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.NEW!
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.
BelieveNEW!
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!
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.
presentNEW!
This one uses JITTERIN’JINN’s 1990 track “Present.” The song is characterized by lyrics that list the gifts received from a boyfriend.
First, sing along to the original, and after each line about what gift you got, add a shout like “Hey!” You can change the lyrics to your boyfriend’s or girlfriend’s name, or swap in gifts you actually received—both are fine! Then, once the chorus hits, go all-in with the calls and hype up the people who are drinking.
There’s a bit of a game element to this call: if someone can’t keep the rhythm or messes up a name, they might have to drink again or be out!
Nishiyama Daddy DaddyNEW!
The key to this call is to combine distinctive movements with the energetic phrase, “Nishiyama Daddy Daddy Dosukoi Wasshoi People People Nishiyama Daddy Daddy!” Moving your body in sync with the chant naturally draws in the audience and rapidly ramps up the excitement in the room.
Because the structure repeats a name, it’s easy to adapt—just replace “Nishiyama” with another name—making it perfect for spotlighting a main figure.
Since it centers on shouting and movement, even people who aren’t drinking can join in easily, creating a strong sense of unity.
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!
FANTASTIC BABYNEW!
This is a high-energy call-and-response that rides the momentum of BIGBANG’s song “FANTASTIC BABY,” pushing through as a parody sing-along.
You sing along to the music while weaving in playful wordplay that riffs on the original lyrics.
Part of the fun is that even if things get a bit chaotic, it still works as “that kind of vibe.” The content is intentionally exaggerated, and the many points open to playful critique add to the humor.
The singers lead, and everyone else can just join with claps and interjections to get the crowd going.
It’s more about momentum than perfection, so you don’t need to be a great singer.
This call has real punch and is perfect for the finale when you want to crank the energy up all at once.
