Okay, I wanna start a list of the funnest songs to pick up yer guitar (or an other instrument) and play along to when you are drunken.

Beatles - "Octopus's Garden"
Turbonegro - "Prince of the Rodeo"
Blue Oyster Cult - "Godzilla"
Procol Harum - "A Whiter Shade of Pale" (this is good if you have a cheap keyboard)
Mooker T & MGs - "Green Onions" (this is good if you are drunk to the point that you think you know how to play blues licks on the keyboard, but you really don't, so you just bust the fuck out of your hand on the keyboard with a bluesy/pained expression on your face (like me right now))
The Rolling Stones - "brown Sugar" (cause that's fun to sing along to.)

I can't play guitar, but on the right occasion every hollow surface is my drum.

Well, that's fun sober, so it don't count.

Fuck'em, Nevermind, yes it does.

By the way, this thread would have never been started if www.musiciansfriend.com had't started blowing out the Oscar Schmidt (by Washburn) OE30 Delta King guitars for $150, and I hadn't ordered one. I got it in the UPS today, and it's awesome, makes me feel like my dad (with all his snobby-ass Gibson ES335's and ES345s and ES330s and shit) but with cheaper gear and way less dough.

"21st Century Schizoid Man"

The ones I always end up playing are-

"Dead Flowers" by the Stones
"Day Tripper" by the Beatles (totally fun riff to play)
"Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth (same fucking riff as "Day Tripper" except for a couple notes)
"What Goes On" by the Velvets (three chords, like "Dead Flowers")
"Mellow My Mind" by Neil Young (this one is actually tough because there are like, complicated chord changes and shit, and also it's really morose so if I wanna play it I'm usually wasted)
"Lookout Joe" by Neil Young
basically the whole Tonight's the Night album...

oh sometimes I play "The Wizard" by Uriah Heep and "All or Nothing" by the Small Faces and "Red Balloon" by Tim Hardin. Those are all kind of similar chordally.

― Broheems (diamond), Saturday, 24 January 2004 06:32 (twenty-two years ago)

oh and "Song of a Baker" by the Small Faces is great too.

"El Scorcho" by Weezer is fun to play along to drunk, cause you can fuck up the solo and it still sounds good, or if it doesn't, it's still fun.

It's harder to play drunk. Easier when stoned. Weed, that is... That's my experience. And for Christsakes don't try to play while yer trippin'.

DO try to play while you're tripping!

Lake Of Fire - Meat Puppets

Dead easy chords + screechy drunken vocal opportunity.

THE THEME TO THE GOOD THE BAND AND THE UGLY

While drunk = Forget it! (No fine motor skills plus a fear of electrocution from drooling on the pickups)

But after a bong hit or two:

1. Ashtray Heart - Captain Beefheart
2. Marquee Moon - Television [Rhythm parts only, solos too difficult]
3. I Want Candy - Bow Wow Wow [Usually fuck up the intro]
4. Cinnamon Girl - Neil Young [Drop-D tuning always sounds great!]
5. Looking At You - MC5
6. Anything at all by Bo Diddley or James Brown

making up impromptu songs about your friends is always good for a giggle.
