So I was thinking, there are some very good songs out there (mostly oldschool) that would make great drinking songs, so why not have a panel to learn and practice them!
We could even see about giving out like, tokens for the bar and buy everyone who goes to the panel a drink at the hotel bar later that night to practice them!

I love this idea.

I'm all for this! lol Time to work on my memory. lol

I assume this will be done with real alcohol, as in licences will be checked and such?

The panel wouldn't have any alcohol, but I assume the hotel bar checks ID. That's their issue though.

See, I would totally attend this, even if I don't like alcohol. I wonder if they sell just plain soda at the bar... *ponders*

they indeed do.

Well, awesome then! Will they let me sit there if I'm not twenty one though? I know I've gotten snarked at in hotel bars before when I went to order a coke (though, I've also sat at bars at hotels before and gotten treated to virgin daiquiris, so, it probably depends.)

...oooh, strawberry daiquiris. I know what I'm getting!.

What types of rowdy drinkin songs shall be sang? Or is it just going to be a bunch of drunk dudes stumbling their way through the lyrics to Baby Got Back?

The most classic of anime songs.

Inochi wo sutete ore wa i-ki-RUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
The only parts of anime songs I know are the very last lyric sang in the opening right before the episode comes on.
Fast forward is so magical.

Well, I take that back, I do know the whole English Pokemon and Sailor Moon theme.

But yeah, singing while being sloshed is always good fun.

Makanai... er, something something, SAILOR YELL! Zetai, something something, SAILOR STARS!.... la la la la, *hums with the song*

....ok, something easier. Um..

Totoro, to-to-ro! Totoro, totoro! ;p

Tachi Mo--- WEEEEEEDO!!!

There is a huge difference between good sing-a-long songs and good drinking songs!

Of course ;p.

In all seriousness, do you have any particular songs in mind? It may be a good idea to get a list together and print out lyrics, since some of us are less adept at remembering songs in japanese (especially when some of you are going to be smashed!)

Well of course preperations will be made!

I'd like to go to this, even if I couldn't go to the bar.

The Kujibiki Unbalance intro from the OVAs! It will be just like Genshiken!

Want any help? I have this desire to feel useful, now that I see my classes aren't going to be as crazily difficult as they were last quarter XD

*shrugs*

Ooh, ooh, I know the song from Pirates of the Carribean. Pirates and drinking go hand in hand!

No that will bring in Onepiece cosplayers!

classic anime?

-Robotech. we could 'duh duh duh' the tune
-Go Speed Racer Go!!!
-the dub Sailor Moon theme. that's a given

Speed Racer would probably work, it's slow enough.

re-do kiss me im shit faced by drop kick murphys XD

I am so going to this!

Hey, how about someone singing the Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe opening!! Or the Hellsing opening.

Hellsing opening wouldn't be bad.

Here are some of the top of my head:

-"Freckles"-Ruroni Kenshin opening(can you imagine someone being sloshed sing this? It'd be F'ing hilarious!)

-Opening to Tsukikage Ran

I was going to mention the Opening to Excel Saga...but i dunno

Most of these are pretty terrible suggestions, though you're right about Tsukikage Ran

opening to Full Metal Panic

Tsukikage Ran's possible, cause I know it. Otherwise for simplicity's sake let's just keep the list short

Azumanga Daioh...

~Cooking is so fun
Cooking is so fun
Now it's time to take a break
And see what we have done!
It's ready!~

*ducks*

Now sing that in Japanese.

作りましょお。作りましょお。
扨、扨、何ができるかな。
はい！できました！

I thought that what going to the panal was suppose to teach me.

Wyatt, you're so cool.

But I don't think it'd be good for the panel though, heh.

The Plrin magical girl song from Welcome to the NHK. That thing is a bitch to try and sing sober. Thats why I want to see a drunken otaku stumble through the lyrics.

To hell with America's Drinking age law.
Why, when I was in Germany...I sang the most classic of..German drinking songs drinking the weird ass German version of Mike's Lemonade. The name escapes me though, Radler?
Really though I did.
But I guess not here. It sounds fun to me though, even if I can't be drunk.

You can still be drunk, you just can't buy it from the hotel bar!

Yea, I guess I could. =]
Then, I plan on it.

I'll probably "witness" this, but not participate. I such at singing and have a hard time remembering song lyrics in general. What characteristics make a good drinking song anyway?
