After posting my query for "Love Potion number nine" I was wondering what songs you do just for fun. At Ren. Fairs & living history events we often do "Wild Thing" just cause it don't belong there at all. just curious

Steve Goodman did a great medley of "dead teenager songs." I'm not sure which ones he did, but here are some I like: "Dead Man's Curve," "Leader of the Pack (click for tune)," "Tell Laura I Love Her," and, best of all, Last Kiss.

What's the one about the guy who returns his dates's sweater to her parents, only to learn the girl died years ago?

Dead teenager songs For Fun? Geeze why don't you go ahead & do "The Little Girl & the Dreadful Snake" or "Bringing Mary Home"?
I was sorta looking for something a bit lighter. Sometimes I do a rap version of "Oh Suzzana"

Oh, look! As I was hunting up links to add to Tiger's list, I came across this Dead Teenager Website.
The Steve Goodman dead teenager medley included The Steve Goodman Anthology (No Big Surprise) also has recordings of Steve singing "The Auctioneer," "It's a Sin to Tell a Lie," and a parody of "Don't Let the Stars Get In your Eyes." Most of Steve's own songs are good for lightening things up - a favorite of mine is Vegematic.

We throw in The Who's "Pinball Wizard", sung to the tune of "Folsom Prison Blues" at Irish pubs.
