15 Ideal Songs For Porch Drinking

Karl Karlson9 years ago

It’s here, folks. The frigid grasp of winter is on the way out and spring is prepped for springing. With warmer weather comes a tradition as old as time itself: porch beers. The only things truly necessary for a flawless porch beer atmosphere are sunshine, shorts, a cooler of cold brews, some buddies, and a lineup of tasty jams. These songs are sure to keep you mellow while you mellow and help your experience take chilling to the next level.

Lynyrd Skynyrd – Tuesday’s Gone

A slow jam. At least one person is bound to say “My name is Happy Gilmore, and I’m a hockey player” during the intro.

Robert Earl Keen – Corpus Christi Bay

A Texas classic. Anything by Robert Earl Keen could fit on this list.

Bleu Edmondson – $50 and a Flask of Crown

More Texas country. Those guys should stop funding the football program and focus on the arts. HA! Jk.

CCR – Lookin’ Out My Back Door

If your porch drinking sesh doesn’t include a little foot stomping, it’s not a success. As with REK, any CCR is good CCR.

Kenny Loggins – I’m Alright (Caddyshack Version)

Danger Zone is a party song, but this one’s ideal for a day of rest. Make gopher pledge bust a move while you listen.

Z-Ro – Comin’ Dyne

“Rap?! Are you kidding me?!” says the commenter who wore snapbacks and J’s before rush but wants to look tough on the internet.

Keni Thomas – Another Mexico Song

Courtesy of a great episode of Louie. Goes great with the marg life.

Turnpike Troubadours – Good Lord Lorrie

If you haven’t heard these guys yet listen in. Country ain’t dead yet.

O.A.R. – Crazy Game of Poker

Singalongs. TPBM (Total Porch Beer Move).

Mungo Jerry – In the Summertime

Look at those chops and tell me you aren’t considering starting a groovy band right there on the deck. I think Rich played piano when he was a kid.

Oak Ridge Boys – Calling Baton Rouge

Sorry Garth, but sometimes you have to go with the old dogs over the young pup.

Van Morrison – Domino

Morrison’s other song is a good listen too. Only if there are girls present of course.

Dave Matthews Band – Tripping Billies (Live at Woodstock 99)

Live Dave beats Studio Dave every single time.

Cam’ron – Hey Ma

“Don’t touch nothing just sit in the car.” It’s a TFM.

Slim Thug – Welcome 2 Houston

Nothing screams “I’m in a fraternity” like drinking Keystones with the squad while listening to a rapper named Slim Thug.

Three Dog Night – Joy To The World

The four words that get people bumping anywhere, anytime: “Jeremiah was a bullfrog”.
