BassTractor Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) [quote name='ceilidhswinger' timestamp='1338374622' post='1673394'] sit alongside Sweet Home Alabama in a medley?[/quote] Don't know about where the line goes for you guys, but in my own ears you could easily get some Kinks or Jethro Tull to sit well, and you could go back and forth between them as a form for segue. First songs to come to my mind are Jethro Tull's "Hymn 43" and "Up to Me" (both off Aqualung), but you could even pull it off doing stuff with "Lola" by The Kinks - if you wished, that is.

In that case, just forget these examples. Edited May 30, 2012 by BassTractor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeynuts Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Off the top of my head would the start of the SHA riff not blend in with the beginning of Times Like These by the Foo's? Both great pub songs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuNkShUi Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 We used to mix it with "dance with me" by Dizzee Rascal. Very unexpected so used to go down quite well!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceilidhswinger Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 [quote name='Dr.Dave' timestamp='1338378721' post='1673491'] Been doing this for the last 3 years. I do a verse and chorus of 'Werewolves' - Rod does a verse or two of Kid Rock then we fire into the Sweet Home Alabhama' chorus. Few bars of solo - quiet bit with a spoken gag about the williams getting their lighters out - back into a couple of loud SHA's - big rock ending - williams go mental - home for tea and medals. We've noticed it's the only thing we do that gets the blokes up to dance before the women. I introduce it as the 'dead peoples song'. Usual line is - ' Warren Zevon's dead - Lynyrd Skynyrd smacked their plane into a big f**k off mountain - dead - ...Kid Rock.......... he's not dead but he's shitting himself !'. [/quote] Ha ha! I like it Dr Dave, well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ceilidhswinger Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 What's become apparent in this thread is there's a lot of old hippies out there, thanks to all who got back with suggestions.(SOME CRAZY ONES TOO! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!) I agree with Funkshui Dizzee Rascal does work but I cant see me doin no rapping bruv! Luv Monkeynuts input of [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Times Like These by the Foo's? even like Glen Campbells take on it.[/font][/color] Think I will go for Bill Withers Lovely Day in the end. Thanks again folks Calum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
