"Chug-a-Lug" is a song, released in 1964, by American country music artist Roger Miller.
The song is a humorous reminiscence of youthful encounters with homemade alcoholic beverages. The expression "chug-a-lug" refers to quickly downing a drink, and the lyrics describe the singer's reaction to the extra-strong liquor. Example: "I swallered it with a smile / (sound of swallowing) / I run ten mile! Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug / Makes you want to holler, 'Hi-dee-ho!' / Burns your tummy, don't ya know / Chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug."
[edit] Cover versions
A cover of the song was recorded on the Kentucky Headhunters' 2005 album Big Boss Man.
This song was re-worded and used for the theme of the Hey Hey It's Saturday segment Plucka Duck.
