It’s Friday. Here’s five songs about bars and/or drinking:
5. “Hey Bartender” (Floyd Dixon, 1955)
4. “Warm Beer and Cold Women” (Tom Waits, 1975)
3. “Gin and Juice” (Snoop Dogg, 1993)
2. “Have a Drink on Me” (AC/DC. 1980)
1. “One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer” (John Lee Hooker, 1966)
What inspired this theme?
It was the Floyd Dixon song mostly. I hadn’t heard it before and it was on the blues station on my satellite radio. When I changed the station, to the 90s channel, Snoop was on. I thought of Tom Waits next and then figured it would make a list of 5!
I’m a bit embarrassed to admit I know “Hey Bartender” from The Blues Brothers.
