Thread Name: Songs NOT to sing in nursing homes!
Subject: Songs NOT to sing in nursing homes!
OK, youse guys! I wasn't gonna start this thread 'cause it seemed kinda in poor taste (at least if you take it seriously). But that recent thread on Changing Song Titles For Aging Audiences proves that Mudcatters don't always let that be an impediment to their fun, so here goes.

Some songs don't HAVE to have their titles changed for senior populations -- it's just that the songs may take on new meaning or relevance!

For example, when you are doing a gig at a nursing home, you might want to steer clear of:

Try To Remember
Don't Fence Me In
Dry Bones
I Almost Lost My Mind
Urge For Goin'

and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

Got any to add to the list?
