Last week we learned (with apologies to, or curses at, Eric Idle) about didactic songs. This week's theme will be the opposite; eat drink and be merry. We'll start with the quintessential drinking song, the consequences of which are sometimes the stuff of opera. Feel free to sing along. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcKdnkGBSgA Now for something more reality based, and stoic to boot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yrr4nVQq3dc And hopefully what we eat and drink will help keep us this way. One is reminded of an American Bollywood. See if you can recognize who's at 1:56. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mSvQtAnh_CI&feature=related At this point we might need a break from all this vim and vigor. Let's take a break with, oh no! More vim and vigor! And more drinking! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ5p9WttVhE And finally, Verdi-following, sha na na live-for-today baby boomer meets Patti Page for a reality check. Nice song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCxyL0Z_SQw&feature=related Andy
