So it's 12:30 in the morning, the bar is packed full of people who've had plenty of social lubricant, but nobody's vomiting yet. What songs are virtually guaranteed to get at least 1/3 of the patrons singing along? I can name three, in reverse order of likelyhood.

3. U2, "Sunday Bloody Sunday". This moves to number two if it's an Irish bar.

2. Jimmy Buffet, "Margaritaville".

1. Billy Joel, "Piano Man". The best pop song ever is also the best bar song ever.

"Am I ever gonna see you face again" usually gets a lot of singalongs.

Calm down, it's just a fad.

Give it a week, we'll back to our usual quota of sex threads.

Forget who does it, but I think it's called "Daydream Believer" or somesuch.

This probably would only happen among a group of metalheads, but I'd say "Rivfader" by Finntroll. Folk metal in sweedish!

Again incorrect. It's "Bye Bye, Miss American Pie."

Depending on the group you're with, Irish drinking songs tend to get everyone hearing them singing, myself included. (then again I do camp with the bards at SCA events and know most of the songs.)

The song is simply called "American Pie", and it's a little long for a good bar song. Everyone does know the chorus, though.

Didn't know that. The song is technically before my time, but I still like it.

I believe Kornstar is referring to The Pogues.

Whiskey in the jar.

It really sets the mode, but not metallicas please.

Whiskey In The Jar Lyrics

As I was goin' over the Cork and Kerry mountains
I saw Captain Farrell and his money he was countin'
I first produced my pistol and then produced my rapier
I said stand o'er and deliver or the devil he may take ya

Must ya ring dum a doo dum a da
What for my daddy-o
What for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

I took all of his money and it was a pretty penny
I took all of his money and I brought it home to Molly
She swore that she'd love me, never would she leave me
But the devil take that woman for you know she tricked me easy

Must ya ring dum a doo dum a da
What for my daddy-o
What for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Being drunk and weary I went to Molly's chamber
Takin' my money with me and I never knew the danger
For about six or maybe seven in walked Captain Farrell
I jumped up, fired off my pistols and I shot him with both barrels

Must ya ring dum a doo dum a da
What for my daddy-o
What for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

Now some men like the fishin' and some men like the fowlin'
And some men like ta hear a cannon ball a roarin'
Me I like sleepin' specially in my Molly's chamber
But here I am in prison, here I am with a ball and chain yeah

Must ya ring dum a doo dum a da
What for my daddy-o
What for my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar-o

And i got drunk on whiskey-o
And I love, i love, i love, i love, i love, i love my molly-o

You know, I got really hammered on Wednesday and sang something with my father...and I forget what. It was really appropriate though.

How about Bohemian Rhapsody? Though I agree Piano Man is the best choice.

Granted, I love Piano Man, but I seriously don't see the appeal of singing it when drunk. It strikes me as being really depressing, and soon I would be wallowing in my own lack of self-worth. At least all the English pub-songs are fun and have some energy. Piano Man actually discusses how pathetic everyone is for being drunk! Usually, I get drunk to escape how bad my lot is, not to focus more on it.
