Wicked gets my vote. Alas, my band covers Tommy

I would quit any band that wanted to do that song. Yuck.

 

[Michedelic]

[Grinderman]

 

[Jeff Scott]

I'd go with the latter because Jimi!

 

[fishdreams]

And it's happy follow up

 

[Carl Hillman]

Wilson Pickett, Duck Dunn, Al Jackson, Jr. Steve Cropper, & Isaac Hayes FTW.

...every day and twice on Sunday

 

[Bix]

Also rather like 853-5937 by Squeeze ..



But it's still 634-5789 for the win.

Anyone in Cincinnati knows to call Blake Maislin if you need a lawyer.

They're both OK songs, but I played in band for a while with one of "those" guitar players and Jenny, Jenny was one of his favorites. That pretty much left a bad taste on that tune... So my pick would be numero dos, unless 25 or 6 to 4 is a candidate and it would be a close tie, hard to beat Wilson Pickett.

Back in 1982 I was a senior in high school and played in a band in the Gainesville, Florida area. We were playing a gig downtown at Lillian's Music store. A great hometown bar that I'm pretty sure is still kickin'. Tommy Tutone was playing at a college bar down the block and when we got done I walked down hoping to hear maybe the last part of their show. To my surprise there was hardly anybody left in the bar when I got there and the band was still playing. What I heard sounded tight! Some really good stuff. Anyway, i stood up front near the stage, I think the only one. Anyway I knew they had already played the song surely but one of the guitar players asked me if I wanted to hear it. I said "absolutely". And they played it. Just for me. So that's gonna be my vote.

Wilson for the win!

Fun fact: When I tried to click my selection in the poll, my phone asked me if I wanted it to dial that number.

 

[Snibborwocky]

As much as I love 80's nostalgia, Wilson Pickett is da man.

 

[Pyrat]

66-5-4-3-2-1 by the Troggs (or the Hypsterz) is the song...but don't leave me Hangin' on the Telephone (by the Nerves)...

 

[GodsLove66]

777-9311 for me!

I personally prefer the WP tune by a wide margin.

But, the TT tune wins by a wide margin for gigging in the clubs; because it qualifies for the completely worn out / known by everyone category.
