Members richardmac Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Gravity - John MayerElephants - Crowded House Uh... I guess I don't do a lot of newer music. I would, but it's not the gigs that I'm getting. The gigs I'm getting are for older folks. I don't perform "Gravity" for older folks, though. They might not like it...

Members EightString Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 I think "Rehab" is the only one I do that's reasonably "new". Seems I'm not the only one with that in my set list... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members richardmac Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Moves Like Jagger.....Really !!! That song is a guilty pleasure for me. I like it. It sounds like it'd be tricky to sing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chemikool Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 All of these are full band songs that I have reworked into a solo instrument and vocal: You Know My Name - Chris Cornell (great bond theme from Casino Royale) Everybody Loves A Happy Ending - Tears For Fears (great song that nobody but me knows as I keep finding out) F*ck You - Cee Lo Green (gets them dancing or keeps them dancing) Don't Tell Me - Kid Rock (same album as All Summer Long, but I didn't wanna do that one) Born This Way - Lady Gaga (great song with a great message that people seem to dig) Crazy - Gnarls Barkley (been doing it for years and I still like it; even before Eff U became huge) In This Club - Usher (learned it for a band I sat in with and liked it so it stayed; also good for dancing people) Rehab - yea I guess everybody does that one eh? Hot and Cold - Katy Perry (I learned it...it's in the book...if anyone ever has a 20 dollar bill I'll suddenly remember those 3 chords...hopefully nobody will ever want to hear it; haven't played it out yet) Everybody Gonna Dance Tonight - Paul McCartney (off the new album; good tune) Dick In A Box - Justin Timberlake (off of SNL, I get requests for this now. It's a crazy world we live in) I'm thinking Moves Like Jagger is the new "it" song, plus I'm reading all of ya'll saying it works...so maybe that one should be next?

Members Mike McLaughlin Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Most of my songs that are under 5 years old are country except for CeeLo: Forget You - CeeLo GreenGet drunk and be Somebody - Toby KeithPray For You - Jaron and the Long Road to LoveBrand New Girlfriend - Steve HolySmile - Uncle KrackerAll Summer Long - Kid RockToes - Zac BrownWhy Don't We Just Dance - Josh TurnerGood Time - Alan JacksonJust Got Started Loving You - James OttoPretty Good at Drinkin' Beer - Billy CurringtonCountry Girl (Shake it for me) - Luke BryanHillbilly Bone - Blake Shelton There may be some others under 5 years I'm leaving out. I bill my set as "Today's Country and Yesterday's Pop Oldies". I don't do "Grandma's country", most of the country is late 90s to present, except for a couple classics. About half of my set is pop from 60s and 70s, one hit wonders, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Terry Allan Hall Posted November 19, 2011 Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 About the only one I can think of is "The Bartender Song" by Rehab...it might be less than 5 years old. [video=youtube;pdEvL6jxUYA] I do, of course change a word or two, just to make it "family friendly"... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members fingerpicker Posted November 19, 2011 Author Members Share Posted November 19, 2011 Interesting that song by rehab was recorded in 2000, then re-recorded with Universal records in 2005. Then in 2008 it was released as a single and hit the charts. So even though it is nearly 12 years old, it still "new" to radio. (4 years old or so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
