By the way, there was also an ironic, very popular British song about drinking, i.e. Lily the Pink, which, I think, will also be appreciated by some connoisseurs:
Furthermore, for English learners on our side, it was always "Old McDonald Had a Farm" - lol.
Yes, my generation got the good children's songs ()..."Shoot the Likker To Me John Boy," shoot the likker here and don't be coy...oh and then there was always this one...
If the ocean was whiskey and I was a duck, I'd dive to the bottom and never come (hic) ..."I meant to say UP..." or this one,
"Whiskey rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry, if I don't get rye whiskey I surely will die..."
Oh well THAT in itself is quite telling for the generations...my songs are 'demon alcohol,' yours the opioid intoxicants, which if I recall were initially touted as non-addictive!
Lol - two smiling performances are welcome.
But there are too many nice videos on YouTube! And the more choices you have, the harder it is to choose.
My question was mainly an excuse for posting The Old Sow Song, Marianne...a song EVERYONE should know about, don't you agree?
Lol, of course, it is an excellent idea, Virginia, filled with smiles.

Sorry, not really as I don't get a lot of free time anymore to really explore You Tube. Maybe when I'm in my new house I will.
Rooster, if you have not listened to the Old Sow Song, be sure you give it a go, it is hilarious!
LOL! I don't think Beethoven ever dreamed of the Old Sow Song.
I never heard it before.
(Sigh)...well seriously O'Tink, I don't think you are even old enough to know the Old Sow Song...
Well, Virginia, we sure didn't sing it in school, unlike a some much older songs, such as Good Morning, Pretty Maid, which we discussed a while ago.
