B-side cover tunes that WORK!

[MouseRat]

Thinking b-side-type sexygrooverock, I submit the following:
Come to Poppa (Bob Seger)
Sexy MF (Prince)
Urgent (Foreigner)
Rock Steady (Bad Company)
Unskinny Bop (Poison)
Brown Sugar (Rolling Stones)
Candy's Room (Bruce Springsteen)
Let Me Put my Love into You (AC/DC)

 

[Sidewinder IV]

Led Zeppelin's Hey Hey What Can I Do was a B-side. Great tune, but not necessarily one that will get a crowd dancing.

I believe Prince's Erotic City was a b-side, too.

Good stuff so far.

Thanks for all the input guys! Keep the ideas coming. My wife came up with The Clash "The Magnificent Seven". Awesome groove, but would an American suburban bar crowd recognize it?

screw the recognition, that bass line's too cool NOT to do

 

[Alvaro Martín Gómez A.]

Here are some obscure tunes (or non-A sides, at least) that I really like:

 

[duff beer]

"Good Times" - INXS:

 

[Richland123]

This was a hit but sort of fell by the wayside since it came out.

Kenny Loggins and Steve Perry - Don't Fight It

 

[rust_preacher]

Fleetwood Mac: The Chain

 

[ulynch]

"Good Times" - INXS:

I was hoping to forget that song forever. Thanks.

Turns out, it's just corny enough, recognizeable enough, and danceable enough, it might just work. Dammit.

 

[Brick Top]

The Clash - Brand New Cadillac

L7 - Andres

Jace Everett - Bad Things

 

[CrewsControl]

The Police - Murder by Numbers (B-side to Every Breath You Take)
XTC - Jump (B-side to Wonderland)
Sparks - Barbecutie (B-side to This Town Ain't Big Enough For Both Of Us)

 

[Richland123]

Some hits you rarely hear anymore.

The Refreshments – Banditos

 

[JumboJack]

I have always thought "Backwater" by The Meat Puppets would be a cool one.

 

[drpepper]

I've wanted to play these

Tubes - Talk To Ya Later

 

[BWB]

Billy Preston's "Will It Go Round In Circles" - I am now on my 15th or so year of playing this song, almost no one plays it, it seems like everyone knows it and people dance their asses off.

 

[MonetBass]

I'd love to hear a band cover J. Geils Band's "Rage in the Cage", which was a B side to "Centerfold". Great song!

 

[Stranger Danger]

Knockin 'Round The Zoo (James Taylor)

 

[JumboJack]

Women

 

[Riverhead]

I have to second the nominations for:

The Cult - Lil' Devil, Love removal Machine, and Fire Woman.
David Lee Roth - Yankee Rose, Just Like Paradise.
L7 - Andres.
Midnight Oil - Truganini (but I don't know how it would go as far as getting people up to dance)

And I'd like to submit:

INXS - Stay Young

 

[TRichardsbass]

Anything from the Romantics first album except "What I Like About You.

"She's Just My Ex" by the All

Throw in some Nick Lowe.

And of course, my favorite song that Kenny Aaronson plays on. "Louie" by Brother Louie.
