Brilliant! Absolutely brilliant! I hadn't considered the rap/hip hop angle, but with David on the mic we would just need someone with the title "DJ" in front of some contrived, shortened slang nickname to do some scratching and act like they're disinterestedly spinning LPs and we're (as Otter said in Animal House) "in like flint." For the nostalgia set, how about a little Ton Loc or, taking it back real old school, some Sugar Hill Gang? "Hotel, motel, Holiday Inn ...."

Me, I'm just here to help out as only a wannabe three-chord hack can do. But, David, I will even "cut my hair and change my name" if it will help out.

how about "walk this way" for cross-over appeal?

and who could pass up rapper's delight? i said a hip hop a hippy to the hip hip hop you don't stop a rockin' to the bang bang boogie say up jump the boogie to the rhythm of the boogidy beat.

Scott, he might have something there: "Lido" - Boz Scaggs, from Urban Cowboy. I believe you could belt that one out pretty well, brother.

Greg, you are now officially the lexicographer for our impending repertoire of greasy Gulf Coast swamp blues. I can't say I know enough of it to pass muster. Years back, I heard Steve Vai do a number called "Greasy Kid's Stuff." I don't think I can play it.

Out of concern for public health and safety, greasy Gulf Coast swamp blues isn't music to, uh, consume sherry by, is it?

If I understand correctly, we have suggestions ranging from conventional classic rock to Homer and Jethro to Little River Band. Add in Devo and the circle will be complete.

And if you're going to play devo, who went to high school with my wife, then YOU GOTTA play the B-52's Rock Lobster and Rock this place.

I don't think we have discussed disco yet. Boogie oogie oogie?

"Through Being Cool" is excellent. So is "Rock Lobster." And how about Joe "King" Carrasco's "Party Weekend"?

In the disco vein, maybe Sarah can sing Donna Summer's "Bad Girls."

"Follow the Drinkin' Gourd" -- New Christy Minstrels, Greg could tear the drums up on that one.

How 'bout bongos, Ken? A.P.'s been wanting to get into that kind of thing. Or cowbell (then we could do "Don't Fear the Reaper").
