What's best song to stagger around your house drunk in the daytime to?
Edited on Mon Jul-10-06 02:36 PM by HEyHEY
I say Carmen Suite. It has everything one needs to have a truly great drunken experience by one's self.

36. Time
if your feeling maudlin, philosophical, etc.

Plus Tom Waits always sounds drunk off his ass, so it feels like he's there with you.


Khash.

2. Cab Calloway.
That should add a little bit of class to your drunken staggering.

3. I probably would go with
wipeout.

Or maybe it's "walk don't run" I always get those two confused.

That should sober you up and give you a reason to go outside, get away from the music, and enjoy a nice summer's day.
(Do I sound like your mother?)

18. That's the idea!
You get all the alcohol out of the stomach and you sober up a lot faster.

19. Louis Jordan's....
What's The Use Of Getting Sober (When You're Gonna Get Drunk Again)

Boy, you listen to your old Pappy
Yeah, Pappy
And stop drinking so much
I'm-I'm ain't been doing so much drinking, Pappy
Shut up, boy! You drink all day and you drink all night and you know, son, that that ain't right
Oh Pappy, you just give me a chance. I, I can, I . . .
Shut up, boy! Boy, you're lookin' thin as a twig
I know that . . . Look likes your dear old Pappy - about to blow your wig
Oh I'm gonna blow my wig, Pappy

What's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again
Oh Sam done something fine
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
I love my whiskey and I love my gin
Every time you see me I'm in my sin
So what's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again

I went out last night about half past one
Thought I'd whoop it up a little and have some fun
I got me a half pint about half past two
Mmm, mmm, the way I was feeling you know what I wanna do
Got me a pint about half past four
Felt so good, went out and got me some more
Got me a quart about half past five
Boy, that was so nice didn't know if I was dead or alive

So what's the use of getting sober If you're gonna get drunk again
Oh Sam done something fine
When he bought that good whiskey, beer and wine
I love my whiskey and I love my gin
Every time you see me I'm in my sin
So what's the use of getting sober
When you're gonna get drunk again

Well I've been thinking
But I keep drinking
I guess I'm 'bout lose my mind

20. Something by Lynard Skynard would probably work. Or maybe
some other old Southern Rock group. (That's always worked for me, anyway.)

26. Thanks for the suggestion
I'm too drunk to remember what I want to listen to; but sober enough to know that you didn't spell Lynyrd Skynyrd correctly.

Sweeeeeeeet Home Alabama.

Now Watergate does not bother me. Does your conscience bother you?

Most misunderstood lyric ever

31. You told the truth: your conscience is clear
You also provided me with a perfect inspiration for a nice drunken workout on my bike trainer, during which I realized that Bobby Keys has an uncanny ability to show up on great drinking songs. He was a sax player for Skynyrd, the Stones and Warren Zevon

Nothing like a good cry in the middle of a drunken afternoon...

Then turn on the lifetime channel and watch a romance novel....

24. The entire soundtrack
To Rocky Horror Picture Show, movie or broadway version your personal preference, although I tend to gravitate towards the classic movie version. In appropriate garb (you know, feather boas, corset, fishnets, etc)

25. "Get me to the Church on Time"
Jamie, Harry, Friends There's just a few more hours.
That's all the time you've got. A few more hours
Before they tie the knot.

There are drinks and girls all over London,
and I've gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours!
I'm getting married in the morning! Ding dong!
The bells are gonna chime. Pull out the stopper!
Let's have a whopper! But get me to the church on time!

I gotta be there in the mornin'
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
Girls, come and kiss me;
Show how you'll miss me.
But get me to the church on time!

If I am dancin' Roll up the floor.
If I am whistlin' Whewt me out the door!
For I'm gettin' married in the mornin'
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Kick up an rumpus But don't lost the compass;
And get me to the church, Get me to the church,
For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!

I'm getting married in the morning
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Doolittle Drug me or jail me, Stamp me and mail me.
But get me to the church on time!

I gotta be there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in me prime.
Some bloke who's able Lift up the table,
And get em to the church on time!

If I am flying Then shoot me down.
If I am wooin',
Get her out of town!
For I'm getting married in the morning!
Ding dong! the bells are gonna chime.
Feather and tar me;
Call out the Army; But get me to the church.
Get me to the church...
For Gawd's sake, get me to the church on time!

37. blind faith - can't find my way home...
Come down off your throne
And leave your body alone
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting so long
Somebody holds the key
Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time
Well, I'm wasted and I can't find my way home

Come down on your own
And leave your money at home
Somebody must change
You are the reason
I've been waiting all these years
Somebody holds the key
I'm near the end, and I just ain't got the time
Oh, and I'm wasted, and I can't find my way home

But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
But I can't find my way home
Still, I can't find my way home
And, I ain't done nothing wrong
But, I can't find my way home
