About Me
The cliché "Wine, women, and song" is a rhetorical figure of a triad or hendiatris. Similar tripartite mottoes have existed for a long time in many languages, e.g.:Danish - "Vin, kvinder og sang" (wine, women and song), also "Øl, fisse og hornmusik" (beer, a slang word for female genitals, and horn music), also "Tjald og lal og lir" (slang words for cannabis, fooling around, and being sexually aroused);
German - "Wein, Weib und Gesang" (wine, women and song);
Swedish - "Vin, kvinnor och sång" (wine, women and song);
Turkish - "At, Avrat, Silah" (Horse, women, gun);
India - "Kabab, Sharab aur Shabab" (meat, wine and women/beauty);
Bengali/Hindi/Sanskrit - "Sur, Sura, Sundari" (music, wine and woman);
Polish - "Wino, kobiety i spiew" (wine, women and song);
"Sex and Drugs and Rock and Roll" is a modern variation of it. In the 20th Century, particularly in Western usage, the expression "drugs, sex and rock and roll" often is used to signify essentially the same thing. The terms correspond to wine, women and song with edgier and updated vices. The term came to prominence in the sixties as rock and roll music, opulant and intensely public lifestyles, as well as liberal morals championed by hippies, came into the mainstream.
