Wurlitzer

[oliver101]

A guy came up to me last weekend and said 'do you do requests'?
I said to him 'what song do you want'?
He said 'do you know the song Wurlitzer'?
I said that I had never heard of it.
He said 'you know the song, everyone knows it'.
I said that I had never heard it before. Sing it to me I said to the man!

He prompty sang the following;

Wurlitzer one for the money, two for the show, three to get ready now go cat go, but don't you..................

Boom Boom, I've been using that one for years now.

Reminds me of the request for Paddy Me Boy. Band leader says "Never heard of it" Bloke says "Surely you did, Paddy Me Boy is that the Chattanooga Cho Cho"

I guess we all do get some strange/funny requests.
Someone asked is to play Slowly Dying" I asked all the guys if they'd ever heard of that one ! I even phoned a musician friend if he knew what it was ........... NO LUCK !!
Till,,,,,,,,,, the guy came up when we were having a coffee break and tried to sing the tune ! He left a 100 bucks tip n the table and said " Thank you , I'm sure you'll sing it for me "
The song ? "KILLING ME SOFTLY " !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stevie Wonder was playing a huge gig in Tokyo. He was about three numbers into the set when a little guy in the front row stood up and shouted "Stevie, play a jazz chord" Stevie thought to himself I'll humour the guy so he played a Bb minor 7th with a flattened 9th. "No, no", said the little man, "Play a jazz chord" So Stevie played a series of really clever chords. "No, no" shouted the little guy "You know....... A jazz chord to say I rove you."
