Then I realized it was just the SONG. *Snore*

I watched Wayne's World the other day, and I couldn't figure out why they made a big deal of Stairway to Heaven, when you couldn't even tell what it was supposed to be. |

Can't seem to play anywhere without someone yelling Freebird (though I do dig the live version) or Stairway. It is fun to start off with a couple measures of these songs then change tunes.  |

Thank you! |

But you know what I'd like to ban?
Mustang Sally. Mustang-Freakin'-Sally. I hate that song. We always have to play it because the women wanna dance to it. Arrrggghhhh!
I hate that song in every key I've ever played it in. And every key I haven't, too.
Oh, and my singer wants to do "Why Don't You Stay". That song moves me to violence, but the silly girls love it because its soooooo saaaaaaad, the poooooor woman. They keep asking her to sing it, so...I'm stuck having to learn this song that is sympathetic to a slut who is trying to take someone else's man. So all the girls can go "Awwwwww!" and request the he11 out of the stupid song.
Sorry...ranting...

Let's ban, instead, any and all songs by Sugarland, Faith Hill, Shania Twain, and all those other girly new-"country" songs. (This dreck ain't real country. Its just dreck.) They make me want to hurt someone.
Let's also ban that HORRIBLE "country" duet by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow. Those two should have been tied to very-busy railroad tracks for recording that awful thing.
And now every drunk woman in a bar wants our drummer and singer to perform it. Which means I'll have to play that crap.

Cherie | I'll see your "Mustang Sally" and raise you with "Brown Eyed Girl" [==shudders==]. Can't walk down Bourbon street any night of the week without hearing both!
But there's the key: recognizable to a fault and women dance to it.
BTW, There should be a very large tip jar "cover charge" for any requests of this ilk. (hee, hee)

Cherie | Oh, a big +1 to that, Cherie! 
I hated the Bob Seeger version, and hated the Kenny Rogers/Sheena Easton remake even more. I will never understand why people want to hear sad songs/watch sad movies when they are out for entertainment, supposedly to have a "good time."
I mean, come on; enough sad things will happen in everyone's life without them having to go look for more.
Back to Danny Boy: I'm glad this guy banned it from his bar.
If you've ever been in an Irish bar in NYC on St. Patrick's Day when this song comes on, almost all conversation comes to a screeching halt, partly because some people get wet-eyed, and partly because the others feel they're at a funeral, and must be respectful. 
BOO, Danny Boy! I won't miss you!
