Deep Thought Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 [quote name='silverfoxnik' post='354023' date='Dec 14 2008, 02:26 AM']We do a song called 'How To Save a Life' which is the theme tune to some US medical drama but I haven't a clue which band did it originaly?[/quote] The Fray. It was in Grey's Anatomy. It was a massive hit pretty much Worldwide. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Not obscure but unusual as a cover - "Music" by John Miles. Used to do "Fireball XL5" with one band (which was actually a white soul originals band, it was just one of those things that happens sometimes), have suggested we do it with the current one.

Gman Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 We used to do Big Spender with a male singer (he didn't change any of the words so it ended up sounding dead camp). Currently the most obscure song is 'Love it when you call' by The Feeling - a tricky little one to get all the bvox right and play that riff at the same time.

Anyway this well to do guy gets up and asks to sing a song. He sounded really professional and we were wondering what it was that he was going to sing. It was Fireball XL5. I play in a wedding/function band so we play a wide variety of music but there are a couple of songs that you'd expect from a pub band but not a wedding band. they are: The Fratellis - Chelsea Dagger The Jam - Town Called Malice Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire We have been known to play the odd Glen Miller medley where the average age of the audience is over 70. Very handy since I played in a big band for a few years Edited December 21, 2008 by Delberthot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
