Title: HELP ME PICK OUT MY HOOF AND MOUTH SONG!
Post by: Tom Scharpling on February 01, 2009, 10:35:58 PM: Hello all -

Every year I do a song with WFMU's Hoof And Mouth Orchestra at the conclusion of the 2009 marathon. I am having a hard time picking one this year.

The song needs to meet the following criteria:

1) Rocking.

2) Long-ish.

3) Epic.

4) Can translate well to a karaoke type band situation.

5) No ballads.

Past selections have included:

Born To Run
A Quick One While He's Away
Paradise By the Dashboard Light
Paradise City
LA Woman
Magic Carpet Ride

Please list your selections ASAP right here!

Thanks!

Tom.

Wait. Is "power ballad" a subset of "ballad?" If so, then change my recommendation to a seconding of Dan B's "Jet" recommendation.

Too Many People or Monkberry Moon Delight from Ram
The Red Rose Speedway Medley
Call Me Back Again from Venus & Mars

Others:
Moonage Daydream
Life On Mars?
House of the Rising Sun
Hair of the Dog
Funk #49
White Light/White Heat

Post by: buffcoat on February 02, 2009, 12:03:42 PM: Looking through Itunes for songs that fit the bill:

"Great Expectations" KISS/Simmons

"Station to Station" Bowie (The retuuuuuurn of the Thin White Duke, throwing daarts in lovers' eyes)

Err... "Love to Love You Baby" Donna Summer. Perhaps not appropriate, but definitely a long song.

Post by: Wes on February 02, 2009, 02:35:01 PM: If Tom somehow thinks he can't hack it and passes on Goin' Down, my backup dream choice would be a number by a fellow Morton Downey Jr. enthusiast, Rowdy Roddy Piper's 1985 smash hit "For Everybody":

[youtube]2coSFnI5R5A[/youtube]

If there's a song with lyrics that better sum up the attitude of post-New Regime Best Show, either I haven't heard it or it wasn't recorded by an actor/singer/professional wrestler.

Post by: masterofsparks on March 10, 2009, 06:33:52 AM: Sunday night. Check the FMU site for exact start times, but I'd guess around 7 or 8.

Post by: Tom Scharpling on March 14, 2009, 02:21:48 AM: This takes place Sunday night at Maxwell's in Hoboken. It's a public event, so people can come on down and check it out!

I go on toward the late side of things. Here is WFMU's description of the event:

WFMU's 2009 Marathon Finale with the Hoof & Mouth Sinfonia
Sunday, March 15th, 7pm - 1am
on Live Broadcasts and Special Events
For the 9th year running, WFMU caps off its annual fundraising marathon with the one thing that never gets old: LIVE BAND KARAOKE! Tune in to hear upwards of 40 of your fave FMU jocks belting out the songs in their hearts as though they'd been on a 2-week bender and forgot their were mics on. Join us for the fun at Maxwell's in Hoboken, 1039 Washington St. Admission is $5 (proceeds go to WFMU) until the joint is packed.

It should be good. I'll be practicing all weekend.

And if you're there PLEASE come up to me and say hi.

Thanks!

Tom.

Hilarious!

"He can have all the magazine covers he wants!!!"

I think that, and ...

"Do you have anything to say about this, McG?"

... are the two greatest quotes of 2009.

If past years are any indications, videos of the performances will start showing up in the WFMU blog in the next few weeks.
