Yeah you should do an acoustic version of 'Kiss The Girl' from 'the little mermaid' soundtrack. Beale has to sing like a jamaican crab though!

In fact, a full disney night could be fun with classics like 'A Whole New World' from 'Aladdin', 'Be Our Guest' from 'Beauty and the Beast', and everyone favourite, 'Skinhead, Skinhead' from 'Romper Stomper'.

I just wet my pants thinking about the possibilities...

yes, i imagine a lovely 3 part harmony over the "smack 'im if he's yellow! smack 'im if he's black! smack til he fucks off and never comes back!!" from that timeless Romper Stomper classic.

Yeah! See - Joe already knows the words too!

I offer my flat as a venue - so that all the slants that stay in my block can listen and join in and be multiculturally aware in what is predominantly a working and lower class area of the town. Because, we all know, deep down, its not about race, its about class. And Regular, Joe, being in a class of their own, could bring everyone together in a state of total harmony...

And then, we can sing 'Kiss The Girl', cause I've always wanted to snog a jap...

all good suggestions, are there any that dont involve talking aquatic creatures and vicious racial slurs?

what about that famous Simon&Garfunkel song, "Stop talking you Paki Crab" ?

Damn! How could my collection be missing that particular classic!

In all seriousness I'd like to hear you guys do an acoustic version of Joan Osborne's 'One Of Us'.

Hello from the land of sun, we were thinking "baby got back" or "I'm too sexy" (Dunno if thats whats its called but y'know the one where your too sexy for your shirt, Milan, New York and Japan etc) would both transfer delightfully to acoustic style..........

On a completely different and unrelated topic, we were in Vegas 2days ago and saw Weezer and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was IMMENSE. (The Chilis slightly moreso for Kirsty than Carly). But yeah. WOW. Also it was 125 degrees farenheit when we were there and the gig was outside. We consider ourselves lucky to be alive (especially since we went there planning to sleep on the street for the night after the gig, but that another story........)
