I gotta go with "To Be With You", esp. if you're the only one singing it and you do both the lead and backup vox by yourself.

"I'm the one that wants to I'm the fucking one bay-beh
Deep inside I hope you Hope You fucking feel it nah nah now yeah
Waited all my life to Wait all this motherfucking time now baby..."

"More Than Words" is one of the most beautiful songs ever recorded in the 20th century.

― jack cole (jackcole), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm pretty sure that "To Be With You" would annoy me more. I don't really care for "More Than Words," but at least the harmonies in that one are kind of appealing.

― Matthew Perpetua (Matthew Perpetua), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you'll find it's called "Just To Be The Next To Be With You".

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Whatever. You know what I meant. I just didn't feel like typing the whole mootherfucker out.

Let's give Nick Southhall a hand, everybody.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:49 (twenty-two years ago)

You can't go truncating song titles when you're dealing with genius of this level, Helltime. People get upset.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Nick,

You actually lose ILM points by trainspotting Mr. Big songs.

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:51 (twenty-two years ago)

Surely this is not possible? I just downloaded the fucker and everything!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:53 (twenty-two years ago)

in that case, who am I to say?

― Nihilist Pop Star (mjt), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Robert Smith?

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:56 (twenty-two years ago)

You're right, I'm sorry. Now that I've read the lyrics, I realize that it kinda does deserve thatparagraph of a title that Mr. Big gave it.

"Feel it too, baby!"

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 30 November 2003 00:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn right. Some thought went into it.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Queensryche, "Silent Lucidity"

― jaymc (jaymc), Sunday, 30 November 2003 01:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Nice one, well played. I had completely wiped Queensryche from my memory banks.

― Helltime Producto (Pavlik), Sunday, 30 November 2003 03:47 (twenty-two years ago)

"under the bridge"

― chad (chad), Sunday, 30 November 2003 03:50 (twenty-two years ago)

i bought the mr. big cassingle, AND i have sung along to it on a balcony while someone else played it on a guitar. i don't remember extreme

― cinniblount (James Blount), Sunday, 30 November 2003 06:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Goddamnit, I had managed to completely forget that that Mr. Big song ever existed...

― Blood and sparkles (bloodandsparkles), Sunday, 30 November 2003 07:45 (twenty-two years ago)

"To Be With You" is outstanding.

― billstevejim, Sunday, 30 November 2003 08:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I had the Mr Big cassingle too. And "Blame It On The Boogie" by Big Fun. I didn't know it was a Jackson 5 tune till I was about 16.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 09:25 (twenty-two years ago)

"Everything Hurts" and "House of the Rising Sun" are great. Just sit in the corner and play the arpeggios over and over again until peoples head's explode.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 30 November 2003 10:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I think you'll find it's called "Everybody- NO, no, no, I will not do this...

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Sunday, 30 November 2003 11:26 (twenty-two years ago)

How did "Everything" get in there? Hmm, there's a ghost in the machine.

― Johnney B (Johnney B), Sunday, 30 November 2003 13:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Playing Fall songs on an acoustic guitar at a party, classic or CLASSIC!

― dave q, Sunday, 30 November 2003 13:07 (twenty-two years ago)

Have just busked in a street in anyang, seoul performing 'crazy in love' fr some ecstatic koreans...

i'm drunk.

― Brian from Seoul, Sunday, 30 November 2003 16:24 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha I've totally sung "Frenz" to someone with an acoustic guitar once!

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 30 November 2003 18:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Why has no one mentioned "Blister In The Sun?"

(perhaps I'm dating myself)

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Sunday, 30 November 2003 18:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd suggest "Horse with No Name" by America or simply the fiddly bit in the intro to Yes' "Roundabout" over and over and over and over and over again.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 30 November 2003 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

i love the Mr Big song. i think it came out at roughly the same time as Arrested Development's Tennessee. and both songs got me into music.

― lid, Sunday, 30 November 2003 20:38 (twenty-two years ago)

I only had "Get the Funk Out" on cassingle, but I must get some Extreme

Anyway, Warrant "I Saw Red"

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 30 November 2003 20:41 (twenty-two years ago)

haha anybody other than me planning to make "Hey Ya" their new acoustic guitar serenade perennial?

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Sunday, 30 November 2003 20:50 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd imagine most Puddle Of Mudd songs can be done badly on an acoustic guitar.

― William Bloody Swygart (mrswygart), Sunday, 30 November 2003 20:58 (twenty-two years ago)

"Bridge Over Troubled Waters" by simon and garfunkel

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Monday, 1 December 2003 00:37 (twenty-two years ago)

"Mother" by Pink Floyd

― weather!ngda1eson, Monday, 1 December 2003 03:19 (twenty-two years ago)

No, "Under the Bridge" does own this thread, because it's capoed, and the way the opening notes go seem to invite "No... I've got this one. Ah shit, let me start again" idiocy.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 1 December 2003 03:29 (twenty-two years ago)

*plink**plink**plink*
"Oh, wait wait..."
*plink**plink**plink*
"Hang on..."

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 1 December 2003 03:55 (twenty-two years ago)

"More Than Words" = Chris Bell's "You & Your Sister"

― Chuck Tatum (Chuck Tatum), Monday, 1 December 2003 16:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Either that or that "If I only had a brain" loop track like Beavis did.

― Spinktor the Unmerciful (mawill5), Monday, 1 December 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Top annoying tip:- play the lead off Wonderful Tonight but play the very last note a semitone higher than you should. Then do it again.

Or:- Get two of you and both play the Sweet Child O'Mine riff, but one fret apart from each other. Dreadful noise.

― Lynskey (Lynskey), Monday, 1 December 2003 16:57 (twenty-two years ago)

If you've got an acoustic guitar and a room full of people to annoy, give 4-Non Blondes' "What's Up?" a go.

Or, if you're playing to a room containing one coked-up assclown, play Outkast's "Hey Ya!" slightly out of tune. Especially if his name is Pat. Proven by science.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 1 December 2003 18:15 (twenty-two years ago)

"To Be With You" is absolutely awful while "More Than Words" is kind of nice. So, no doubt, "To Be With You" is the most annoying one.

― Geir Hongro (GeirHong), Monday, 1 December 2003 21:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Put on a big Dave Matthews (/muppet/donkey??) voice and rip into "Crash Into Me"!

― Jole (Jole), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 05:10 (twenty-two years ago)

If I wanted to get booed away from a cosy campfire with my guitar, I'd chose none of the above songs, but rather:
'Hotel California'
'Knocking On Heaven's Door' (in the G'n'R version: "Ai,ai - hai,hai,hai!")
and
'Stairway To Heaven'.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Tuesday, 2 December 2003 11:51 (twenty-two years ago)

eight years pass...

Amazing:

"Sometimes I think, how the hell did you get that?" says Eric Martin, vocalist for Mr. Big, which once released a record shaped like an electric drill that Japan's collectors still prize. (Mr. Big's guitarist Paul Gilbert used a drill to play his instrument on the group's 1991 single, which now costs $13 online.)
A few years ago, Sony Corp.'s Japanese music arm convinced Mr. Martin, a Bay Area local, to sing famous pop ballads by Japanese women. The resulting album, 2008's "Mr. Vocalist," sold around 200,000 copies, turning him into an idol in Japan.
In October, he plans to fly to Tokyo to promote his next record, "Mr. Rock Vocalist." Mr. Martin owes a great debt to Japan, he says, but still smarts when rock-singer friends mention the "Vocalist" moniker. "That's a major teasing factor," he says.
