Tonight we are going old school. To this day, one of my all time favorite ska/punk bands is REEL BIG FISH. In fact, I think that I have seen Reel Big Fish in concert more times that any other band or artist that I have seen thus far. Not to mention, they have put on some of the all time best performances that I have ever seen!!!
One of my favorite Reel Big Fish songs is absolutely perfect for this beer blog. And so I will subject you all to its music video. The song is Beer. And it is awesome.
Hopefully, many of you will recognize the song and reminisce with me. If not, I hope you at least find it humorous.
And now I think I’ll have myself a beer …
Want to sing along? Lyrics are posted underneath the video!
Cheers!
“BEER” by REEL BIG FISH
[verse]
She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
It didn’t matter anymore,
I say she never cared
And that she never will,
I’d do it all again
I guess I’ll have to wait until then
[chorus]
And if i get drunk well, I’ll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won’t bother me no more
And if you’re drinkin’ well, you know
That you’re my friend and I say
I think I’ll have myself a beer
[verse]
She called me late last night, to say she loved me so
but I guess you changed her mind.
Well I should have known, it wouldn’t be all right,
but I can’t live without her
So I won’t even try…
[chorus]
And if I get drunk well, I’ll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won’t bother me no more
And if you’re drinkin’ well, you know
That you’re my friend and I say
I think I’ll have myself a beer
[interlude]
Maybe some day, I’ll think of what to say
Maybe next time I’ll remember what to do
She looks like heaven, maybe this is hell
Said she’d do it all again, she’d promise not to tell!
[chorus]
And if I get drunk well, I’ll pass out
On the floor now baby
You won’t bother me no more
she said,
it’s okay boy cause you know
we’ll be go friends and I say
I think I’ll have myself a beer
I think I’ll have myself a beer
Woohoo etc
yeah yeah yeah
woo hoo hoo
Don’t sign that paper tonight she said,
but I can’t work in fast food all my life.
Oh the memories. She has a girlfriend now (do do d-d-d-doo)
I am so happy someone else besides me loves this song. RBF is badass. I have seen them over twenty times. Of course I do live fairly close to where they originated from. I got their autograph on their DVD as well as them taking a picture with my son who was about 3 at the time.
