Talk:Beer, Beer, Beer

message: I know different words to this song. The version (which I learnt from a group called "Brewer's Dray", who were performing at the (first) national CAMRA beer festival at London's Covent Garden Flower Market in 1975) starts:
  A long time ago, way back in history,
  When all we had to drink was cups of Rosie Lee,
  Along came a fellow, by the name of Charlie Mopps -
  And he invented a wonderful drink which he made from malt and hops.
The chorus is:
  He should have been an admiral, a sultan or a king,
  And to his praises we will always sing.
  Look what he's done for us - he's filled us up with cheer;
  God Bless Charlie Mopps - the man who invented beer (beer, beer, beer ...)
THere were many more verses to this - and I won't attempt to quote them all here - but it just goes to show the variations which abound in folk misic and drinking songs! Note especially the possible London bias in this version: "Rosie Lee" is, of course, Cockney rhyming slang for tea.
:There are other variations, I've heard "... and he made it out of hops" and "He ought to be an admiral, a sultan or a king".--RLent 04:38, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

message: When is this drinking song from? I'm having a lot of difficulty finding anything that confirms more than marginal notability, let alone a reliable history. Could someone provide a serious, reliable source?

thread_title:  Charlie who? 

message: I own The Clancy Brothers recording Irish Drinking Songs which contains this song. I've edited the entry to add this information (with a link to the allmusic entry) and tweak the lyrics a bit based on what I can hear listening to the song. I also moved the myspace reference to the bottom because it is somewhat irrelevant to the actual entry.

message: This page is more about the song than the man. In any case, the song is more notable. I think the article should be renamed "Beer, beer, beer." Any objections/opinions? A dullard (talk) 23:33, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The Bard's Tale (Video Game) uses this song in the first pub you visit and I was suprised it wasn't listed here.
