I agree.

The obvious answer to me is Big Strong Man. I heard it for the first time in Ireland and I absolutely loved it and brought it back to the states with me to educate the rest of my drinking buddies.

I'm somewhat partial to lively rebel songs, something about a few pints flowing through the veins and the beat and the lyrics just get me going. A few of my favorite standards are: broad black brimmer, boys of the old brigade, celtic symphony, black and tans, rifles of the IRA, the merry ploughboy, johnson;s motorcar.

A couple less traditional reb songs are: go on home british soldiers, stick your decommission up your arse, and the SAM song.

The Wild Rover always gets a huge response at our local Pub in Raleigh, North Carolina. However, among the more Rowdy Sex and Beer and Beer Beer Beer seem to get a a bit of a response. I particularly like I'm a Free Born Man. However, when the pipes start to play, the whole mood changes to Danny Boy, Flower of Scotland Etc. seem to be the order.

In America when I was bartending last, the favorite was the country western song, I Got Friends In Low Places.Every drunk in the house knew the words to that one.Plus they had all the answers.
