Who's got some good Birthday schtick in their set?

[mboogiemanusa]

This primarily goes out to the cover bands?
My cover band is looking for ideas for birthdays beside playing "Birthday" by the Beatles if possible.
I just saw another cover band murder that song for someone's birthday......it was obvious that they had not rehearsed that song in a few years..... if ever.

Who has some got some good birthday schtick in their act?

Ha my birthday was yesterday!

Jus' sayin...

Sing the Happy Birthday song as a blues tune or whatever style your audience prefers,

I usually go with Nick the lounge singer.

NOFX birthday song

Just sing the birthday song, and change the last line to "we hope you get laid". That's always good for a laugh.

We do the traditional Happy Birthday song as a polka with modified lyrics:

Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday dear "Lisa"
Happy Birthday to you

Hope you get some tonight
Hope you get some tonight
Hope you get some cool presents
Hope you get some tonight!

And end it with Shave and a Hair Cut

 

[nutdog]

Hope you get some tonight
Hope you get some tonight
Hope you get some cool presents
Hope you get some tonight!

Will probably steal this without giving you any credit.

I like this one. We did it last week, minus the "old b@stard" comments.

We do Birthday by The Beatles, but we do a good job at it and it always goes over well. I know that's not helpful at all, but I figured I'd say what we did.

Have fun. I wish I could take credit for thinking it up.
