[Harp-L] Re: (Cheesy) Cover Songs

"What are the "cheesiest" or not so cheesy cover songs you guys play?"
=====================================================
I must say I've been a little disappointed in this thread, expecting some real mozzarella from the list. Chris's original list was fairly cheesy - Ghost Riders and Tears for a Clown get a couple of pimentoes from me. The cheese factor ratcheted up a bit with his later list of TV /movie themes. However, I was upset when Rob P. mentioned "She Caught the Katy" - hey, my group just added it to our song list in an effort to dilute the cheese! So, in an effort to add a little Stilton to this discussion, I checked our song list and present the following as our cheesiest, along with my cheese rating (# of c's) and comment.


"Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain" - ccc - good, aged American.
"Secret Agent Man" - c - any TV/Movie song qualifies as cheesy, but this one rankes pretty low on the Limburger scale.
"Just a Closer Walk With Thee" - ccccc - real, non-processed Provelone (or is schmaltz actually a kind of cheese?).
"Reason to Believe" - cccc - you've got to be better musicians than us not to have this one curdle on you.
"What Am I Doing Hanging Round" - cc - my all-time favorite Monkees song, but hey - it's a MONKEES song.


I must admit that not much harp gets played on these numbers, plus no one pays to hear this load of romano, but thought you all might like to see our cheese list.
