Considering not more than one or two people tops in a group will ever know this song...

Perhaps, but I'd be happy to drink with anybody who knows this song.

Although I do think Piano Man and Only The Good Die Young are better choices. Even Scenes From An Italian Restaurant would be better to drink to.

Mine would be "När vi gräver guld i USA" which is a song about when Sweden took 3rd place in the World Soccer Championships in USA 1994. Obviously it helps to be a Swede.

This year I spent my St. Pat's Day shouting out requests for Dirty Old Town, between irish car bombs and other assorted drinks. No bender involving Guiness is complete without it.

I had never heard of this song, until I found the piano bar on a cruise ship last fall. This song, along with "Piano Man", were the most popular sing-a-longs.

If I ever get around to writing a screenplay, I'll be sure to include the following scene, which I witnessed with my very own eyes in a bar in Lawrence, MA:

It was my first time in this bar, a crummy dive. The jukebox was playing, but no one was really paying attention to it.

Then the familiar piano intro of "Werewolves of London" came on, and the entire atmosphere in the place changed instantly. EVERY regular shifted on his stool a little. The middle-aged bartender quickly showed an amused yet worried look on her face.

"What's going on?", I asked my friend who had brought me here.

"You'll see!", he replied with a gleam in his eye.

I found out when Zevon let out his first "ow-OOOO!", because everyone in the bar was singing it with him at the top of their lungs. None of the lyrics, just the "ow-OOOO!"

I thought this was great fun, and joined in.

About halfway through the song, an old man came stomping into the bar from the back storage area. He was furious. He unplugged the juke box, and threatened to murder anyone who continued to howl. He hated that song, and wanted to cut open the bellies of any one of us scumbags who wanted to come into his bar to howl.

It was clear by the reactions of all that this was a regular ritual in this bar: Zevon, howling, profanity-laced outburst by grumpy old man.

good call on "goodnight saigon." i like to throw "scenes from an italian restaurant" on at around 1:30am at the bar i frequent downtown and that gets people in a righteous good singing mood.
