What is your most fun song to play?

[Bad Bob]

What is that one song on your set list that you can't wait to get to - the one that is the most fun and you never get tired of, even after 75 or more gigs a year?
Mine is Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody, the David Lee Roth version with Willie Weeks, (though the original by Louis Prima was pretty solid).
The bass part is a tasty mix of walking and blues patterns. Not overly challenging, but being in the key of G# keeps it interesting. The crowd response was always terrific.
What is that one song for you?

I like "The Middle" a lot. Easy and fun and people like it.
I like "Piece of Mind" (Boston) as it's a great bass line,

 

[Gustopher]

Gimme Three Steps - Skynyrd. It's just fun and we play it a little up tempo so the crowd really likes it. Runner up would be Can't Get Enough - Bad Company

 

[ELG60]

It varies by what I'm into at the moment. Right now I've been on a LRB kick and enjoyed learning "Meanwhile", and "Reminiscing" but I always enjoy playing "Isn't She Lovely", and "I Wish".

I started to relearn the DLR version yesterday but didn't have the time to study it. I have a new setlist to learn so I may not get back to it for a while, but it has a nice swing to it. (The tribulations of being a hired gun)

[WI Short Scaler]

My favorites to play:

I Want You Back
Oh What a Night
On a Boat that Day

 

[Dabndug]

I always enjoy playing "Isn't She Lovely", and "I Wish".

Stevie all the way. I'd add Sir Duke, Signed Sealed Delivered, and For Once in My Life.

Don't Get Me Wrong - The Pretenders
Fascination Street - The Cure

@ELG60 - I second "I Wish" -- so much fun to play.

Other one I really enjoy is "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding."

[Thumpin6string]

I don't gig and this is usually not the type of music I play, but a fun bass line.

 

[Jev1]

Rock and Roll Outlaw - Rose Tattoo (although when we play it it more closely resembles the Nashville Pussy version)
