Trivia/Info
- From "A Song-By-Song Drive-Through Of Mink Car with John and John":
This song is the voice of one boozer pleading with another to keep their scene together: "I'll take back my pinata, it's wasted on you / just spinning that pool cue all over the room / and give back the blindfold that's under your shoe."
- John Linnell on the song in a 2002 interview with Westzeit: "'Drink!' isn't a drinking song; it's about people who have a problem with that."
- In live performances, the audience is often asked to shout "Drink! Drink!" back (usually split in two and instructed to shout successively) after each time the word "drink" is sung. In some cases, the show is set up intervention-style, and the audience is asked to shout back "No, wait!" after each time "drink" is sung, as seen here.
