ceilidhswinger Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Can anybody out there think of a good song that would sit alongside Sweet Home Alabama in a medley? Only one I can think of is Steve Millers "Joker" its not same tempo but same feel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevB Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) How about this - it's quicker than SHA but fits the pattern reasonably well; [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ugLwXlpJi6o[/media] Edited May 30, 2012 by KevB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Dave Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 (edited) [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1338374729' post='1673396'] Werewolves of London maybe? [/quote] 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 !'.

Brilliant track and thankfully a little under covered I think. I kinda agree with ChrisB to, do WoL in place of it, but then sweet home is a popular track and will go down well.

chris_b Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 The audience reaction to SHA is universal. How can a song be that popular? We sometimes play Werewolves but unfortunately it doesn't generate the same reaction. We're a cover band so you can guess which number we play on every gig!! I wish I was in a position to take my own advice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
