I'll just mention that Coca-cola and lemon soda can be appropriate blues drinks (when served with a fair amount of double entendre): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pP8imLfnR8s

I remembered where I first heard that song -- which was when I saw John Miller (who I mentioned earlier) in concert.

This Charley Jordan recording from 1931 reminds me of Leadbelly and Robert Johnson. I’m going to take some time soon to check this John Miller a bit more in depth. Thanks for the tip.

Thanks. I think he's mostly a teacher (you can find a bunch of instructional videos on youtube), but I know of one album of his which is really good: https://www.amazon.com/This-Old-Hammer-John-Miller/dp/B001G9FD74/

Proving there's no shortage of blues parodies out there, Martin Mull gives us "The Ukulele Blues":

Yep. Hilarious. I’m surprised they both didn’t mysteriously disappear afterwards…
