Those of you who have avoided the so-called "tipple" thread might be well advised to continue doing so, especially if you are annoyed by graphic and unbounded foolishness, or if the production of excessive laughter has a distressing effect on the performance of your pacemaker. That thread actually has nothing to do with tippling (except possibly tippling influenced some of the postings, I would n't know). This one does.

Seeing as that infamous St Paddy's Day, which can be profitable or expensive depending on your approach, is coming at us very soon, like Wednesday, this is what I'm wondering: What are the songs that are difficult for you to get through when you're a few pints to the wind? (This is strictly a nostalgia exercise for me now, and it isn't singing that I've given up. Nuff said.)

For me I'd have to say, "Rocky Road to Dublin". Damn thing doesn't have anywhere to take a breath...

...to see the lassies smile laughin all the while at my curious style twould set your heart a-bubblin they asked if I was hired the wages I required till I was almost tired of the rocky road to dublin one two three four five hunt the hare and turn her down along the road and all the ways to dublin whack fa-lo-di-ra (great gasping intake of air if one makes it this far)

-Jack O'Kerouac

In the pop category, I used to know some women fom Michigan who would attempt to sing "Our House" together if they felt the need of a sobriety check.

What others?

Just abt anything; I can only take a little o' the pure, & after that if I keep drinkin' I'm on my derrier, either figurativly w/attempting to make music, or literally, (usually after I've lost my last meal), if I've had too much. Hell'uv a thing for a fellow whose even part Irish (also part american indian).

Cheers, BK
