I work with a guy who is a cittern and bouzouki fanatic and is really into Breton music. I've been tweaking him lately by playing a Breton tune on the cittern to suck him in and then switching to bad pop hits from the 60s and 70s. So far I've hit him with "Spooky", "I'm a Believer", "Your Song", "Different Drum", and "Get Back". Oddly, they all work reasonably well.

Oh, and my wife and I have done "Joshua Fit the Battle" as a hurdy-gurdy and accordion duet a couple of times. At gigs we were getting paid for, too . . . .
