Live band karaoke with three guys named Corey!

Requests, Requests & Some Requests

Why yes, we do play requests, but we need to have ‘em.

You’ve seen our list of songs, but we’re always looking for ways to spend time alone with our instruments re-learning a song we co-wrote back in the 80′s.

Add a song to the comments.

Corey’s on house arrest for three months due to a parole violation, so he can only leave to do shows. He’ll be watching the list and advising me and Corey about what songs to woodchuck on.

No, we won’t do “Sunglasses at Night”. It’s just not that good. Even Corey agrees.

  3. MEAT UP!! — C O R E Y O K E Says:

    [...] of new songs, there have been a couple of requests over in the requests requests requests area but not enough to get me to skip AA meetings and blow our sobriety by doing enough Bolivian [...]


  4. CKlemow Says:

    Talking Heads – “Road to Nowhere”
    Thompson Twins – “Hold Me Now”
    Alan Parsons Project – “Don’t Answer Me”
    The Buggles – “Video Killed the Radio Star”

    Billy Joel – “Pressure”
    John Cougar Mellancamp – “Jack and Diane”
    Stray Cats – “Rock This Town,” “Stray Cat Strut”
    Thomas Dolby – “She Blinded Me With Science”

    or i could shut up and go away


  5. admin Says:

    no one named corey should ever shut up and go away. that’s what they tried to do to us. (sure, we did for awhile, but court ordered rehab doesn’t really count, does it?) but we’re back!!!

    regarding the requests:

    nice. very nice.

    though, i would like to launch ms. ullman into the ocean.

    we’ve been doing material girl. does that count as madonna?

    corey on… our wayward son…


  6. bunky Says:

    How about this one?

    More Than A Feelin’ – Boston


  7. dcva Says:

    You have a good list!
    There are some notables though that you may consider:

    Rock n’ Roll all nite – KISS
    Rapper’s Delight – Suger Hill Gang
    I think we’re alone now – Tiffany
    LaBamba! – Los Lobos

    I saw you all play a little of Over the Hills and Far Away and then you cut it off. Had I saw that on your list, I would’ve chosen that. Unfortunately, I was to late to sign up and sing :(


  8. goldpipes Says:

    How about:
    “Easy” (Lionel Richie)
    “Smooth” (Rob Thomas & Santana)

    I would love to try these songs!


  9. admin Says:

    Easy is on our current “to do” list. Look for it within the month!


  10. goldpipes Says:

    Have you guys included Easy on the list yet? I wanted to do it wednesday but DJ said that if is not on the list you guys won’t do it.

    Cheers!


  11. LittleIrish317 Says:

    Ok. 2 words: “What’s Up” 4NonBlondes. always a hit :)
    pleeeeeaaaaaaase


  12. zekejacobs Says:

    I would like to try “Unchained” or “Panama” by Van Halen.
    Ditto on the “More than a feelin’” request by Bostson!


  13. admin Says:

    “Easy” is now one of our tunes. One of our favorite tunes to play, by the way. Come and sing it!


  14. derekcbart Says:

    How about “Centerfield” by John Fogerty and “Jack and Diane” by John Cougar Mellencamp?


  15. theMerm Says:

    Oh boys, you don’t even want me to start naming all the songs possible. . . but I will request one for now. . .
    weekend homework if you will. . .

    TEENA MARIE – “LOVERGIRL”

    I’m not from Oakwood but my pipes could be. Let’s get funked as a quad-ro-phon-ic.

    I do TIP, but don’t collapse!

    Tell Corey I loved him in the movie.. aw what was it… oh you know, the one with the guy doing that thing with uh his thing for that girl. Classic. Corey On.


  16. jimmymc Says:

    Yous guys got the chops to “Fly Me to the Moon”? ala Sinatra? Be Brave!


  17. aquateen3000 Says:

    “boys don’t cry” the cure

    imma be there tomorrow!


  18. belinda Says:

    You guys could use some more girl songs. How about some Go-Go’s, Scandal, or Berlin?


