Most "embarrassing" song.....

[Lexy Bivens]

That was t for a gig/band or w/e, but for no valid reason other thanthan the one in your head, what's the song you probably don't want to admit you learned.
Most recent the better! (c'mom it'll help me feel better about all the junk I'm playing due to where I am, that I HATE, but is helping this or that, and then some that are just downright silly cause I am downright silly)

I'm working on covering Katy Perry's "Roar" for my ladyfriend's granddaughter. sheesh... (Just the instrumentals, I'll let her do the singing)

BL just told me the bride wants us to play 'Those were the days'. Horrible pseudo klezmer that I think is about a suicide pact. I'm hoping we can sub that one out to an accordian player.

That's for a gig, doesn't count.
You learned for YOU (or some other reason non band/gig related)

When I played Top 40/Disco in the 70's I played a lot of embarrassing songs. Maybe the worst was Saturday Night by the Bay City Rollers. The only saving grace in that song is that it is SO corny that we used to crack up every time we played it. The Audience LOVED it and would sing along.

BTW I heard the GROSSEST song either DURING a wedding, or was 1st dance GREAT song, but omg I wanted to gag.
To Sir With Love.

(I walked down the aisle to the Imperial Death March)

I've been playing that Metal song by Tenacious D.
That's not the embarrassing part.
It's if my husband knew how half the smart house works ... And knew where the spare camera was

I can't HELP but channel my inner JB.

Which puts me in a fit of giggles after when I realized I did it AGAIN

If you were doing this for art, you probably wouldn't be in a wedding band. So, that means you are likely doing it for money.
Can you imagine if you asked a plumber to hook up a garbage disposal to your kitchen sink and he refused to do it because it violated is artistic integrity?
I've done a lot of Listerine songs (you hate them but you do them twice a day). Not fun, but it pays the bills.

Learn the Cream song instead. BL is bound to be impressed!

 

[Lexy Bivens]

It's Al's not about suicide, and it's a beautiful song. It IS depressing though, but what folk music isn't?

And c'mon.
I DON'T WANT TO CLEAN.
So gimme something to chuckle at. (Odds are, I've got it on a playlist though)

That Cream song is a masterpiece!

Bringing Home a Baby Bumble Bee

I learned it for my oldest daughter when she was a baby. (She's 9 now.)

Now I use it on stage as a lesson to guitar players who take too long to tune. If there is silence for more than about 5 seconds I break out some Bumble Bee and play it until they are done tuning.

Anything slow or obscure and loses the audience's attention/dance floor.

Lovefool by The Cardigans. It's that, "love me, love me", song from the mid- or late-1990's. It was one of the songs I had to learn when I did some pick ups for a local cover band several years ago. Playing that song felt almost insulting to my manhood.

Please - that dumpster fire of a tune is NOT pseudo-klezmer. pseudo-polka maybe. ugh.

I play along with ABBA videos, because everybody in my band hates them.

Makes ME lose MY manhood.

I was the right demographic I for it, LOATHED that song think

I PURPOSELY am learning 7 ABBA songs because on my birthday, I made my husband watch. Mamma. Mia, which I don't Care for it much, not jukebox musicals. but because I COUKD. And he haS NO IDEA when I walk around quoting Priscilla Queen of the Dessert (No More F, ****** ABBA! )
