Introduction
Have you ever had one of those nights that starts with a few innocent drinks and somehow ends with you belting out your favorite song at the karaoke bar, even though you know you can’t carry a tune? “Too Drunk To Karaoke” by Toby Keith and Jimmy Buffett captures that wild, carefree spirit perfectly. This fun, rollicking duet is a love letter to all those nights where the line between confidence and overconfidence gets delightfully blurred.
This song is a delightful blend of Keith’s country roots and Buffett’s laid-back, tropical vibe. It’s the kind of tune that makes you want to grab a drink, pull up a chair, and just enjoy the ride. The playful lyrics tell the story of someone who’s had a few too many but still feels like the life of the party—until they get up to sing, that is. It’s relatable, it’s funny, and it’s got that infectious energy that makes you want to join in the fun.
What makes “Too Drunk To Karaoke” special is how it brings together two music legends who both know a thing or two about living life to the fullest. Toby Keith’s robust, country twang paired with Jimmy Buffett’s easygoing, beachy vibe creates a song that’s impossible not to enjoy. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best nights are the ones where you let go of your inhibitions and just have a good time, no matter how off-key your singing might be.
So, next time you find yourself at a karaoke bar, remember the wise words of Keith and Buffett: it’s all about having fun. Whether you’re hitting the high notes or just making everyone laugh, it’s the spirit and the laughter that matter most. Cheers to the nights we barely remember with friends we’ll never forget!

Lyrics
Too drunk
Too drunk
Last night at the bar it was karaoke night
Yeah, everybody down there was feeling alright
They got big margarita pitchers, two for one
Yum, yum!
They were feeling footloose and ready for some fun
When I signed up, I was ready to go
But they didn’t call my name for an hour or so
Damn if they didn’t make me wait too long
I was in no kinda shape to sing a Jon Bon’s song
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke
If you keep on drinking, you’re gonna be
Too drunk to karaoke, just like me
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke
Well, the place got rocking, temptation was strong
All the pretty girls kept a eggin’ me on
Well, I shoulda kept my flip flops glued to the chair
But no, I jumped right up and slicked back my hair
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke
You can sing in the shower ’til you sound real good
You can terrorize the whole damn neighborhood
But when you hit that stage with that mic in your hand
You better pace yourself, son, if you wanna have fans
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke
Play it, boys
If you ask me, hell, I killed that song
When I looked around, everybody was gone
Except a couple of bouncers ’bout half my age
They grabbed the microphone and threw me off the stage
You’re too drunk to karaoke
That’s what they told me
You’re too drunk to karaoke
How can that be?
You don’t have to be good, don’t have to be refined
You just have to be a legend in your own mind
Don’t have to rehearse, or even sing on key
Just prove that theory of drunketivity
Too drunk to karaoke
Too drunk to karaoke (look at me)
You’re too drunk to karaoke (just like me)
Too drunk to karaoke (fuck that)
That’s what I’m talkin’ about
