* Haddock and Franchise/{{Tintin}} start singing a Belgian song after they get drunk off wine-fumes in ''The Crab with the Golden Claws''.

This was such a recurring trope in old British comedies that anyone who was drunk sang ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afXli52dF-4 Nellie Dean]]'' and anyone singing ''Nellie Dean'' was drunk. It was useful cultural shorthand in the days before you could show a grown man pissing or puking in public.

See OdeToIntoxication for songs ''about'' getting drunk. Contrast OdeToSobriety... well, [[LyricalDissonance usually]].

* Hagrid and Professor Slughorn in ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheHalfBloodPrince'' get drunk after Aragog's funeral and sing a song called "Odo the Hero". Also in the film of the same name.

* Many Ealing comedies and similar, for example in ''The Bargee'', Harry H Corbett is able to get out of his girlfriend's bed before her large, violent father gets home from the pub because he's singing ''Nellie Dean'' loudly.

This was such a recurring trope in old British comedies that anyone who was drunk sang ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyKglXOymmc Nellie Dean]]'' and anyone singing ''Nellie Dean'' was drunk.

* [[Music/HidetoMatsumoto hide's]] solo song "Drink or Die." Also taken to the next level in that he was likely drunk most of the time he performed it, and sort of a FunnyAneurysmMoment / HarsherInHindsight in that alcohol would later be a part of why he did actually die.

* ''Series/Loki2021'': In "Lamentis", Sylvie awakes from a brief nap to find that Loki got drunk on champagne and is now singing loudly in a mixture of English and "Asgardian" (actually Old Norse) for the entertainment of the other passengers on the train. Sylvie isn't amused as they were supposed to be keeping a low profile as stowaways and his performance has drawn the guards' attention.
