Even if you consider me a party pooper these are the drinking songs during my youth in “beer country”. I linked some of the lyrics or took a stab at translating them since how can a drinking song be any good if you cannot sing along?

The “Toten Hosen” (the "dead pants"): Altbierlied (Old-beer song) (http://byo.com/cider/item/582-dusseldorf-altbier-style-profile)

Every man loves proudly his home country
Thus we love, of course, our beach at the Rhein,
Where stands the old castle tower, that’s our home,
since it cannot go without beer we shout out quickly:

[Ref.:]>Yeah, are we in the woods here? Where is our Altbier?
We have in Duesseldorf the longest bar of the world, yes, yes.
Yeah, are we in the woods here? Where is our Altbier?
Where is the hero who on his tap orders the next round?<

We join a gentleman tour to the beautiful Aar (river),
We drink burgundy (wine) only, of course!
However, at midnight is the longing too much
For the glass from the Altbierbarrel and the whole group starts shouting:
Ref.

The Toten Hosen essentially got famous with drinking songs, here is another one:

Illegal 2001, Dosenbier macht schlau (Beer in cans makes smart):

When I was born, dear God was sleeping,
Since I was born without any talent.
I have two left hands and five thumbs on each hand,
And because I am so dumb I have no luck with women,
But I don’t give up hope, since one thing I know exactly,
I drink beer from cans daily because canned beer makes smart.
My Dad was landscaper at the university
And he said: Dear Thomas, it is not too late,
I tell you a secret from a friend who is a student,
who drinks only hoppy-beerido and he is intelligent,
keep your hands of champagne, that stuff just makes you drunk,
drink rather a lot of canned beer, since canned beer makes smart.
I am drunk every day, just short from delirium,
And I can only hope, my cleverness does not kill me,
I look like a corpse and my belly grows immensely,
Those are just side effects of my mental potential, who cares.
If you are feeling really bad and you do not know,
Just try it with “Klosterfraumelissengeist” (old-school german natural potion, helps against everything)

Before my time but still popular during my party days: The Bots: Was wollen wir trinken? (What do we want for drink?)

Lyrics: http://lyricstranslate.com/en/Was-wollen-wir-trinken-Was-wollen-wir-trinken.html

You may get a kick out of that one: Paul Kuhn: Es gibt kein Bier auf Hawaii (There is no beer in Hawaii)

And finally: Herbert Groenemeyer: Alkohol:
