While working enertainment at a bar I've become accustomed to making people enjoy their time as WELL as slagging off people. Somedays when it's quiet people over run the jukebox and play certain songs to death.
I'm asking users to submit the songs you know that are most UNLIKE the sound that a band is known for.
I started this habit after one fella kept playing Nuge ALL THE TIME. .. and rarely anything but stranglehold.
I hope you catch on and submit nice suggestions
Here's an example.
"A guy gets riled up about talking about his favorite band and says MAN I WANNA HEAR SOME ****** !!!
well. ..I hit the jukebox and play possibly the band's worst song OR song least like their signature sound
1. TED NUGENT - YOU MAKE ME FEEL RIGHT AT HOME
2. Pink Floyd. . - several species of small furry animals ...
3. Duran Duran - last day on earth
4. PRINCE - Tambourine/had u
5. Black Sabbath - Orchid/Fluff
6. Beatles - revolution #9
7. Stevie Wonder - Ecclesiastes (from an INCREDIBLE album)
8. Judas Priest - here come the tears/rocka rolla
9. The who - Heinz baked beans/cobwebs and strange/Rael
10. Michael Jackson - Shout/morphine
11. Alice Cooper - you and me
12. Depeche Mode - boys say go/agent Orange/soft touch raw nerve
13. DEEP PURPLE - April (my favorite track they've EVER recorded)
.. catching on?
It's sadistic but funny. Try it sometime
Styx-Kilroy Was Here, Babe
Alice Cooper-Anything from 'Flush The Fashion' (produced by Roy Thomas Baker, of all people).
Queen-need I say it? Track 4 from HS
New England Patriots- Raised On Radio, by The Rayvens;-)
thanks for this ^^^ as gametime gets nearer i get more nervous about this game...i really think my Patriots will get obliterated tonight...but thanks for the tune lol
Interesting.. that keyboard intro to the RAVYNS song.
Seeing how it was released along with Fast Times At Ridgemont High it can be assumed that John heard it. (Sounds like IWTBF).. having only watched the film for phoebe cates.
;-)
Jp.
No more suggestions?
Funny. Listening to FLUSH THE FASHION today I think everything but the mixing is kinda GOOD "Alice Cooper" except for clones which sounds kinda eurythmics like.
on the other hand the album SPECIAL FORCES seemed to have almost no redeeming value.
Care to discuss?
This whole Cooper era (check out various snippets...sadly, one very lost, drunk, and stoned individual) link
Quickly for a couple of other bands: almost anything Chicago released after Terry Kath's death (harmful if you are a diabetic...),
For male fans, anything after Journey's 'Escape' (other than 'Separate Ways'...just don't show them the video).
Paul McCartney 'Wonderful Christmas Time'
Peter Frampton: 'I'm In You'
for Baltimore Ravens fans today: anything by Boston (congrats, Brenski)

Look for the 'literal music video' of Separate Ways on youtube, if you haven't seen it yet! Hilarious.......(for those who dont know what I'm talking about, its where someone changes the lyrics to literally describe what is going on in the video....some of them are really funny!)
Another song to add......In The Ether by The Who! (slow ballad from Endless Wire w Townshend singing like hes trying to be Louis Armstrong or something) That would be funny actually, play that for someone whos ready to hear Wont Get Fooled Again.........
Haha yeah. In the ether
Same with Odorono.
I'll keep contributing. I don't know zep's material like the back of my hand so I can't suggest
THE POLICE - MOTHER, BEHIND MY CAMEL
DAVID BOWIE - THE LAUGHING GNOME
(*revised) BLACK SABBATH - IT'S ALRIGHT/BREAKOUT

Found a couple fun 'remakes', but unable to find the one you referenced. Link?
A couple of other songs, for any of those who liked the 'rockin' Rod Stewart: 'Tonight's the NIght', and, of course, 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy'. Totally turned me off to any of his future releases.
Atypical songs, hmm? Well, these two choices are from solo artists, but anyway, I choose Prince's 'Gotta Broken Heart Again', which is organic as hell and a contrast to the Purple Rain stuff people might expect. And the second choice is Dusty Springfield's 'That's The Kind of Love I Got For You', because who would expect early nu-disco (produced by Roy Thomas Baker, bizzarely!) from THE white soul queen?
I dont know exactly what songs, but Neil Young could have a bunch of songs in this category.........didnt his label try to sue him for not sounding like himself?
Or maybe for a fan of Lou Reed, play em the Metal Machine Music album (never heard it myself, just sounds freakin weird from the descriptions I've read.......)
Metal Machine Music is just Lou Reed fucking with his record company. The record is just bizarre with no real point to it other than to annoy people. You can listen to the whole thing on YouTube: link
Not saying you'll feel like it's time well-spent. I'm sad to say it's not the absolute worst piece of music I've ever heard. Close, but not quite. There *is* some art to it, but it is subjugated to Lou Reed's desire to piss certain people off to no end.
Aobtd - at that point yes.
Viva la vida, nah. Same hammering 8th notes on piano BULLSHIT they did for their career.
Fucking garbage.
But at least they gave us the mock coldplay KEANE who gave us you know who singing queen songs.
Such phony crap eras. I'm surprised people don't recognize it as much.
