I've been compiling lists of "Songs about..." for quiz nights for quite a while now (there are some lists, but spread over hundreds of websites, and far from complete - this one ain't either :).. Anyroad, this one has taken ages to put together and I thought that all that sleepless nights' work should not be wasted.This is the result of titles found in lists on the 'net and pulled from my own musical library. The list includes some cover versions but mostly just the original, find your own remakes ;)
There are some alcoholic drinks included though songs about booze is another list, for another day. Also, while there are songs about 'non-alcoholic' bevvies listed, I've not put down every song about water (ist zum Waschen da... ;). Also - I've listed 'orange' songs even though it's about the colour... (bit like 'Fly me to the Moon' in a list of 'Songs about... animals' :))
Some of the songs are German Lieder... just because I am :)
If you have any more suggestions or corrections - please leave a comment (I could do with a few more 'new' songs.. always get complaints my choice of music is too 'antiquated'.. which it should be, after almost half a century :).
BTW - the list is roughly 350 songs long.. if you're interested, peek behind the cut. If not - thanks for reading this far :P
