| "Our guitar player is once again going to perform some chinese music
known as... TU - NING."
To hecklers: "Hey you, get your hands outta your pants - WE're supposed
to be the entertainment here!"
I also like Alan Starr's choice of band names:
"Good night and we're SORRY".

2411.14 | We are to music what Rosanne is to surfing | TRUCKS::LITTEN | | Mon Jan 06 1992 08:47 | 68 |
| Here's a couple I have used for hecklers........
"When GOD gave you a mouth he wasted a perfectly good arsehole"
and
"Let me have your home address for later tonight so I can come round and
have a good laugh when you're performing"
For closing the evening.....
" If you liked us we are called *insert band name*, if you did'nt we are called
*insert rival (and known to audience)band name*"
or
"We used to be called the SYMBOLICS....but changed our name to .....
*insert band name*, when SYM left"
when introducing the band......
"Our guitarist is called Fred NOVAK and our drummer is called Jim GOODE.....
they joined us from from a failed duo called NOVAK'n GOODE (say it quickly)
or
"Sorry if we look a bit tired, but we have just returned from a World Tour of
*insert local small town*"
"If you have any requests....send them to Jimmy Young (UK radio DJ)..not us"
"Give our singer the clap he so richly deserves"
"Don't applaud our singer .....he used to be conceited...but now he thinks
he's perfect"
or
"The next song needs no introduction....so I won't"
This next song is from the " Queen Mother Sings The Yardbirds Greatest Hits
Vol 2" (or any other similar totaly unlikely album name)
or
This next song is called " I used to kiss her on the lips...but I left her
behind for you"
or
this next song is called " I used to kiss her on the lips...but now it's
all over"
or
" This next song is an old original country tune that I have just writen"
or
This next tune is called " Get off the stove grandma..you're too old to
ride the range"
Happy improvising.......

| "Now we'll sing the one which made us famous"
"Are we getting paid? No? Then I won't bother to tune up"
During a tuning session.... "That's close enough for folk music"

| To hecklers
What do you use for birth control...your personality?
So now you know what happens when a fetus doesn't get enough oxygen.
To an audience
Our photographer is here but he wasn't counting on still life.
If you have a request write it on a piece of paper and stick it in your
ear and you will be the first to hear it.

2411.17 | From here to obscurity | OLTRIX::ZAPPIA | I feel free | Fri Mar 20 1992 11:02 | 12 |

You never know what you'll hear while hanging out near the soundboard;
one time an obscure comment to calcium deficiency related from
certain activities...
"Hey, how does your guitarist bend over so far backwards
like that?" It's easy, his legs are made of cheese.
Maybe you had to be there but I cracked up.

2411.18 | Ah, an entertainer's life! | STRATA::PHILLIPS | Music of the spheres. | Sat Jan 13 1996 10:46 | 17 |
| Late reply with a couple less famous ad-libs: 8*}
"We're gonna play 'Name That Tune!'...name this next tune and you get
to buy the band a drink!" (Our old leader used to do this all the time;
funny, we never got any takers.....)
"Here's a song we would *like* to have had a hit record with..."
(After playing a song that gets moderate recognition) "Thank you. Did
anyone here buy that record? We sold one, we're trying to find out who
bought it...."
"Here's a song we featured in all the leading motels from coast to
coast; we played in most of 'em (pause, pause) and, uh, we sang in a
couple of 'em, too...."