  19. admin Says:

    We now have Goodbye to You by Scandal. So give me some money!!! I’ll sell you my teeth.


  20. Tester Says:

    You guys are the best!!


  21. Anne Hedonia Says:

    I suggest:
    “Celebrity Skin” by Hole
    “Missionary Man” by Eurythmics
    Some old skool Police, like “Roxanne” or “So Lonely”

    I’m sure I’ll think of some others. :)


  22. admin Says:

    Anne Hedonia? Genius.


  23. emily Says:

    Do you ever play Hall n Oats??? Can you plAY any of the following?
    - Maneater
    - Rich Girl
    - You Make My Dreams Come True
    - Private eyes
    Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  24. admin Says:

    We had maneater on our playlist for awhile, but no one ever picked it. Since we destroyed so many brain cells doing speedballs, we have to make room in our memories for stuff the peeps pick. If you were to give us a few days notice and actually show up, we’d be thrilled to play maneater again. it’s a great song!!!

    Corey On!!!


  25. Anne Hedonia Says:

    :) So cool to find someone who gets the joke. You must have been in therapy too. ;)


  26. Jorge Says:

    Any additions from the grunge era would be appreciated.
    - “Zero” (S. Pumpkins)
    - “Alive”, “Black” (P. Jam)
    - “Ocean Size”, “3 Days” (J. Addict.)


  27. elle Says:

    you should add Anything Anything by Dramarama :)


  28. admin Says:

    Coincidentaly, we added it three weeks ago!


  29. Tallulah Says:

    “Burning Down The House” by Talking Heads


  30. neurotic10 Says:

    ooh! OOOH!!! does either 4 Non-Blondes’ What’s Up or Dolly Pardon’s 9 to 5 pose any interest the the Coreys? ^_^


  31. admin Says:

    nice suggestion… you’re not the first, so that’s good.


  32. ... Says:

    How about some Meatloaf? Suuuch good belting music. Sure, in the wrong hands it could be heinous. But, oh the payoff if it goes right.

    Bat Out Of Hell

    Paradise By The Dashboard Lights

    Please :)


  33. AAAAAAAAANDY Says:

    Dear good sirs, your playlist is severely lacking in Joe Esposito songs. May I ask of you to include one of my favorite dittys entitled “You’re The Best” from the award winning 1984 film “The Karate Kid”?


  34. admin Says:

    Wow. That’s more obscure than Snowboard Academy!!!

    We’re on a mission to add more “Girl Songs”. You know… so girls can sing.. more. Or something. Can you think of any “girl songs”?


  35. Jules Says:

    Dearest bestest livest band friends: If you could add some Ace of Base, New Kids on the Block, and other such late 80s, early 90s songs to your repertoire, that would be just soooooper swell. Also, Blondie’s One Way or Another, Ben Fold’s Rocking the Suburbs, or Anything Abba would make your awesomeness even awesomer. Thanks!


  36. Girl Songs Says:

    Hmm… In that case:

    Boy band songs are (unfortunately) always a win for girls, as are Taylor Swift (don’t mock, she’s the best), Carrie Underwood’s When He Cheats, Destiny’s Child, the Dixie Chicks.


  37. Rick Says:

    Take Me Home Tonight – Eddie Money (just like Corey said…)


  38. Capovin Says:

    Could you guys find it in your heart to add “since I’ve been loving you” by led zepp? Or “la woman”?


  39. Anny Says:

    Killing Me Softly -The Fugees!!


  40. Anne Hedonia Says:

    Here’s a nice unreasonable request: could you learn Neon Tree’s “Animal” before Feb 9th? :P I’d love to sing it but I’m starting a new night job and I won’t be able to come by on Wed nights from then on. Thank you for molding your lives around my whims.


  41. Sasafrassssss Says:

    May I suggest…

    Rusty Cage and Outshined – Soundgarden (Yep, I’m greedy.)

    Sad But True – Metallica

    Dimension – Wolfmother

    I Want to be Evil – Eartha Kitt

    I second Rappers Delight –
    Sugar Hill Gang (Excellent suggestion and great sing along song.)

