DJ Cheat Sheet No. 12

Songs About Beer

Years ago I worked as a prep cook in the kitchen of Little Switzerland, a beer/dance hall with a live polka band. Every weekend busloads of withered Aryan types came to drink, stamp and laugh. During the band's signature song, "The Beer Barrel Polka," the regulars would insert a resounding "Sieg heil!" after the chorus.

But revenge is sweet when you're the prep cook.

(Note: I've excluded every version of that song except for the 1939 hit.)
