Does the US have any pub anthems?

[Badgerst]

Meat Loaf "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights". Can I get a link assist?

Bedded a few UW Badger co-Ed's at last call warbling this song in the early 90's.

man college was great.

once went to a more biker-y type bar with dad to shoot pool and they played the song "Lights" by Ellie Goulding. No one really noticed, or at least they pretended not to, but I thought it was weird. Didn't fit the audience. Play some Slow Ride or I'm Bad I'm Nationwide or something.

[Deleted member 1086]

i watch this every year, expecting it to suck, and it still owns.

[Cap'n Cook]

Can't think of one but this one would be good.

 

[lunarworks]

From a similar Canadian perspective... no.
I remember being in a Dutch pub 20 years ago, and every once in a while everyone would break out in song in a way completely unrecognisable here.

 

[Hellsing321]

Don't Stop Believing
Sweet Home Alabama
Tubthumping
Any Queen Song

I don't know if it works quite as well in the USA... but Barrett's Privateers by Stan Rogers is a jam in a lot of pubs in Canada! Well... the east coast, at least.

and if you've got some time

It might not play real well here given that it's about privateering American ships. Goddamn them all.

 

[Officer Big Mac]

We dont need one. Just drink and clap. Clap and drink. Drink and get the clap.

[Border]

Dancing Queen by ABBA, though I wouldn't expect everyone in a dive bar to start singing along it always gets a good reaction in night clubs and the like.

 

[Mr Satan]

Dancing in the Moonlight

I was going to say "Closing Time" as a joke.

[I KILL PXLS]

In my experience, depending on the crowd (ie what type of white people), it's either:
- The Killers - Mr Brightside
- Neil Diamond - Sweet Caroline
- or Rage Against the Machine - Bulls on Parade

 

[psynergyadept]

Don't Stop Believing

In the Boston area it's Sweet Caroline.

You've Lost that Loving Feeling by the Righteous Brothers will do it every time.

Does the US have any good pub music that actually makes the entire joint break out into song?

Click to shrink...

The real question is, do they clap afterwards?

Last time I was in America, Living on a Prayer came on and the whole bar lit up.
