Camp fire songs

They say when you are around the campfire the guy with the accoustic guitar is the most popular. So what are your top 5 favorite camping songs? Or songs you just love to sing around the campfire? Our number one song is always Hotel California by the Eagles. I do not know why it just is. How about you?

When I was little mom and dad picked the songs we sung. Like Old Susanna and She Will Be Coming Around The Mountain, and Roy Roger songs. As I got older we mostly had someone along that played the guitar and if we sung at all it was a silly made-up affair where everyone added to a song making it up as we went along.
Usually we would all start laughing and then the scary ghost or bear stories would be told. By the time it was bedtime we were too scared to sleep. every little noise was something that was coming after us. Oh to be young again. lol

Here's one I remember from my camping childhood,

Dirty old Bill
Lives on top of Garbage Hill
Never washes, never will
Dirty old Bill!

Dirty Pete, Dirty Pete
Always smells like rotten meat
Cannot stand to wash his feet
Dirty Pete!

Dirty Tess, Dirty Tess,
Never washed a singletress
Her hair was such a total mess
Dirty Tess!

Dirty Luke, Dirty Luke
Never showered, the filthy kook
Stunk so bad it made you puke
Dirty Luke!

Best shouted as well as sung! haha :D
 
I always sing the Spongebob campfire campfire song. It is a classic! After that, a lot of country/folk songs. And if we really want to party, we do some popular pop songs. Does anyone bring instruments with them?

The SpongeBob theme song, or is there another one I don't know about? I have to admit, its been a while since I've watched SpongeBob.
