Hi,

I think this one is pretty obscure, and one of my favs that we do, "Home Sweet Home" by The Farm. I wish I had a decent performance of it.



You might like this one better because of the eye candy.



It sounds a little better on our promo video but there's only about a minute of it.




Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

We do Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da by The Beatles and Laid by James. May not be the most obscure, but I don't see a ton of bands doing them. Hell I didn't even see a Beatles cover band do Ob-La-Di.

EYE CANDY FOR THE WIN!!
Laid was one of the first songs i sang live with my friend's band before the became the Austin super star cover band.

One of my bands is a rockabilly band, so pretty much all of our covers are obscure.

Obscure:

Not obscure but mostly forgotten:

To tell ya how old this song is, the beginning of the song has a snippet of the current president speaking,
Lyndon B. Johnson
