Excellent. Consider it stolen.

I hope you all like this next song cause if you don't we'll play it again.

The only "auto pilot" line we use is if we really mangled the song. We always make the comment that it was a "live version" and jump into the next song fast before they can think about it too much.

No Dead Air...

"We've received a couple of requests". The first; "No, we're not leaving town", and second; "I don't think a guitar would fit there".

A couple more of my favorites

We are going to take the stage tonight. We hear it's leaving town at 10:00 p.m.

We do take requests. We don't play any of them, we just take them.

My old drummer, who had a moderate stuttering impairment would occasionaly hurl this one (and a handful of change) at a dead crowd; "here's some #$% quarters now go play the $%^ jukebox!" He was also good for the occasional "If you ain't got it, clap!"

Another favorite is "Hi, how y'all doin? If ya don't like us then we're the Dixie Chicks. Hit our website and let us have it. Otherwise we're (insert band name here)."

"Kindly write your requests on $20 bills and pass them to the stage."

"this next song is a Coldplay song from 1964". We play an instrumental version of viva la vida.

Sometimes we play Pipepline (one of the most over played instrumentals) and "that was an original!"
