…where streams of whiskey are flowing. After that brief foray into hip hop, lets head over to Ireland for Drinking Song #12 and hear Shane MacGowan and his band The Pogues. I understand Mr. MacGowan did plenty of personal research in order to sing an authentic drinking song.

Irish music is a gold mine if you’re looking for songs about drinking. For instance, there’s Whiskey in the Jar – Drinking Song #13. Here’s Luke Kelly:

This tune attracted the attention of rocker dudes like Metallica and Thin Lizzy, but I’ll stick with a traditional version, thank you very much. Let’s continue with a couple more Irish drinking tunes. Do you know Beer Beer Beer by the Clancy Brothers (Drinking Song #14)?

…and one more by The Clancy’s with Tommy Makem – Jug of Punch (#15 if you’re counting along with me)

This post should set you up for the weekend (hic).
