Thread Name: Bad song choices at a gig
Subject: RE: Bad song choices at a gig
Both of these actually at singarounds as opposed to gigs.
I've written a song called "Jehovah's Windows" about a JW who doubles up as a double glazing salesman. When I did the song at a club, it seemed to go down OK, so I repeated it at the session a month later, whereupon the organiser politely requested that I did not repeat it again. It turned out that the organiser and his wife were JWs - the chances of that must surely have been greater than a faikrly large lottery win!
I've also done a song about people who have posh voices and go fox hunting which has the line:"I've got no chin, I've got no brain, but I'm a mighty, mighty mayern, with a four legg-ed friend and a double barrelled name." - it turned out the organiser had a double barrellled name and his dad was master of the local hunt!
I actually subsequently became good friends with all the above people.