    Please allow me these songs so I may rock with the power of the Corey.


  42. Tallulah Says:

    You need girl songs? I got one: Crash, by The Primitives. Easy to sing and rockin’. ;)


  43. Kannan Says:

    Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life
    The Beatles – Come Together


  44. Casey Lynn Says:

    Do you guys do Country music at all? Do you only cover music from circa 1980ish? :) If you are open to something newer, I’d like to request “I’m on a mission” by Trick Pony.


  45. admin Says:

    How would Roberta Flack feel about your request, Anny?


  46. admin Says:

    These are very good… very good… Rappers Delight struck a nerve with all of us. In the good way.


  47. admin Says:

    Any that someone besides yourself might know?


  48. admin Says:

    Very good… These (and all suggestions, actually) are now on the “To-Do” list.


  49. admin Says:

    We did “Stand By Your Man” for a spell, but so few people requested it that we removed it from our repertoire as it’s a complicated tune to keep in one’s head with all the drug/alcohol damage PLUS the rehab chants. We’ll check the song out and maybe put it on the “To Do” list.

    Good suggestion, though. Thank You!


  50. Emily Says:

    My friend Natalie & I sing almost every Wednesday (Dont Stop & Sweet Caroline), we love you guys! Wondering if you could add some Hall & Oates to your set list?! Thanks! See you fools tonight!


  51. Emerson Says:

    How about MAGGIE MAY by Rod Stewart! SOO much fun


  52. Brian Says:

    I think it would be great to sing “Say Goodbye to Hollywood” at the Happy Ending. I thought I saw “Because the Night” on your printed list at the bar but don’t see it here. Split Enz and the Cure are always fun, and of course the Smiths (guess my age, I dare ya). INXS’s “One Thing” I don’t ever see at karaoke bars but it’s so good.


  53. Shawn Says:

    Here I go Again – Whitesnake


  54. Nicci Says:

    4 Non Blondes – “Whats Up” PLEASE!!


  55. marc Says:

    Space Oddity – David Bowie.
    Boomtown Rats – I Don’t like Mondays.


  56. Needz A. Life Says:

    More girl songs:

    - Breeders – “Cannonball” (Awesome and rocks hard)
    - Sneaker Pimps – “6 Underground”
    - Tegan and Sara – “Walking With The Ghost” (Lyrics are easy enough…)
    - Ting Tings – “That’s Not My Name”
    - Pretenders – “Middle of the Road”
    - Go-Go’s – “We Got The Beat”

    Non-girl-originated songs
    - Def Leppard – “Photograph” (Cheese Factor = high)
    - U2 – “Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For”
    - Neon Trees – “Animal”

    A duet! (Or one of you sings a lot of backup)
    - Morningwood – “Nth Degree”

    Also, I noticed the header graphic on your website no longer matches your new(ish) theme. This may have been an artistic choice or just not wanting bother with it, but being as I am a web designer I thought “That’s easy enough to fix,” so I did. Here: http://bit.ly/k0ka2q.

    Don’t judge me because I have time on my hands.


  57. admin Says:

    Great song requests. Thank you for the “girl songs”.
    Regarding the header: We like pink. That’s why it’s pink.

    Time is good. We judge you for having other stuff on your hands.


  58. Needz A. Life Says:

    “Regarding the header: We like pink. That’s why it’s pink.”

    Lol. Fair enough.


  59. Needz A. Life Says:

    I forgot to add: you’d be surprised how many people’s web sites aren’t particularly intentional.


  60. Jessica Says:

    You guys should add some 38 special to your song list


  61. room319 Says:

  63. jimmymc Says:

    GentleCorey”s,
    I shall be visiting on the 20th of July and was wondering if you had managed to work up “Fly Me to the Moon” or “Summer Wind” as requested on August 6th 2009. Frank would sit up and listen if he had the chance!! Newest request!! Iggy Popish, “Real Wild Child”. Should fit in with Corey-Spirit!


  64. brian Says:

    How come you guys don’t have Turning Japanese?


  65. Alia Says:
