good "everybody knows" songs

Unread post by bb2 » Tue Aug 16, 2005 8:00 pm

i'm looking for some songs to play at parties and stuff that people would like, some songs that everybody knows but are just good songs that ppl can enjoy. So far, the best I've come up with is Ben Harper's "Sexual Healing" but I'm looking for others. I'm just singing and playing an acoustic so keep that in mind. All suggestions welcome.

I'm just gonna say that I don't like songs like these. I don't learn them. I play guitar for me, so I learn what I like.

Random movie quote to make you seem hip and "with it": Dr. Peter Venkman: I make it a rule never to get involved with possessed people. Actually it's more of a guideline than a rule.

everyone will know them, and if people don't know the verses just play the chorus over and over.
hosting the oscars is like winning the heisman trophy. no matter how you do in the ballgame, or whatever, they can't take it away from you. and even if you kill your wife and an ex-waiter, they still have a hard time taking it away from you

God, I cant take the song serisouly. With Mayer playing it on Chapelle and the fact that it is by poison, I cant not laugh at it.
