every song doesn't have to be that serious. I am the last guy you would call a pop fan but this song just makes me laugh and bounce. Quit taking yourselves so seriously! |

Too bad. I guess I'll have to get one of my other bands to do it. But instead for the Christmas party we are doing this: Quote:

This was funny. It could be adapted to electric with effects.

So, definitely worth learning.

I think I've copped the bass line (such as it is) but don't know what else a 2-guitar, bass and drums band can do to get anywhere close to the recorded version. Thoughts or suggestions?
BTW we are also going to play "Call Me Maybe" (first time) on the same gig. I tried to talk my BL into just playing these two songs as break music but he wants us to give them a go live. So I guess my degradation from semi-legit semi-pro musician to shameless pop whore is complete.  | Do you pay your bills and put food on the table as a bass player? If so, then you gotta do what you gotta do. If not, then I would tell the BL to bite me and he can play that garbage if he wants to.
I dont understand ever playing something that makes me feel that awful. You had it right, the word is whore.

If you are a "Rock" band and folks come out to see/hear a Rock band, it does help, more than hurt the song. Quote:
