SIB Audio: 99 Bottles Of Beer
Back

On the way home from the strand one night, Peta, Kirstin and Nassi began to sing the "99 Bottles Of Beer" song.  Usually you would give up at around 90 bottles, but once we got past 70 it was clear that there was no giving up this time!

We sang through the song again the next night while driving to the strand, only this time we brought the tape recorder along.

So here on Stop It Boys for your enjoyment is our rendition of the classic drinking song.  Pay particular attention to the 88th bottle, as Kirstin   mistakes it for 87.  And I think there is another stuff-up at around the 40 or 30 mark (I can't quite remember exactly and I haven't yet re-listened to the whole thing to confirm this).  The last 10 bottles make for good listening cause they were sung with excitement.  And if the verses sound a little jumbed, that's because Kirstin and Nassi were singing "Take one down, pass it around" and Peta was singing "If one should fall, fuck them all."  All things aside, though, I think we did a pretty bloody good job.
