Question:
What is the best song with the name of an alcoholic drink in the title?


And I'm trying to include a variety of genres/eras, so please point out ones that I am forgetting.

Choices:
Tequila Sunrise by the Eagles
Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg
Red Red Wine by Neil Diamond (any version)
Love is like a Bottle of Gin by the Magnetic Fields
Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet

 

Gordon Lightfoot - "Blackberry Wine"
Evan Dando - "In the Grass All Wine Colored"

Also, I voted for "Margaritaville."

Well, IMHO, and I'm pretty sure m.leland will agree with me, the absolute best song with an alcoholic drink in the title is Tom Waits' "Jockey Full of Bourbon". It blows away the others on your list, although I will give props to Neil Diamond and Snoop Dogg.

Some other good ones:

"Red Red Wine" - The Replacements. No relation to the Neil Diamond/UB40 song.

"All The Wine" - The National

"Lilac Wine" - Jeff Buckley

"Cold Gin" - Kiss.

"Whiskey in the Jar" - Traditional/Thin Lizzy

"Alabama Whiskey Song" - The Doors

The Triple Threat:
"One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer" - John Lee Hooker/George Thorogood

EDIT: And I almost forgot, Eric Burdon & War's "Spill the Wine".

Hard not to like "There's a Tear in My Beer" by Hank Williams Sr. and Jr.

From your choices, I'll take the Eagles.

Some other options:

"Jack vs. Jose" Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers. It's a debate between Jack Daniels and Jose Cuervo, by the way.

"Tonight The Bottle Let Me Down" Merle Haggard (and Elvis Costello, Flying Burrito Bros, etc)

"Whiskey River" Willie Nelson (among many)

Another one:

Guns N' Roses' ode to cheap wine, "Nighttrain".

From the list I voted for "Margaritaville".

Also there is:
"Tequila" by The Champs
"Cheap Tequila" by Johnny Winter
"Elderberry Wine" by Elton John

I'll 2nd Lilac Wine - Jeff Buckley along with...

Whiskey Bottle - Uncle Tupelo

Honorable mention that almost works:

New Pornographers - Slow Descent into Alcoholism

I also like "A Goodbye Rye" by Richard Buckner, although I think I'm the only Buckner fan around here.

"John Barleycorn Must Die" by dozens of artists, including Traffic, Jethro Tull and Frank Black. "John Barleycorn Must Live" by Young Fresh Fellows.

Some good ones here. I personally like The Days of Wine and Booze by the Minus 5.

How about 99 bottles of beer on the wall?...kidding.

drinkin wine spo-dee-oo-dee-sticks mcgee-1949,the first hit on the atlantic lable.

I can't believe Snoop's getting no love on Pax's poll. Is no one here "laid back, with their mind on their money and their money on their mind"?

Personal favorite:
Strawberry Wine- Ryan Adams

Whiskey In The Jar - Thin Lizzy
Beer, Beer, Beer - The Pogues
Booze Me Up And Get Me High - Ween

"Beer Money" by Love/Hate

Only one possible choice for me: "Jockey Full of Bourbon" by Tom Waits

Deja Voodoo - Beers.

"Champagne Supernova" by Oasis
"Cold Gin" by Kiss

I'd suggest Beer Run by Garth Brooks
