I know this is a bit of a thread drift, but it doesnt' deserve a thread to itself... Can someone explain to me why there are 'taboo' songs in clubs, which unofficially 'belong' to certain members? I can't get my head round why only one person (unless perhaps they wrote the thing themselves) is allowed to sing certain songs - because somehow through performing them repeatedly - they have laid claim to them? After all isn't it interesting to hear a variety of takes on some songs occasionally? And those that have such a fixed repertoire that they virtually 'own' certain songs, could surely learn a few more so that they are not repeating the same songs over and over again..
