Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing?

@thecarpathian

I hear what you’re sayin but have you listened to these songs? Many / most are about despair and real darkness of the soul. These are so relatable points in some peoples lives that there are phrases about it "cryin in your beer"

Personally I’m interested in the portrayed emotions these songs illicit.

From the happy everything’s OK Margeritaville tune who’s underlying message is the realization that from "It’s nobody’s fault" to "It’s my own damn fault"

Or the Randy Newman tune Guilty (which I’m undecided on which is better Randy’s or Jo Cocker’s)

"And ite takes a whole lot of medicine For me to pretend that I’m somebody else"

Or Tom Wait’s inebriated portrayal in the "Piano’s been drinking"

Most of these songs are about something.

And CHEERS to everyone who’s added to my musical journey.

99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall — Andy Kaufman

Interesting that a habit that causes so many physical and mental health problems and is literally classified as a disease receives so much glorification.

I don’t believe I saw this one on the list.

Hmm it seems  you can't embed media on Audiogon anymore or I just don't know how to do it.

Sweet Wine of Love - Robin Trower

Mull of Kintyre - Wings - although technically about a place in Scotland, McCartney and Laine composed it while drinking a bottle of whiskey and it just sounds like a song that the entire bar would sing along to if they've had enough to drink.

You too will give it up once BPH sets in.
