10 Songs You're Guaranteed To Hear In Every Bar, Ever

MCA / Rockfield

Certain things in this world are an absolute certainty; you can't wear white after Labor Day, nobody likes the tax man, and you're always going to hear absurdly loud music when drinking at a bar, usually played by a tone-deaf white dude with an acoustic guitar. In particular, these 10 songs seem to be on every bar's perpetual playlist.

If I hear one more douchebag with an acoustic guitar playing "Wonderwall" I'm gonna lose my mind.

It's not a night out unless a group of girls are shrieking along to "Livin' On A Prayer."

Or a bunch of drunken morons ruining Journey's "Don't Stop Believing."

Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" is played so often by random dudes in bars that I honestly had to look up who it was originally by.

The songs get even more ridiculous from here...

Fun fact: "Closing Time" is actually about a birth, not about getting kicked out of a bar.

Def Leppard's "Pour Some Sugar On Me" never fails to liven up a crowd, especially ones that were teens in the 80s...

Even if you're not in a country bar, you're almost guaranteed to hear Garth Brooks's "Friends In Low Places."

Does anyone actually still like Skynyrd's "Sweet Home Alabama" outside of Alabama?

Pretty sure I can recite AC/DC's "You Shook My All Night Long" despite never hearing it outside of a bar.

If I never hear "Home For A Rest" again it'll be too damn soon.

What song did bars ruin for you?

After starring in a few of the biggest movies of the the late 80s and early 90s, Alex Winter seemed to vanish from the big screen. The Lost Boys came out in 1987, and it was absolutely amazing. Just two years later he returned in the comedy classic Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, where he was playing Bill S. Preston Esq., and going on the trip of a lifetime. Warner Bros. He followed it up by coming back for the sequel, Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, but after that, he realized he wanted more. Winter wanted to be a bigger part of

Tom Selleck Talks About The "Ghost" On The Set Of 'Three Men And A Baby'

Three Men and a Baby was a classic film for many reasons. We saw Tom Selleck as someone other than Thomas Magnum, we saw Steve Guttenberg outside of the Police Academy world, and we caught Ted Danson away from the Cheers set. The movie won a People's Choice Award for "Best Comedy Motion Picture," and 31 years later it still holds up. Guttenberg was notably absent in Hollywood after the film came out, taking a step away from fame. “You gotta remember, I left home at 17. So I missed a great deal of my own growing up,” he told

8 Movie Sequels You Probably Didn't Even Know Existed

Sometimes sequels are highly anticipated (you know which ones you like), and sometimes sequels happen for no reason, and you never end up hearing about them until you magically find a $2 copy of one in the bargain bin at your local discount store. These unknown sequels are almost universally always terrible. Movies so bad it makes you wonder who even thought this was a good idea, and then decided to pay people to make the movies. Mind-boggling. Not all of them are terrible, but the good ones are few and far between. Let's take a look at 8 sequels
