Tik Tok by Kesha is featured in Blame It on the Alcohol, the fourteenth episode of Season Two. It is sung by Brittany with Artie, Mercedes, and the New Directions singing backup vocals.
The New Directions are asked by Principal Figgins to perform a song at the assembly for Alcohol Awareness Week. The New Directions perform this song while hungover after a party the previous Saturday night. On top of this, they each have a swig of Rachel's improvised "mixed drink" just before they go on stage. During the song, Brittany tells Rachel that she is feeling sick. Rachel encourages her to "power through it."
Unfortunately, Brittany throws up on Rachel while on stage, which is followed by Santana also throwing up. Principal Figgins later applauds the "special effects" during this performance for the fact that no McKinley students showed up to school intoxicated the day following the assembly and gives the New Directions prizes.
Lyrics[]
Brittany:
Wake up in the morning,
Feelin' like P. Diddy (Artie: Hey, what up, girl?)
Grab my glasses,
I'm out the door,
I'm gonna hit this city (Artie: Let's go!)
Before I leave,
Brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night,
I ain't coming back
Brittany (with New Directions):
I'm talking pedicure on our (toes, toes)
Tryin' on all our (clothes, clothes)
Boys blowing up our (phones, phones)
Drop-topping, playing our favorite (CD's)
Pulling up to the (parties)
Trying to get a little bit tipsy
Brittany with New Directions:
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up

Unless they look like Mick Jagger
Brittany (with New Directions):
I'm talking about everybody getting (crunk, crunk)
Boys trying to touch my (junk, junk)
Gonna smack him if he getting too (drunk, drunk)
