Fun
FrankieHeck 🤓5:53 · 2022-07-03T13:38:48.760Z
Well this put me in a good mood this morning. The TMBG/A.V. Club version is also fun! I admit that I first googled "90s songs about drinking," and based on the title I was convinced that it was going to be "Friends in Low Places." Did a quick grid search for Ross and Joey ;-)
Qmark 5s · 2022-07-03T13:48:52.128Z
Nice one, Will!
I K Snamhcok 1s · 2022-07-03T14:27:21.029Z
“Gin and Juice” came to mind first. But as soon as I saw “incorrect”, I thought, “Oh, wait, what was that ‘Danny Boy’ song?”
Bird Lives 11s · 2022-07-03T14:52:45.469Z
A big hit of the 90s was "The Band Played On," which begins
"Casey would waltz with a strawberry blonde," and contains this reference to drinking:
"His brain was so loaded it nearly exploded;
The poor girl would shake with alarm."
I'm not sure why this was not an acceptable answer.
The title is a reference to the lyrics "They are never gonna keep me down" and the alcohol drinks Whiskey, Vodka, Lager, Cider are specified in the refrain in grid order. (I did a google search for "songs of the 90s alcoholic beverages" and got about 27 different songs so just being about alcohol is not enough).
DrTom 22s · 2022-07-04T17:49:27.999Z
Yes but it had a happy ending because "he married the girl with the strawberry curl and the band played on"
Byron 🤓10:14 · 2022-07-03T14:51:16.761Z
I knew the answer from the title and prompt alone. Now it'll be in my head all day.
THC 🤓4:49 · 2022-07-03T15:19:51.401Z
Since I'm a baby boomer, I had to do some research on this one! Thanks, Will, for getting me out of my comfort zone!
oldjudge 3s · 2022-07-03T16:04:44.146Z
I looked 1990 song titles with two word drinks. I found Rico Suave and Champagne Supernova, both of which are both drinks and are both wrong. I had never heard of the song and for me was certainly not a week one.
KayW 10:33 · 2022-07-03T17:19:20.887Z
Google was needed but to my complete surprise it's a song I've heard! LOL just never heard (or remembered, anyway) that part of the lyrics.
Katiedid 🤓7:36 · 2022-07-03T17:58:50.133Z
I have never heard the song before, but it came right up when I googled the main words from each themer.
woozy 🤓13:16 · 2022-07-03T18:08:59.948Z
No worries. If you drink all the drinks in the grid, I don't think anything is going to be able to keep them down.
Cindy Heisler 2s · 2022-07-03T22:03:58.306Z
I have never heard this song. Thank goodness for Google.
ReB 6s · 2022-07-03T22:22:44.945Z
After a bit of trying to overly complicate matters, I decided to just google for a song containing the four alcohol items (whiskey, vodka, lager, cider) and bingo!
woozy 🤓13:16 · 2022-07-03T23:41:03.600Z
Oh...... I never thought of that. I google songs from the 90s about alcohol, got a list of about 20 songs. Thought about the lyrics and "Don't let them keep you down" => "I get knocked down, I get up again" => bingo.
Sfull411 🤓6:55 · 2022-07-03T23:05:04.808Z

Toast 🤓12:56 · 2022-07-03T22:46:19.447Z
Reminds me of https://crosswordfiend.com/2014/08/10/muller-monthly-music-meta-august-2/ ...
Or, actually, not that, but someone else's version of that same song's theme, probably later, where they clued one of the ingredients as SEAN CONNERY and the other as, I think, King LOUIS XIV.... Feels like either a WSJ or a Gaffney (or both...) but I now can't for the life of me find that puzzle. Anyone else remember?
For a moment I thought this would be about synonymous slightly off phrases. I wanted GINNtonic, amberALE, mulledWINE, SHOPkeeper. But not today, rabbit, not today.
The comments here indicate that ease of solution highly depended on one's intuition (or luck) in the choice of search terms - and secondarily on knowledge of 90s songs.
Bbaack 15:23 · 2022-07-04T14:18:11.155Z
Aargh! A one-hit wonder with an earwig song! Sadly, I do remember the tune. Anyway, fun meta and a well-done grid. Thanks!
Finally, a meta that didn't knock me down! Broke a losing streak. Thanks!
DrTom 22s · 2022-07-04T17:52:23.458Z
Oh, and BirdLives...I think Will meant the 1990's not the 1890's.
DrTom 22s · 2022-07-04T17:42:42.468Z
I looked at the puzzle and initially got down...but then I got up again! Thanks Will, interesting fill for me because I made some wrong assumptions, but it all worked out in the end. Think I'll celebrate with a drink.

If you want to know more about the band behind this particular earworm, here's a Todd In The Shadows "One Hit Wonderland" episode on the topic:

This is too funny - I was playing D&D yesterday with my daughter (she's 34, I'm ... older than 34 - I played D&D in the 1980s), and my character got KO'd and revived, then KO'd and revived, and again. And I found this song on my phone and started playing it while the character was still KO'd (#3) and another player said "is that what's going through Torque's mind while he's unconscious?" and I confirmed it was ...
David Higgins 🤓16:58 · 2022-07-05T03:32:57.537Z
great song to be reminded of!

Burakodrama 2s · 2022-07-07T03:39:31.783Z
This was the meta answer to the one and only puzzle I've ever (co-)constructed so I immediately saw what was coming ahah.
