If given the opportunity to lead an inebriated crowd in a fun song to sing in front of a live band... the songs I would sing would be on this list:

  • three dog night - jeremiah was a bullfrog
  • otis day - shout
  • gloria gaynor - i will survive
  • the kingsmen - louie louie
  • elton john - tiny dancer
  • chumbawumba - tub thumping
  • fountains of wayne - stacy's mom
  • beatles - twist and shout

Lately I've just wanted to veg out and make some music. I think it'd be so nice to just jam out with a cool band to some oldies. In any case, trying to channel my inner musician by going back to my original musical love, the wonderful piano. I've set a general repertoire and a rough date that I want to get these songs polished up by. Then what? I don't know.

Currently listening to: The Foundations - Build me up buttercup
Currently feeling: worried

that's a bit too depressing for me. or rather, i feel like a song like that could tip a gregarious drunken crowd into a slightly angry drunken crowd.

it's a good thing you're not my friend in real life or you'd have to endure me singing these songs in real life to you... live.

i'm not sure which is the formal title (you're probably right), but no one confuses this song with the christmas hymn if i call it "jeremiah was a bullfrog."
