Dave Horne Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 This one caught my attention ... An Italian priest who said he wanted to hold the world's first beauty contest for nuns has decided to cancel the project, saying he was misunderstood. As soon as I heard this, I thought, what tunes could be played? The only tune that popped into my head - You're Getting to be a Habit With Me. I had to play a cast party for 42nd Street a few years ago and that song was one that I worked up for that evening. No guitarists were harmed during the making of this message.

Tonysounds Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 How about Mick Jaggers Old Habits Die Hard. Or Oingo Boingos Nasty Habits Or Frank Zappas Catholic Girls Or the INXS treat Devil Inside. Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me.
Tonysounds Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 "Nun is the Loneliest Number that You'll Ever Do"..... Hitting "Play" does NOT constitute live performance. -Me.

SK Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 I don't know... a medley of the Miss America theme (Bert Parks) and Climb Every Mountain. Similar thing: a guy told me his band was playing for the opening of a Whole Foods store. So we were trying to think of "food group" song names. So far, all I could come up with was "Cantaloupe Island" and "Watermelon Man." Any suggestions appreciated . CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler
retrokeys Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 "Mellow Yellow," (refers to bannana smoking. I guess you had to be there) "Lime in the Coconut" anything By Moby Grape, "Salt Peanuts" "Cherry Pie" and of course "MacArthur Park" because someone left the cake out in the rain.

I Only Have Thighs For You Suppertime (Gershwin) George Shearing does a bit where he substitutes the word Lunch for Love. Lunch Is Just Around the Corner ... and so on.

Mike Davis Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 Life Is Just a Bowl of Cherries Do you know the 5/4 version of this song?
SK Posted August 27, 2008 Posted August 27, 2008 An impressive list, Sven, thanks - although it would make for a pretty boring set list. I'll pass it on. If they use it, I may have to shop at the store that day. CD: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/stevekessler
