    Default [OT] Have you got that tune which goes...

    Just a little let of of steam from recent gigs and I'm pretty sure that some others of you have this problem as well... the classic, Have you got that tune which goes 'doo doo di daa'. or some incoherant lyrics, or the wrong name of the song...'that shuffling song' for LMFAO - Party rock anthem, or my personal favourite Rihanna 'M & S'. I have tried many approaches to combatting this but am interested in how you guys either politely or impolitely deal with this

    Although you have to take the risk that they flick an ipod and say "its on here somewhere, play it". That's what annoys me quite a lot.

    Most of us are hired to entertain the crowd.....very few are big enough to draw a crowd that wants to hear whatever you feel like playing for music. I dont find requests annoying.. I think of them as a part of my job that I'm paid to do
