The earlier “My Way or the highway to death” post spurs this post. I am thinking all musicians must have a tune or two that for some reason they just don't like to play. And when that audience member approaches the stage and makes his/her request inside we just go, Oh no not again!

I thought it might be interesting to see how we are, or not alike in this respect. Before I list top three Dreaded Request below I must admit Notes stated it very well when he says (I'm paraphrasing here) that no matter what the tune, he finds himself getting into it pretty quickly. The only thing I’d add to that is my level of getting into the song is based upon the level of the audience doing the same.

My top three Dreaded Request are:

#1. Matilda – This is an old 3-chord swamp pop tune from local 50’ band Cookie & The Cup Cakes with a lyric that seems like it was written by a 3 year old. But if you play in Louisiana you had better have this one in your book partner.

#2. The Chicken Dance – No explanation needed.

#3. The YMCA - It just works on my last nerve.

What are your Dreaded Request and why are they dreaded?
