First of all, Irish whiskey and rye whiskey are two different things. I'd expect a cultured man of the world such as yourself to know that. Secondly, while the drinking in an Irish pub is a safe assumption to make, it has no bearing on this case.
Another hint: I obviously know that the studio versions of Little Wing and Teach Your Children are by Derek and the Dominos and CSNY, respectively. So why would I change the artist names?
Very deep, but not what I was going for.
Here's a hint: If you've paid close attention to certain announcements I've made over the years you may figure out what ties all these songs together.
