You know what I haven't talked about in a while? Music. This is ostensibly a band's website so let's talk some rock and roll, huh?
As Scamper prepares for the next batch of shows, we're discussing the always controversial "what songs should we cover?" issue. I'd say in the two and a half years I've been in this band, somewhere around 93% of our time has been spent arguing about cover songs. We just can't seem to get on the same page on this one.
In general, our musical tastes usually are usually in synch. For instance, we all love N' Sync. But for some reason, when the subject of cover songs comes up, our normally jovial rehearsal turns into a scene from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? Mike and Nate insist on covering obsure indie rock bands I've never heard of with names like Oxycola and Venn Diagram Conspiracy. Keith hasn't heard any music made before or since 1994. And as for me, well if Sebastian Bach didn't write it, I ain't singing it.
As you can see, our pickle is in a bit of a conundrum. So in true Who Wants To Marry A Multi-Millionnaire? style, we're turning to you, the fans.
Here's are the candidates so far:
- Theme from Starlight Express
- Billy Ocean's "Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car"
- Mike's midi cell phone ring (composer unknown)
- Alan Jackson's "Where Were You (When You Heard Arrested Development Got Cancelled)"
- The Star Wars cantina song with Keith rapping verses of 3rd Bass' "The Gas Face" over it
- Anything by Color Me Badd
Any ideas to help us out, chumps?

MacArthur Park is always a crowd pleaser.
"I want to Sex You Up" would be a crowd favorite, but if you wanted to do a little anger rock you should go for "You Oughta Know" by Alannis Morisette.
Please Please Me by the Beatles.

Hmmm... Keith did try to go down on me in a theater that one time...
Avril Lavigne "Sk8er Boi"
"We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" by Jermaine Stewart. Or "Ever Fallen in Love" by the Buzzcocks. Or just do another hair metal song, whatever.
OMG you *have* to do the "We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off" song! Good call Vin!!!

Yes, Ethan you are my inspiration. You bring feeling to my life.
That's a clutch Peter Cetera reference right there. You don't hardly see those anymore.
How about another selection from the Karate Kid soundtrack? Maybe "You're the Best," by Joe Esposito?
I vote for a whole night of Harvey Sid Fisher covers...
Shut Your Pie Hole Quincy Girl - Mach 5
This just in: the theme from Starlight Express has been replaced with a medley from Zoo Animals on Wheels.
Thank you.
I'm a giraffe. I'm a giraffe. I'm a giraffe. I'm a giraffe.
That's just nonsense, man, nonsense. 'We Don't Have to Take Our Clothes Off', do it! Whore!

Nice. A get a life reference. tremendous show.

I only regret it didn't come to me this morning.
Don't get me wrong I'm all for the sweet sweet melody of CMB (as us in the industry like to call them). But i'm thinking a serious rockband such as yourself needs to cover any of the following:
a.)Falco -Rock Me Amadeus
b.)Cutting Crew - Died in your Arms Tonight
c.)Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby
d.)Eddie Murphy - Party all the Time
You don't hardly see those anymore.
Diggity? Diggity? Are you ok?
Cover some Silverchair—I hear they're the next Nirvana.
d.)Eddie Murphy - Party all the Time
If we were to cover an Eddie Murphy song, it would almost certainly be "Boogie in Your Butt."
Build Me Up Buttercup
Or that milkshake song; you know "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard..."
The theme from Punky Brewster.
Or (what's so funny about) Peace Love and Understanding by Elvis Costello
Hey, is this topic on the Board somewhere too?
Let's see, how about a cover of Depeche Mode 'Just Can't Get Enough'-- oh wait, I know: 'Achy Breaky Heart'
