Dropkick Murphys - Kiss Me, I'm Sh*tfaced (really, nearly anything by them...)
Dr. Demento - F*ck You, I'm Drunk
Flogging Mollys - Drink & Fight
Gordon Parsons - The Pub With No Beer (actually an Aussie)
Spirit Of The West - Home For A Rest (who HASN'T heard this one? Its the 'Backpacker's Anthem')
The Dreadnoughts - Fire Marshall Willy
The Pogues or The Dubliners - Lots to choose from

Some traditional songs:
Rocky road to Dublin
Finnegans wake
Irish rover

Man, you can go forever...lol. I have a CD entitled "Songs of drinking and rebellion"-as one can imagine, its got pretty much every pub song on there..

My favorites would probably be:

Bastards - The Real McKenzies
Spicy McHaggis Jig - The Dropkick Murphys
Drunken Lullabies - Flogging Molly
Drink & Fight or 5 O'Clock - The Mudmen

Whisky, You're The Devil-Poxy Boggards (or pretty much any of their songs)
What's Up Yours- Barleyjuice (For drinking in a kilt)

I can't drink anymore, but for drinking songs of the Celtic variety, it would be really hard to get much better than the Clancy Brothers.

Some of my faves:
Cruiscin Lan
Pub With No Beer
Whisky, You're the Divil
Juice of the Barley
Finnegan's Wake
Maloney Wants a Drink
Mountain Dew

Got to go with "Another Irish Drinking Song" by DaVinci's Notebook.

How can I not love a song with lyrics like:

"Ken, he died in Kilkenny
And Claire she died in Claire
Darren died in Derry
Taking in the Derry air."

and

"My only hope is when
The Good Lord comes for me and you
He kills the cast of Riverdance
And Michael Flattley, too."

...it's a PARODY, folks...it's meant to be funny...don't take it seriously...Mr. Flattley is obviously still alive...

Best

OK, I'll contribute one

I think "The Irish Ballad" by Tom Lehrer is great song to sing and drink to.

THE best drinking song, INMO: Barrett's Privateers by the late great Stan Rogers:

Right, Colin? :mrgreen:

If I had to pick another one, it would have to be Waltzing Matilda. There are just too many to pick from.
