best song promoting alcoholism...

Post by footprintzinthesand »

I'd have to say, off the top of my head, The Mentors "Forty Ouncer"...

With lyrics such as "I've got my alcoholic dreams" and a mixture of both cryptic n prominent statements about needing sauce/malt liquor/Olde English 800, you're bound to crave a drink or 20 by the end of the song... I'm surprised beer companies haven't used this song to sell yet, subliminally hidden in the fucking background music of a commercial (like they even NEED the media to sell)...

I meant that as in, playing the song subliminally hidden (and not noticeable unless you have the right equipment) in another more acceptable background song (like they might have undetectable voices hidden in the music saying "Drink beer, Drink beer"- not saying they DO, but it's highly possible)... Budweiser wouldn't directly play The fucking Mentors on their commercials, ha, not at this point in time anyway...

Nearly anything by the Pogues - Waxie's Dargle, Streams of Whiskey, Dark Streets of London,The Sickbed of Cuchlulainn, The Old Main Drag, Sally MacLennane...Nancy Whiskey and That Woman's Got Me Drinking with the Popes.

Hell, Shane MacGowan is the sodding poster boy for alcoholism.
