One Song

Sign in to disble this ad
Hello all. I have gathered a quartet of talented musicians
(myself included)

for one special occasion.

We're all Seniors in high school
and would like to play at ourschool's Variety Show

Unfortunately, we can only have one song
to audition and perform with.

We have all agreed to play an upbeat rock song
(think Any Way You Want It, except not)

Any ideas?

depends on your singer's range and instrument setup...

I would suggest straying away from writing an original, as it usually takes too much time to work out the kinks.

Stick with something classic that people would know, but rather give it your own twist.

What I like about you by the.. **** I forgot the band haha.

Very upbeat and a classic for cover bands. I'd like to think bar bands made the song more popular then the actual band did.

anyone who's seen Talladega Nights knows it can be upbeat if you do it right
