It's how MUCH I like them that embarrasses me:
All Star by Smash Mouth
Gimme 3 Steps by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf
Margaritaville by Jimmy Buffet
Everybody else I have ever played with can't stand any of these.

You know, I'm getting some ideas of songs to add.

"Private Idaho." I really love banging on that one string. And getting out of the state that I'm in.
I read the title of this thread and realized that I need to go download a bunch of Barry Manilow.
Kiss by Prince. Crowd always seems to like it...I can't stand playing that song.
Liam you are not alone...I love playing it too and there are a lot of good covers of it. But, just to be clear, I have never and will never wear a meat dress.
Add Funhouse by Pink to my list too, as well as quite a few songs from Andrew Lloyd Weber musicals.
Man, these songs are pretty cool compared to some of the stuff I like playing. I think some of the bass lines in Gordon Lightfoot songs are just killer. Love playing them.
If I'm really feeling saucy, I fire up the Doobies "It Keeps You Runnin'". Love that bass intro. If I had an old Casio keyboard I could play the entire intro:

"I Saw the Light" - Hank Williams.
I hate country music but this is so darn fun to play with root 5ths and walkups and walkdowns. Plus, people have to clap their hand and stomp their feet.
