Chumbawumba Challenge 

The chumbawumba challenge is a drinking game that originated at Indiana University that is named for the band Chumbawumba and their most famous song 'Tubthumping.' During the chorus of the song the band sings "you take a whiskey drink, you take a vodka drink, you take a lager drink, you take a cider drink"

Those attempting the challenge are to take all four drinks while the song is playing and are to finish all four before the song ends. Sounds simple but in actuality is quite difficult.

Ben: Fuck yes!

The Chumbawumba

Succession of drinks that is based upon the popular 90's song "Tubthumping (I get knocked down)" by the band Chumbawumba. Where one drinks first a shot of whisky, then a shot of vodka, then a lager (beer), and finally a drink of hard cider, in quick succession. This is taken directly from the lyric in the song " I drink a whisky drink, I drink a vodka drink, I drink a lager drink, I drink a cider drink. The Chumbawumba is always announced by the chanting "Chumba, Wumba, Chumba, Wumba!"
"Yo man have you seen John?"
"Yea he is passed out in the corner. He did the Chumbawumba earlier tonight.
