The only thing missing from Mrs. K’s excellent guide to cocktail parties is the grand tradition of drunken sing-alongs. Below I, Mr. K, have compiled a dozen of our favorite songs to belt out at the end of the night:
- Is That All There Is? by Peggy Lee
- Waiting For the End of the World by Elvis Costello
- You’re Gonna Die by William Shatner
- End of the World by REM
- Party at Ground Zero by Fishbone
- They Are Night Zombies!! by Surfjan Stevens
- Bad Moon Rising by CCR
- Until the End of the World by U2
- End of the World by Skeeter Davis
- Farewell Ride by Beck
- Goodbye Blue Sky by Pink Floyd
- The End by the Doors
There are some great stories that go along with some of these songs but Mrs. K has asked me to refrain from telling them here. What’s your favorite?
My Best,
Mr. K
