Theme from Rawhide....it worked out alright for the Blues Brothers.

Cover tunes should depend on what region you're in for the gig. What's your audience, what do they like. It takes some investigation. Especially nowadays. Most anyone will like a huge classic, anywhere. But, making friends, is something a bit different.

So, Spandau Ballet will not go over well in Oklahoma?

Just think of the songs that people like to sing in a drunken stupor on the way home.
 
Delilah: Tom Jones has to be up there.

Drunken Stupor.

I'm not familiar with that vehicle.

Is it British?
