10 Greatest Modern Rock Songs About Getting Drunk
1. Dropkick Murphys - "Kiss Me, I'm S**tfaced"
"I'm a man of the night, a real ladies delight
See my figure was chiseled from stone
One more for the gal then I'll escort her home
Come last call, I'm never alone"
It would be impossible to have a list about the best drinking songs and not include something by everyone's favorite American Celtic punk band. The boys from Quincy pumped out another modern St. Paddy's Day classic with this one, which is stuffed full of bagpipes and crunching guitars, a combination that no one does better than Dropkick Murphys.
Lyrically, this possibly the most truthful song about the effects of booze you're likely to hear.
The first half of the song is boastful, presenting the narrator as the man we all like to think we are when we've had a few: Confident, smooth, and impossibly desirable to every woman in the bar.
But as the song progresses - and the alcohol triggers that deep-seeded, ironically sobering part of the brain - the facade falls away, revealing a sad and desperate man who knows he's far from perfect...but would just really like to get laid tonight.
