What song should I butcher?!?! I only have a keyboard and a bunch of random non-instruments...I can't read music, either.

if you have no guitars, please just dont do this

I actually have a guitar, but as stated above, I can't read music (=I can't really do difficult covers).

And I'm trying to be funny, not amazing. I don't know CCR much at all...(this is preceding a screening of the Big Lebowski)

"Quarterback Shuffle"

you could do some good improvisation based on the guitar riff in green river and i bet it's not too hard to figure out

sing the chorus from "bad moon rising" as "there's a bathroom on the right" and watch as people either laugh or throw rotten vegetables at you.

"Pagan Baby"

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

its basically a one chord vamp

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 21:44 (eighteen years ago)

WAIT. Would it be funnier if I covered an Eagles song?

Tape Store, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 21:45 (eighteen years ago)

"Sad Moon Rising"

(and I like the "Pagan Baby" song...I'm going to see if I can start off with that and that give up halfway through and just play an Eagles song)

Tape Store, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

Eagles cover should be "Disco Strangler"

complete with "disco strangler dance move" if possible.

Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 21:53 (eighteen years ago)

Chameleon has some nice chords

calstars, Tuesday, 24 April 2007 22:00 (eighteen years ago)

Do "Commotion" at a grumbling crawl a la Barkmarket's version of "Back Stabbers."

Mark G, Wednesday, 25 April 2007 09:02 (eighteen years ago)

"Keep On Chooglin'" = one chord for nine minutes or so
