When I hear the title of this Song, it makes me immediately think about how Iago gets Cassio drunk. The beer drinking would relate to Cassio getting drunk, and the hellraising would relate to Cassio fighting Montano. So this song could not be a more perfect match to this scene
Iago getting Cassio Drunk quotes

Beer Drinkers and Hellraisers – ZZ Top

▪
Cassio. Welcome,
Iago; we must to the watch.
▪
Iago. Not
this hour, lieutenant; 'tis not yet ten o' the
clock.
'Fore God, they have given me a rouse already.
I'll do't; but it dislikes me.
▪
Othello. What
is the matter here?
▪
Montano. 'Zounds,
I bleed still; I am hurt to the death.
[Faints]

If you see me walkin down the line
With my favrite honky tonk in mind,
Well, I'll be here around suppertime
With my can of dinner and a bunch of fine.
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Uh-huh-huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
The crowd gets loud when the band gets right,
Steel guitar cryin through the night.
Yeah, tryn to cover up the corner fight
But evrythings cool cause theys just tight.
Beer drinkers and hell raisers, yeah.
Huh, baby, don't you wanna come with me?
Ah, play it boy.
The joint was jumpin like a cat on hot tin.
Lord, I thought the floor was gonna give in.
Soundin a lot like a house congressional
Cause were experimental and professional.
Beer drinkers, hell raisers, yeah.
Well, baby, don't you wanna come with me?

[Faints]
Yeah, tryn to cover up the corner fight
- Montano. Nay, good lieutenant;
[Staying him]
I pray you, sir, hold your hand.
- Cassio. Let me go, sir,
Or I'll knock you o'er the mazzard.
Soundin a lot like a house congressional
- Cassio. A knave teach me my duty!
I'll beat the knave into a twiggen bottle.
- Roderigo. Beat me!
- Cassio. Dost thou prate, rogue?
To me I think these lyrics go perfect with this scene for Cassio getting drunk. I think that if Shakespeare was in our time period, he would have used this song when Cassio was fighting Montano in a movie. The line "The joint was jumpin like a cat on hot tin." matches up perfect when Montano gets stabbed.
