== Deconstructed [[Ode to Intoxication]] Ode to Sobriety ==
* [http://youtu.be/ohf52vAPszM "I Want To Be Straight"] by Ian Dury And The Blockheads—could be this, could be parody.
* [http://youtu.be/GpEOmZTYA4A "The High Cost Of Living"] by Jamey Johnson.
* [http://youtu.be/HBWFJ85n_w0 "Sunday Morning Coming Down"] by Kris Kristofferson and [[Johnny Cash]].
* [http://youtu.be/F8UYGQeavRw "Kickstart My Heart"] by [[Motley Crue]]. Also a classic example of [[Lyrical Dissonance]]—it's about Nikki Sixx's near-death via OD.
** Speaking of Nikki Sixx, just about every song in the album Heroin Diaries from his side project SIXX: AM is this. To be expected, however, because it is all about his heroine addiction and recovery during the 80's.
* [http://youtu.be/nJ3ZM8FDBlg "Sober"] by [[
* [http://youtu.be/WSdze_yYeKc "Wine Into Water"] by T. Graham Brown.
* [http://youtu.be/-gwUtEEjZJ8 "The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me!)"] by [[Tom Waits]].
* [http://youtu.be/paMzF1lnwGg "Wasted"] by [[Carrie Underwood]].
* [http://youtu.be/ejV8eGY_emA "For The Love Of A daughter"] by Demi Lovato, about her biological fathers alcoholism pleading with him to "put the bottle down, for the love of a daughter"
* "Drinking Song" by Moxy Früvous. It actually starts out seeming like [[Ode to Intoxication|the exact opposite]], describing fond memories of hanging around the house and getting drunk with a close friend. Then the tone of the lyrics gradually starts getting darker, and it turns out the friend in question drank himself to death one day, which caused the narrator to quit.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5kAJOSCyTB0 "Alcohol"] by [[Barenaked Ladies]]. It similarly starts sounding like an [[Ode to Intoxication]], until the POV character's intense self-loathing takes the forefront.
