True enough, Australia's The Angels' 'Marseilles' doesn't have the words "whisky" or "whiskey" in the title. The song has our protagonist asking for the (stereo)typical lifestyle of one who is in the rock and roll milieu. And in this ode to said, one of the accessories to said lifestyle, as per the demand in the lyrics: "Gimme the sound of the rolling dice. Gimme a whiskey, don't think twice. " Not that at Dram Straight we eschew this particular lifestyle; however, this song seems to be aimed at those who lean towards
Hunter S. Thompson words: “I hate to advocate alcohol but it's always worked for me.” Just an FYI, France does make some tasty whiskies. Oi!
