I had taken this idea from the show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?", but formated it to fit this forum...
For those of you who don't know, an Irish drinking song is described as the following:
Thus, everyone will post one line of a song verse on a given topic. Then after thirty-one people post, the song ends and the last person to post gives a new topic.
For example:
We will not join in during the "hai-dee-dai-dee-dai" part, since this is a forum and that is impossible to do without a live chat...
I will give the first topic to start...
For those of you who don't know, an Irish drinking song is described as the following:
The four performers sing an Irish drinking song about an audience-suggested subject. The performers each sing a line, in turn, in an eight-line stanza beginning with the first performer and running two rotations through the performers. The second performer begins the second eight-line stanza, and so-on to complete four stanzas. At the end of each stanza, all singers sing in unison "hai-dee-dai-dee-dai" or something of that nature. Each stanza typically has a rhyme scheme in which the fourth performer's lines rhyme with the line previously given by the second performer. The first and third performers' lines don't typically rhyme (the eight lines in each stanza could thus be paired into four lines of AABB rhyming).
Thus, everyone will post one line of a song verse on a given topic. Then after thirty-one people post, the song ends and the last person to post gives a new topic.
For example:
The Drew Carey Irish Drinking Song
Person One - Ohhhh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
I've seen him on network TV,
Person Two - He's seen him on the streets.
Person Three - He's always got a great big smile,
Person Four - He's looking kinda neat,
Person Five - He has short hair and glasses,
Person Six - And other things that aren't so short,
Person Six - He is very kind,
Person Seven - And this I will retort.
Person Eight - Oh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
I hear he is a nice guy,
Person Nine - He dresses really well,
Person Ten - The tall guy on his show is funny,
Person Eleven - And the black guy's really swell,
Person Twelve - But let's not forget his bald friend,
Person Thirteen - Because he's really good,
Person Fourteen - Sure he's got lots of money,
Person Fifteen - You'll never catch him in the hood,
Person Sixteen - Oh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
He's generous to all his friends,
Person Seventeen - He's got lots of cash,
Person Eighteen - And if you go over to his place,
Person Nineteen - He'll kick you in the ash,
Person Twenty - He's got a great big TV,
Person Twenty-one - He lets you watch it there,
Person Twenty-two - And then you can watch the big screen,
Person Twenty-three - At the Lilith Fair!
Person Twenty-four - Oh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
His glasses are kind of funny,
Person Twenty-five - And people think they're fake.
Person Twenty-six - Especially these glasses,
Person Twenty-seven - He is quite a rake.
Person Twenty-eight - Oh but he's a very good guy now,
Person Twenty-nine - And he has telepathic powers,
Person Thirty - And he can fly through the airplane (oh shoot...)
Person Thirty-one - He's worn a thong for hours!
Oh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di!
Oh, aye-dee-di-dee-di-dee-di-dee-diiii-deeee-diiii-deeee-diiiiiii!
Then Person Thirty-one will post an new topic to 'sing' about.
We will not join in during the "hai-dee-dai-dee-dai" part, since this is a forum and that is impossible to do without a live chat...
I will give the first topic to start...
