waynepunkdude Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 [quote name='markstuk' timestamp='1332764810' post='1592684'] I presume if we intro any of the songs as "this is our post-modern ironic take on this" we'd get away with it... ?

Mykesbass Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 [quote name='seashell' timestamp='1332763928' post='1592657'] Can't wait for that! This has got me trying to think of songs about hideous industrial accidents. The only one I can come up with is 'Big Bad John' ...I suppose there are several others about mining disasters as well. But they might all be a bit too PC for this thread. [/quote] "John Henry" - silly bugg3r blew his heart out trying to compete with a steam driven machine laying railway tracks.

burgundymouse Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 I was in a band that cut the second verse of Money for Nothing (faggots in earrings and make up) but we did a storming rendition of Immigrant Song about the Viking Hordes being your overlords.

lurksalot Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 (edited) One song that troubles me that we do ( very well ,as it happens ) is Poisons , Every Rose has its Thorn ...... I have to say that having recently done some research, I have planted a Zephrine Drouhin and can categorically state that it is a climbing rose which has no thorns I am worried that one day our fans will see right through us , should we put a disclaimer at the start of the set stating that the opinions of the songwriters do not necessarily reflect the the views of the band Having said that, I really think that they SHOULD fear the reaper Edited March 26, 2012 by lurksalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Horses for courses and know you audience/venue. As an old folkie I probably know more questionable songs than most but there is a time and place to sing, for example, "Fields of Athenrey" and it's NOT in most pubs in Govan! I still have nightmares about a Paddy's Day gig where the audience split 50/50 Catholic/Protestant. Fortunately there was chicken wire across the front of the stage!

WHUFC BASS Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 [quote name='Gust0o' timestamp='1332762967' post='1592638'] If so, we have enough suggestions in this thread for a 10-minute set - how shall we fill the other 50? [/quote] Do what my singer's old band did back in the early 80s when they were booked for a 40 minute slot at the Skunx Club in Islington. They only had three songs so he came up with the brilliant plan of starting a fight after the third song. It worked like a charm and there was a full scale riot in the place with the police being called. Gig was cancelled and they got away with their credibility (partially) intact.
