One Song to Save the World...

If you’re going to win over a crowd, you have to play something they’re familiar with; space aliens would already know this one...

I would have said Play That Funky Music, but one night we were playing a gig and working as hard as we could to get people on the dance floor. With the exception of one to three couples getting up every now and then - nothing. Then somebody suggested Wonderful Tonight. We started the song, I looked up from my drum kit (I was playing drums back then) and the dance floor was PACKED. I guess the crowd was in a romantic mood that night.

The aliens have landed, want to dance, and they've given you the Ultimate Ultimatum: Play one song to fill the dance floor or they blow up the world!

What song are you gonna play?

(I've done almost nothing but stay at home, go on Facebook and TalkBass, and work from home like a dog since mid-March. No gigs. Two rehearsals. Figured I'd throw this out there for some fun.)

The answer is obvious. "Let's Dance" by David Bowie.
