OK, I'll do the trash can lids. How hard can it be?? I'll also do everyone a favor and move this thread back to the left side of the screen. My mouse fell off my desk having to scroll so far.
That's why they come with cords. Mine does anyway. Paul's is probably cordless. (Or wireless? I'm still confused about the difference...) x:-8
marc will dress up like Gene Simmons from Kiss.
I'd like to wear something Elton John-worthy. I like sparkly things.
Ray???? Do you like tie-died stuff?
Paul can wear something 80's: involving spandex, eyeliner, and shoulder pads.
HRinGA - We could glue some sequins on your "instruments" to make them pretty, if you like. Ooooh, oooh, oooh, we could paint them with glow-in-the-dark paint, and do a show in the dark.
Yeah! The funky paint that glows! So everytime I wham 'em together, paint could splash everywhere!! I like sequins. Can I have some feathers, too? And Bon Jovi was/is my favorite all-time band so we have to do a Bon Jovi cover song. Can anyone think of a cover for "You Give Love a Bad Name"? Bad Medicine? Livin' on a Prayer? Wanted, Dead or Alive?
I noticed I forgot to include you on the costumes list. Looks like you just found yours. x;-)
What with your Forum moniker and stereotypes and all, you should also wear wooden shoes, and a blonde pageboy wig. (Assuming your hair isn't already styled that way...)
Dutch, this is obviously going to be a somewhate eclectic group - so I think the cowboy hat will work.
Also, none of us can play a lick - at least that was the original premise - so I think we should all just play heavy, interpretive jazz. Noone knows what those guys play anyway and none of it hangs together. It all sounds like bagpipes gone bad, perfect for this group.
During my last visit to the dentist I heard bagpipes coming from the other room. My dentist is learning to play them. Contemplate that.... going to the dentist, hearing the sound of a drill and bagpipes in the background.
I vote that halfway through our show, a bunch of Riverdancers come out and start hopping and riverdancing. Then we bash them with the trash can lids and chase them from the stage.
Is everyone comfortable with "Flock Of Seagulls" and "Depeche Mode"???
I agree wholeheartedly. I'll be the one leading the pack, screaming like Siouxee and the Banshees.
Yes. Your costume must also include platinum blonde hair, worn in a swoopy style that cannot be mussed by wind, rain, or snow. Could possibly be ignited by the onstage fireworks show, though.
Who's in charge of the fireworks? And who's in charge of manning the fire extinguishers?
As a Kiss imitator, don't I get to screen the groupies?
I am pretty sure that's where I will excel. I thought I overheard Ray saying he was going to make sure my microphone is dead. He has SOME feeling for the audience.
Speaking of the nose harp... Anyone else recall the Ray Stevens song: Ned Nostril and his South Seas Paradise, put your blues on ice, cheep at twice the price band? Icky, icky, yucky, yucky. Each member of the band played a body part.
Ain't the correct expression "All ya'll"? In this neck of the woods ya'll is likely to used to imply the singular; where as all ya'll is used to denote more than one....
Pssst - hey you! Yes, you - look over here in the alley.
Now that spandex has been outlawed, a new black market has arisen to meet the suddenly increased interest in wearing spandex and thumbing our collective noses at the establishment.
Hey, every band needs a schtick. I can get you spandex in any color - guaranteed to be too small, too tight, and speaking of "rolling" like that; this spandex will define your "rolls."
Special prices just for the band and it's groupies.
I'd love to hear some Madonna on the bag pipes. Vogue...hrmmmmmmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaa...I can hear it now. It wouldn't be complete without the pointy bra to go with the kilt though.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-25-07 AT 10:45AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Let's get back on track: what did we decide the band name will be?
I vote for The Cheese Movers.
If that name wins, Paul gets to haul all the gear, which includes; - bagpipes - pointy bras - trombone - trash can lids - glow-in-the-dark paint for trash can lids - dulcimer - tap shoes - extra shoulder pads - makeup bag with lots of hairspray and eyeliner - headbands like the singer from Loverboy (sorry, I added that as an afterthought...) - fireworks and flameshooters for the stage show - fire extinguishers
That everything? I'll spring for a Radio Flyer wagon, with custom paint job, maybe like Eddie Van Halen's guitar in the 80's. The red one with black and white stripes.
[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 01-25-07 AT 10:49AM (CST)[/font][br][br]Paul said no spandex. If he's in charge of lugging all the stuff, he'll just sneak the spandex out of there and hide it.
Since you are our underground spandex vendor, you'll be in charge of the wardrobe trunk. Would you mind tossing my Elton John glasses in there while you are at it? I ran out of room in the Radio Flyer.

Hey! I know how to play the tuba!!!

Isn't that Flock of Seagulls?
What about my Bon Jovi????

The Cheese Movers have far more class than that.
We don't look or sound like it, but we are definitely a classy act.
No worries. No spandex for me. Thats not how I roll. Think more New Wave. Duran Duran. David Bowie. Not Aerosmith or Van Halen.
