Dueling funtimes!
Whoever thought that going to a piano bar would be so much fun!
One our great friends asked us to go out to a "dueling piano bar" here in San Diego and even a day after, my face still hurts from the continual laughing and smiling through that past evening. When we arrived at 8pm, two pianists started on baby grands pointed at one another on a stage, and played anything that someone would request if they got a little tip as well.
When I say anything, I MEAN anything!
The opening song to the Spongebob Squarepants cartoon, anyone? How about the themesong to Ducktails? We even got a rousing redition of opening themesong from Cheers, with a few additional lines that were really NOT for the fiant of heart. The other songs played ranged from 50's to, pretty much, current day. One person asked for "Georgia" from John Mayer though and the fellows didn't recall it, so they sang "Georgia" from Ray Charles instead... Good call. As the evening proceeded, the songs became more and more "blue" sometimes they were regular songs with a little new addition here and there sprinkled in to make sure you were paying attention. Oh boy, and there was then the "Knoch Knock" song that was entirely over the top, lasted far longer then it should, but when it was over... my sides hurt.
Sadly, the staff there left a LOT to be desired (You should NEVER have to flag down your waitress for a Coke refill), but the entertainment far outweighed the negatives.
Too much fun! We'll have to go back again with a library of songs and a pocket of 1's to spend to see if we can stump em'.
