Here are some revised titles of some well known 'Standards' humorously referred to by seasoned musicians who have to play these more often than they wish. How many of the original titles can YOU identify from these?

The Girl With Emphysema
Almost Like Being On Drugs
Close Your Thighs
When Your Liver is Gone
Musty
Sawdust
Vacuum In Indiana
Satan Doll
I'm Getting Sorta-mental Over You
The Days of Swine And Hoses
I'm In The Nude For Love
Honey Suck My Nose
Naughty Butt Lice
Me And My Shad Roe
St. Louis Booze

Anyone want to add to this list?

Scott

How 'bout a Sinatra and Ella favorite:

Beat, Battered, and Bewildered

And the Ice Man's song:

"I Only Have Ice For You"

None other than the famous Platter's and Three Son's song, (not really jazz, but...)

"Toilet Time"

Then there's the alternate title, "The Girl From Iwo Jima."

OK, here's stetching it a bit.

This tune was originally a polka, but was also a dixie-swing standard where I came from. (Wisconsin, where else.)

"The Band Aid Song," or "Just Be Gauze".

aka, "Just Because."

Frankie Yankovic must be rolling around in his grave right about now.

Elvis could pull off a 12/8 version of that tune in the same tempo and feel of his "The Wonder of you"...I can hear it now in my head....has to be fairly quick to pull it off.

How could you forget the sheep song?

Drum Roll Please!

"There Will Never Be Another Ewe"

Never!!!!, MY LOVE.

I think we forgot that wonderful Jobim bossa nova "Medication".

How about "Crab Diver"?

"In The Nude"

"String of Squirrels"

Didn't the 4 Aces do a song, "Love is a Many Splintered Thing"?

Beakybird

... How about the great Anka/Sinatra hit "(I Did It) SIDEWAYS" ... or "NINEWAYS" : ....

PS ... and how about that famous old Latin song "Brassiere" ... or was it "Brazil" ???

Let them coming please - maybe make an alternative Music Finder file. We already have "Nine Stone Cowboy" there.

Maybe add a special OTS with detuned instruments - and of course we can play the wrong chords and sing like Mrs Miller! (with a little help of the vocoder!)

embracable ewe
I've sewn a costume to her face

Whoops ...

more Musicals...
Idle wives
Suppertime

Seems to me there was this tune with the German title that meant good-bye:
"Our Feet Are Sane."

Naw .... that was:
"Love is a long and slender thing"
