It is a great cover!

Not for nothing, one of my musician pet peeves are guitarists who leave tuners on the top of their headstocks. I think perhaps a lot of people think it makes them look like they're better musicians than they are. Others are most likely just lazy.

Take the dang thing off and put it on a mic stand or buy a discreet one.

OK music lovers — here are the rules:
Answer each category with a SONG. No repeats and don’t use the internet (it's tempting but try not to). Go with the first song that comes to mind, change the answers to your own (can’t steal mine)
 
Here's the list you can copy so you don't have any biases when you delete the other answers:
 
* Something to wear - 
* A Place - 
* Animal - 
* A Number - 
* A color - 
* A Girl’s Name- 
* A Boy’s Name - 
* Profession - 
* Day of the week - 
 
 
 
 
* Something to wear - Don't Touch My Hat by Lyle Lovett
* A Place - Champaign, Illinois by Old 97s
* Animal - I Wanna Be Your Dog - Stooges
* A Number - One by Harry Nilsson (Three Dog Night)
* A color - Purple Rain by Prince
* A Girl’s Name- Denise by Fountains Of Wayne
* A Boy’s Name - Charlie's Medicine by Warren Zevon
* Profession - DJ by David Bowie
* Day of the week - Friday - Joe Jackson
 
 
Your turn.........................

  • Something to wear: "Hat and Keys", AKACOD (probably because I saw "hat" in your answer)
  • A Place: "Bloomington", Old 97's (definitely because I saw Old 97's in your answer)
  • Animal: well, I saw Hongbit's answers, too, so the only one I can think of is "Run Like an Antelope".
  • A Number: "50 Things", Dead Milkmen
  • A color: "Old Blue House" (or maybe it's just "Blue House"), Blue Rodeo
  • A Girl’s Name: "Dawna", Morphine
  • A Boy’s Name: does "A Boy Named Sue" count? otherwise "Peter Piper", Run-DMC
  • Profession: "I've Been Working on the Railroad". kill me now.
  • Day of the week: "Thursday", Morphine

this forum software needs a "spoiler" feature.

edit: for the ones where I was influenced by others' answers, I may have eventually come up with a number of songs from the Dead Milkmen's Bucky Fellini because I listened to it fairly recently.

Do you think any part of that might be “Look at me, I’m a professional”?

I'm certain that there are many cases of this. Interestingly enough, most high end acoustic guitars come with a built in tuner so the tuners are redundant.

Its ten times more annoying when people leave them on electric guitars.

Hey @Biff Mayhem: I know you're a big fan of the white album with the pencil on the front, but have I ever shared this version of the Groupie Routine with you? Perhaps on the old site? I believe this version might have been done during the same show that Just Another Band was recorded.

I know this is a mothercussin' site now—and thank god because we are all grownups here after all—but NSFW warning applies here:
