My sister has invited us back for my brother-in-law's 50th birthday party. We've been back at it with rehearsals, brushing up on last year's tunes, and adding a few new ones. Additionally, by BIL likes to play guitar and sing a little. I convinced him to join us for a couple songs of his choosing. It will be his first time performing in front of a crowd of any size.

Previous setlist:

• "Surrender", Cheap Trick
• "Take On Me", A-Ha
• "Hey-Ya", Outkast
• "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", Tears For Fears
• "Crazy Train", Ozzy
• "How Sweet It is", James Taylor
• "500 Miles", The Proclaimers
• "Me and Julio", Simon and Garfunkel
• "Good", Better Than Ezra
• Mashup: "Straight Up", Paula Abdul, and "Bye Bye Bye". NSYNC
• "The Breakup Song", Greg Kihn Band
• "Walk of Life", Dire Straits
• "We're Not Gonna Take It", Twisted Sister
• "Love Somebody Like You", Keith Urban

New Additions:

• "Happy Birthday", Weird Al Yankovic
• "What I Got", Sublime
• "Down Under", Met At Work
• Mashup: "Brain Stew", Green Day, and "25 or 6 to 4", Chicago
• "Fight For Your Right to Party", Beastie Boys, in the style of Johnny Cash
• "A Pirate Looks at [50]", Jimmy Buffet (BIL's choice)
• "The Authority Song", John Cougar (BIL's choice)

Possibilities, if we can work them up in time:

• "One Thing Leads to Another", the Fixx
• "Careless Whisper", George Michael
• "All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You", Heart. My BIL and I had a terrific, hilarious convo about how ridiculous this song is, and how it the story needs to be made into a feature film. I just may do it solo as a joke.

I'll try to get some video to share, this year.

Quite an eclectic mix of tunes

Something tells me you would have a helluva good time on the 80's cruise.

Following.

Your Paula Abdul/*NSYNC mashup reminds me of when my cousin use to perform a mashup of Ice Ice Baby and Fresh Prince of Bel Air. It was fantastic.

 

[FDLmold]

25 or 6 to 4, combined with Brain Stew? Who thought of that?

 

[Saoliver]

All I Wanna Do Is Make Love to You", Heart. My BIL and I had a terrific, hilarious convo about how ridiculous this song is, and how it the story needs to be made into a feature film. I just may do it solo as a joke.

Heart’s answer to Chevy Van?

 

[Beakertwang]

25 or 6 to 4, combined with Brain Stew? Who thought of that?

Me, I suppose. My son suggested “Brain Stew”, and the chord progression is the same in both songs. Just a slight change of the rhythm, and it’s done. We’re doing one verse of “25 or 6 to 4” in the middle, and going right back into Green Day. I play the horn part on my kazoo. The fans will go wild!

 

[Beakertwang]

Heart’s answer to Chevy Van?

Good lord, “Chevy Van” is terrible! I wasn’t familiar with that one.

I keep threatening to write two companion songs to “All I Wanna Do”—a typical hair-band rocker from the perspective of the young dude, and a pathetic soft rock ballad from the perspective of her sterile cuck of a husband.

We will be expecting footage from the 'concert' to be posted here

It will look more like this.

@Beakertwang Have you had the concert yet??? I thought we'd see footage from a 4th of July concert or some such!

Yeah, the birthday party was about a month ago. We had a great show. I'll try to get a decent video to show, but since I didn't take any video, that may be difficult.
