These do sound like decent drinking songs. Are they recorded by anyone?

Unlike love songs, drinking songs don't have to be very good songs or particularly intelligent in lyrics. You're supposed to sing them while drinking, and who wants complicated lyrics at a time of ale-washed wits? And who's listening attentively? Simple lyrics, a merry melody, and a repetitive chorus are easier to remember. Now love songs, those call for concentration and a lute, if anyone can still play one . . .
