Drunk Men's Choir: A Boozy Spin on Royalty-Free Music for Creators

Published January 14, 2024

Guess the unique twist of the Drunk Men's Choir? If you thought 'intoxication,' you've hit the nail on the head. Enter DougDoug, a YouTuber recognized for his experiments with AI, who now champions the cause of small creators embroiled in battles with YouTube's Content ID system. He's rolling out royalty-free tracks, open for all to use.

A Musical Gambit

DougDoug's approach is quite unorthodox: he performs covers of well-known hits at the peak of inebriation. Through this, the songs become blurry and slurred, slipping past detection software with their garbled tunes. It's an intentional move, ensuring content creators can use the music without fear of copyright strikes.

All for a Good Cause

While the primary aim is to assist those creating content, the performances of the Drunk Men's Choir might just as well stir emotions for the sheer novelty of it. Take their patriotic, yet sodden, version of The Star-Spangled Banner—it's an experience that's as American as it gets, blending nationalism with high spirits. For those making videos, it's an unconventional resource worth trying, and for others, it's a humorous sing-along.

More Than Just Music

In addition to reinventing music consumption, the market continually evolves with products and challenges that revolve around alcohol. From 'pre-alcohol' drinks designed to prevent hangovers, like ZBiotics, to fans turning sports celebrations into drinking games with feats like the 68,888 Jell-O shots at the College World Series. States like Wisconsin even contemplate laws allowing minors to serve alcohol, provided certain conditions are met. Amidst these waves of culture and controversy, the Drunk Men's Choir sails on, offering a spirited refuge through their melodies.
