Drinking Party Chant Collection: A One-Stop Introduction from Classics to the Hottest New Versions! (1–10)
A lariat for everyone who can’t drink.
This call-and-response starts with the cue shout “Gugu-tt!” and then fires off a string of humorous phrases.
The rhythm is steady, so even first-timers can quickly join in.
The content ranges widely—from classic drinking-party lines like “A lariat to everyone who can’t drink!” to completely off-the-wall words—so listeners can’t help but laugh.
Because it builds hype through verbal momentum and sound rather than overemphasizing alcohol, people who don’t drink can still participate just by shouting along.
Another perk is that the phrases are easily swapped out, letting you customize with the group’s inside jokes or current trends on the spot.
LOVE&JOY
Here’s a chant that uses Yuki Kimura’s 2000 track “LOVE & JOY,” which was also featured in Ayaman JAPAN’s song “Poi Poi Poi Popoi Poi Popi.” The lyrics are arranged, and lots of calls are packed into the instrumental section—making it a jam-packed chant.
It’s the kind of call that encourages someone you want to drink to have a bit more! But don’t force anyone to drink! Only try it with people who are up for it.
The rhythmical calls fit the melody perfectly and are memorable, so it’s sure to hype up the crowd!
Naughty Sun
A drinking-party call set to ORANGE RANGE’s “Ikenai Taiyo” can instantly boost the energy in the room by creatively tweaking the lyrics.
Singing the chorus letters in sequence or adding Korean for a unique twist will spark lively conversations.
Incorporating a drinking motion while singing helps everyone feel the group’s unity.
With a catchy melody and simple phrases, even people unfamiliar with calls can jump right in.
The simple rules leave plenty of freedom, making it easy to customize—another reason this call is highly recommended.
Believe
This one uses Folder5’s “Believe,” which became popular as the opening theme for the hit anime One Piece.
The bright, upbeat melody gets everyone hyped right from the intro.
While one person sings the lyrics as usual, the person next to them should jump in with call-and-response shouts at just the right moments.
Partway through the chorus, it switches to a drinking turn.
Play on the famous One Piece line “I’m going to become the Pirate King” by shouting, “〇〇 is going to become the Drinking King,” and start drinking.
Keep the energy up with various hype phrases like “Saikō!” (Awesome!) and “Agete ke!” (Raise it up!), and get everyone pumped!
I can’t stay a daydreaming girl
This is a call-and-response chant performed while singing Nanase Aikawa’s song “Yume Miru Shoujo ja Irarenai.” By taking advantage of the upbeat tempo and adding classic shouts like “Hai! Hai! Hai!”, the crowd’s energy builds.
From there, slightly more grown-up interjections are sprinkled in as accents, generating laughs and pushing the excitement to its peak.
Since the interjections are the main focus, it works even if you don’t remember the lyrics perfectly.
Momentum and vibe are key—the more everyone speaks up without holding back, the more hyped it gets.
Used with a feel for the room, this chant makes for a high-impact number.
Drank too much—destroyed!

Mimicking drinking motions in time with the lyrics and adding gestures like clutching your chest to show emotion will get laughs.
The more you lean into the overreaction, the warmer the atmosphere becomes.
Since the structure works whether or not you’re actually drinking, the appeal is that non-drinkers can also take center stage.
Anyone can join in once they learn the phrases, making it an easy, live-performance-style call that’s perfect for creating a highlight moment.

This is about playing Ai Otsuka’s “Sakuranbo” in the background to keep a party lively.
You’d pour drinks while adapting the lyrics into a fun, party-themed version, and then, at the chorus, everyone takes turns downing the drinks in their glasses.
The song’s upbeat vibe fits a party perfectly, and because it’s so well-known, everyone can tell when the chorus is coming—that’s the key.
Depending on the size of the glasses and the type of drink, it might be hard to finish in one go, so it’s important to adjust the song’s tempo or the amount of drink.
Keeping a reasonable pace and not overdoing it are crucial so everyone can have a great time.
