Old College Beer Drinking Songs

Are any of you old enough to remember the song "Ivan Skavinsky Skavar"? (1920s)

Its a fictional story about a proud Russian and a macho Turk who insulted each other and decided to settle it by fighting to the death in a sword battle that lasted all night.

Here's a version with guitar accompaniment. There are other versions with more detailed rhymes.

 

College drinking songs.....I gotta think for a minute.

Some versions included this verse:

"The Ladies all loved him, his rivals were few,
He could drink them all under the bar!
In fact, quite the Cream of the Muscovite Team
Was Ivan Skavinsky Skavar!"
