History GargleBlaster / Music

But it's cheap and it WILL get you drunk as a swine.

* Music/TheAvalanches' music video for [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjfspM5sDIA "Frankie Sinatra"]] features a glowing green shaved ice snack and beverage that causes intense hallucinations, violent outbursts, and instances of reckless behavior in those that consume it. Even having the substance touching one's skin is enough to drive a person mad. The lyrics of the song itself detail a person consuming a cocktail of drugs and alcoholic beverages with the conceit that they are living out the titular singer's legendary single "My Way" in the most debauched way possible.

That never should exist.

* Music/RogerMiller's "Chug-a-Lug" has some of this, although the effects are probably due to the narrator's inexperience as much as the potency of the drinks.

* The Music/PoxyBoggards have a song called [[http://www.renaissancefestivalmusic.com/lyrics/happy-jacks-undrinkable-ale/ "Happy Jack's Undrinkable Ale"]] ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZhinyam4mY here covered by the Wild Oats]]):

* [[FilkSong Filksinger]] Music/TomSmith is particularly well-known among science fiction fans for his song "[[https://tomsmith.bandcamp.com/track/307-ale 307 Ale]]", about a beer accidentally brewed in a tesseract and named for its resultant proof level.

Bllllllbbbbbb, I done a double backflip

* Music/DosGringos (a [[YanksWithTanks USAF]] fighter pilot band) gives us "Jeremiah Weed":

* The Music/PoxyBoggards have a song called [[http://www.renaissancefestivalmusic.com/lyrics/2006/06/happy-jacks-undrinkable-al_115000221453413478.shtml "Happy Jack's Undrinkable Ale"]] ([[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZhinyam4mY here covered by the Wild Oats]]):

* The titular brew of song "White Lightning" by The Big Bopper is implied to be one of these, with the reaction of one who drank a sample in one gulp being moaning as he hit the ground. Later in the lyrics the singer mentions his eyes bulging out and face turning blue after tasting a sample, in response to his question to his father about why it was called "White Lightning" instead of "Mountain Dew"

Bllllllbbbbbb, I done a double backflip
* Waylon Jennings ''While Lightning'' is about the moonshine his father used to make, with the chorus always bracketed by the music stopping and someone saying "Pppppppppppphew! Must be White Lightning!". He asked one day why he didn't call it "Mountain Dew" instead; his father gave him a shot. "Right away I knew, coz my eyes bugged out, and my face turned blue! Lightning started flashin'; thunder started crashin'. And I said [music stops] 'Pppppppppppppphew! It must be White Lightning!'"

Bllllllbbbbbb, I done a double backflip

* A Seattle-based filker created an answer song called "307 Hell," about what happens to the drinker under the influence of said ale. It involves puking on a cop, getting tossed in the drunk tank, and having to raise "307 Bail".

* ''TheTwoRonnies'' as Jehosaphat and Jones:

* Roger Miller's "Chug-a-Lug" has some of this, although the effects are probably due to the narrator's inexperience as much as the potency of the drinks.

Bllllllbbbbbb, I done a double-back flip

Blllbbb, I done a double-back flip

I said, "Lemme have a big old sip"\\
Bll-bbb, I done a double-back flip

And I'm just goin' on fifteen\\

Bll-bbb, I done a double back flip

* Roger Miller's "Chug-a-Lug" has this, although the effects are probably due as much to the narrator's inexperience as the potency of the drinks.

So why do we drink it?''\\

* "Chug-a-Lug" by Roger Miller.

-->''A man went to a barmaid, said mix me up a drink,\\

And three hours later he came to and cried...''

-->''Our captain once tried a tankard of Jack's mighty potion.\\

He tried to fly with the wind -- but he ended up dead!''

* [[FilkSong Filksinger]] [[http://www.tomsmithonline.com/ Tom Smith]] is particularly well-known among science fiction fans for his song "[[http://www.tomsmithonline.com/lyrics/307_ale.htm 307 Ale]]", about a beer accidentally brewed in a tesseract and named for its resultant proof level. (This song probably inspired "357 Vodka" and the other beverages from the example above.)

* The title brew of George Jones's song "White Lightning" is implied to be one of these.
-->''A city slicker came and he said "I'm tough"\\
I think I wanna taste that powerful stuff\\
He took one g-g-glug and drank it right down\\
And I heard him a-moaning as he hit the ground...''

-->''It bubbled and it burbled and it glowed a fizzly green\\
And what it did to test equipment frankly was obscene...''
