Drinking OmniScriptum Drinking Song: Alcoholic beverage, Folk music, Rugby Football, Hash House Harriers, Fraternities and sororities Paperback

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. A drinking song is a song sung while drinking alcohol. Most drinking songs are folk songs, and may be varied from person to person and region to region, in both the lyrics and in the music. Some groups that have a tradition of singing drinking songs include rugby players, Hash House Harriers, air force fighter pilots, and fraternities. The Star-Spangled Banner's tune is the same as an English drinking song by John Stafford Smith called "To Anacreon in Heaven". The spiritual "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" is used as a drinking song by members of the Hash House Harriers and rugby union players, with obscene gestures associated with the lyrics. This song is heightened to a drinking game by air force fighter pilots. The first person to fail to correctly make the gestures has to buy the next round of drinks.
