WHAT SONGS SHOULD TEDDY SING?
« on: March 01, 2008, 11:24:45 PM »
Ted asked me to ask you what songs he should play. He's already got a couple surprises lined up, but now's the time to make your suggestions!

So make them in this thread!

Thanks.

Tom.

An acoustic "Sons of Cain" would be awesome.

Anything by Husker Du. or "Fine Brown Frame" by Lou Rawls
If we heard mortar shells, we'd curse more in our songs and cut down on our guitar solos. (minutemen)

Carry on my Wayward Son by Kansas
Breakfast- I'm havin' a time
Wheelies- I'm havin' a time
Headlocks- I'm havin' a time
Drunk Tank- not so much a time
George St.- I'm havin' a time
Brenda- I'm havin' a time
Bingo- I'm havin' a time
House Arrest- I'm still havin' a time

At heart, I'm a classic rock dummy:

People, Let's Stop the War - Grand Funk Railroad
What's Next to the Moon -AC/DC
Is It My Body - Alice Cooper
Victoria - The Kinks (he could be clever and medley it with Army Bound, which is obviously descended from this song)
It Came Out of the Sky - CCR
The Reason - Thunderclap Newman

I'll probably go into the wee hours.

I would love to hear him do his take on the Wire theme, "Way Down in the Hole."

Would a Tom Waits cover even be allowed?

Speaking of Wire, I think Teddy could do a nice version of either Reuters or Dot Dash.

Wowza!

"Thank You For the Music," ABBA
"Big Take Over," Bad Brains
"Thirteen," Big Star
Anything by The Clean
"Lodi," CCR
If he has a female accompanist/backup, "Contort Yourself," James White and the Blacks
"Gonna Never Have to Die," GBV
"Nutbush City Limits," Ike & Tina
"Living for the City," Stevie Wonder
"I Want to Take You Higher," Sly & The Family Stone
"Towering Infernos," The Green Arrows
"Don't Thank Me Baby, Thank Yourself," Betty Wright (incidentally, my response to Tom's thank you for my pledge - and it should be everyone's)
"Dick Clark," The Great Plains
"Kill A Dead Eagle," Old Skull
"Lightning," The Sea and Cake
"The Question is How Fast," Superchunk
"Over, Under, Sideways, Down," The Yardbirds

And I vote for the prior suggestions:

Victoria - The Kinks (he could be clever and medley it with Army Bound, which is obviously descended from this song)

Black Coffee

Thin Lizzy, "Waiting for an Alibi". Also "Chain Fight Tonight".
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.
