99 Bottles, by Jeff

99 bottles of beer on the wall,
99 bottles of beer,
Take one down, pass it around,
98 bottles of beer on the wall.

98 bottles of beer on the wall,
98 bottles of beer,
Take down another, it’s for your brother,
97 bottles of beer on the wall.

97 bottles of beer on the wall,
97 bottles of beer,
You’re given the tab, but don’t have the cash,
97 bottles of beer on the wall.

97 bottles of beer on the wall,
97 bottles of beer,
You try to run and steal six more for fun,
91 bottles of beer on the wall.

91 bottles of beer on the wall,
91 bottles of beer,
The boss cracks your spud with a bottle of Bud,
90 bottles of beer on the wall.

90 bottles of beer on the wall,
90 bottles of beer,
A brawl begins, beers become weapons,
74 bottles of beer on the wall.

74 bottles of beer on the wall,
74 bottles of beer,
Lower shelves collapse, the bar takes a beer bath,
32 bottles of beer on the wall.

32 bottles of beer on the wall,
32 bottles of beer,
You spark a lighter, the bar gets much brighter
32 bottles of beer on the wall.

32 bottles of beer on the wall,
32 bottles of beer,
The flames creep higher, time to retire,
32 bottles of beer on the wall.

32 bottles of beer on the wall,
32 bottles of beer,
With a huge crash, the walls all collapse,
No more bottles of beer on the wall.

No more bottles of beer on the wall,
No more bottles of beer,
You stumble next door, where there’s 99 more,
99 bottles of beer on the wall.

This makes me laugh, too. Not only is it a unique take on "countdown" (from my perspective), it's a nice reworking of the 99 bottles of beer song which, like many, many, many songs has not much sense on its own.
