Pick a Tori Amos song and change it totally. Maybe a grunge version of Winter?

Hahahah…some great ideas! (Hocus Pocus, by Focus…nice suggestion, but we’ll pass.)

Marley23, we’re not above doing any blues classics. Thanks for the suggestions!

So far, I liked the “You Dropped a Bomb on me …(baby)” suggestion…great encore song. Good call Eunoia.

When I was in another metalish/funk/punk band we did a cover of Blondie’s Call Me. With a galloping slap bass it went over huge!

Do a thrash-metal version of the Golden Girls theme song.
