Admit it – you sang “99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall” as a kid to annoy your parents… and probably stopped around 87 bottles because you were bored.  “99 Bottles… ”  is based on the English song “Ten Green Bottles”.  So what does this mean?  Apparently Americans are drunks and overachievers since they added 89 additional verses.  Cheers!

Ten Green Bottle Lyrics:

Ten green bottles
Hanging on the wall
Ten green bottles
Hanging on the wall
And if one green bottle
Should accidentally fall
There’ll be nine green bottles
Hanging on the wall

ect.
