Double Bass Songs suggestions for acoustic pop trio

[Mister Cbass]

Hello,

I play electric bass in a trio ( rock/alternative)
We are working on a acoustic set.
We compose our own music and songs, so we have converted them in an acoustic version.
60% of the songs works well, but we don't enough song for a set of 1hour.
We will compose new only acoustic in the future.
We need some popular for our next gigs and venues.

I need some suggestion of popular songs that could work with a trio, guitar, double bass, drums or percussion.
The original song must not be acoustic of course, but it must work nice acoustic too.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Have a nice weekend

Good Riddance (Time of Your Life) by Green Day seems to make people happy.

My band specializes in acoustic pop arrangements. We might get some ideas from our videos.

You can do a lot with Big Yellow Taxi, with male or female vocals.

I play in a wedding band. Some songs that go over ALWAYS, and I think might make interesting acoustic tunes:

Shut Up And Dance
Africa
Valerie
Ain't No Mountain
Mr. Brightside
Semi Charmed Life
I Got A Feeling (Black Eyed Peas)
Sweet Child O' Mine
Shout
Johnny B. Good

A couple of the ones that I'm dumbfounded still go over...

Living On A Prayer
Don't Stop Believing
Sweet Ca.... No. Forget it.
Blister in Sun
WAP

I was kidding about the last one .

Just apply a little imagination and you never know what little gem you might come up with.

Low Rider, I Feel Good, Sympathy for the Devil, Locomotive Breath are perennial favorites.

Nice pop tune with double bass: I scare myself - Thomas Dolby. And have a listen to bands with DB like The Wood Brothers and Bare Naked Ladies, you could do something with their material.

I tend to think that most things can be translated, if you have the musical concept.

Here's a band local-to-me covering Vanilla Ice acoustically.

In their live shows, they also do a medley of nineties hip-hop. Double bass, percussion, guitar, vocals. The lead singer knows how to own a crowd, and the audience loses their composure.

Dua Lipa's got some banging neo disco tunes that might go over on acoustic.
