Input needed

*Kid Icarus* · 09-04-2006, 02:43 AM

First some info... Every weekend a local venue puts on some pretty cool shows. Everything from belly dancers to drag, vocal preformances to jazz concerts, and anything else inbetween you could imagine.

One of my friends who preforms there wants me to be in one of his upcomming shows, but i need input for one of the numbers i'm gonna be doing. i've already decided i'm going to pay homage to Nirvana by impersonating Kurt Cobain on stage... living Kurt anyway. Guitar and all. I'll be lipsynching, since I won't have a band to play with, and my voice is far from ideal for this.

What help do I need? Aside from the obvious mental, I need advice on which Nirvana song I should preform. I'd like to stay away from Smells Like Teen Spirit, but I know that'd get the crowd going, and would get me the most in tips. It does need to stay in the small pool of songs people would be able to recognize.

Primary choices are:

Lithium
Come as You Are
Heart-Shaped Box
Rape Me
Sliver

Or, if I do decide to preform live:

Polly
Pennyroyal Tea

Any ideas? Even if you don't care for Nirvana, chances are you've heard a few of these songs.

I think Heart-Shaped Box is always a good choice. I'd also recommend Where did you sleep last night?, I know it's just a cover but I think most people relate it to Nirvana.

Heart-Shaped Box.

Definitely.

Lithium, it's recently gotten really popular again so alot of people would recognize it. Either that, or Heart Shaped Box for obvious reasons.

As for live, Penny Royal tea FTW
