But just as they remember brown eye girl (hey what does that song title really refer to anyway? Is it a girl with brown eyes or a girl's brown eye.dunno), the people also remember things like 'Last Train to Clarksville' or instead of Play that Funky Music, why not Clarence Carter's 'Strokin', instead of Sweet Home, why not Werewolves of London.sorry same song nevermind. I urge you younger players to fight this dilemma and malaise. In the meantime men have become so self absorbed in staying home and watching videos, porn, video games, or staying out of jail due to previous DUI's. And if not.they'll snugglemuffin.sorry tweet their BFF's and it's onto the disco or the bar where the band plays all the same crap all the other bands play. They don't want to think provocative thought. The only live bands that got booked performed the live function of the DJ.

Soon enough, original thought and music died in the live market unless you wanted to play for free or in a buddies basement. More people staying home for entertainment, when they would come out, the original bands didn't play any songs the cute mindless girls wanted to dance to (I mean it was like so totally.) and so the girls would go back to the dance club where they heard the same damn songs over and over and over.

And then cable TV and video games came about. Finally instead of asking the band to play brown eye girl and having the original band tell them to bugger off, they could ask a DJ to play the one song they think they can dance to or liked. And it was good (sometimes.face it a bad song is a bad song). So we started to shun bands playing cover music and seek out new and original thought and music. This was fine because musicians wanted to write their own music anyway. We wanted to hear unique to prevent boredom. While we like to hear familiar music, we became bored with the same bands playing the same sounds. If your bar didn't have a live band.we went to the next one that did. We used to go out to see live bands everywhere. Entertainment options at home were very limited. Since the advent of cable tv, game boys, satellite radio, iPads, smart ee wifi.people had only three TV channels and PBS. Here is why this happens to all of us in cover bands. But we throw in some others I don't hear a lot of groups playing - Synchronicity II (Police), Godzilla (Blue Oyster Cult), etc. Not among the ones you mentioned, we play Jenny (867-5309) and Hit Me With Your Best Shot and some others of that vintage. We don't do any of the others on your list but I've played Kryptonite with other groups. We were going to have My Own Worst Enemy but dropped it, I think because too many other bands were playing it. I've heard bands make absolute sludge out of it. My current band plays Good, and frankly I think we nail it pretty well. Of course, songs being easy to learn quickly doesn't hurt when you want to have three hours' worth of music and get gigging as quickly as possible. You can always play 'THE' set list with Mustang Sally and Sweet Home Alabama and all, but most of us like to change it up a bit.

On the other hand, you don't want to sound exactly the same as every other cover band out there, both so that you can market yourself and for your own sanity. On the one hand, your job is to entertain the audience, and that means playing songs that your typical bar crowd knows and likes. I think that it's always tricky to build a cover band set list.
