Tonight was one of the finest shows we’ve ever played.

We also added “Werewolves of London” to the list o’ songs.

Really great singers, the new p.a. is sounding better and another packed house.

The funny thing is when people who show up at 12:30 get mad because there are no slots left. Why would there be?

Ain’t no reason!

Corey On!!!

This is how cool we are: When you sign up to sing you receive an “All Access” pass with a number on it. Hang on to that pass because at the end of the evening, we pick a number and if it matches the number on your pass, you win a fabulous prize!

Giveaways are what it is all about. Not the hokey pokey. Giveaways!!!

Corey on!

We are of the mind that the finest thing you might could do on a Wednesday night is to skeeeeedaddle down to The Happy Ending and “Get Your Corey On” with us.

The list usually fills up by the end of the first set, so all that’s left are bribes, which I’ll ’splain in a second. Make sure you get there early or Corky Nemesis makes you pay us. We make him do it, because we hate confrontation. Well, our sponsors said we hate confrontation and a sponsor would know, right? After all, they’ve been sober over 5 months.

The thing about the bribes is this: We earn a certain amount to play each evening for you good people of earth. When we finish our two sets, that’s what we’re there to play.

If you arrive late at a Laker’s game (yes, I just compared us to the Los Angeles Lakers, what of it?) they’re not going to play another quarter when they finish the game just because you want to see them play are they?

If they are, please invite us to go see the Lakers with you.

I could have just as easily written an example that had you working as a prostitute. Be thankful I didn’t!

Enjoy the Time Lapse clip of the gig and Corey On!!!

One Set in Six Seconds

Even with Gordon Sumner’s band playing just up the street from us and causing traffic havoc, we filled the list before our first break again and had a total blast tonight.

Corey snapped at some environmental actor type and that was funny because no one could tell if he was serious. I still can’t tell.  Corey insulted someone else who needed attention and that’s always funny and tragic. I think it might have been the same Corey. 

Who can tell when you’re on methadone? I mean really, right?

Regardless, it was the most fun we could have on a Wednesday night and we sure do love playing for the fine folks with fine taste who come to rock with us.

Oh yeah… tonight there were a plethora of frighteningly beautiful women. We all fell in love just a little bit with each and every one of you rockin’ damsels.

Gloria Gaynor’s haunting ballad “I Will Survive” has taken the top spot over the Bon Jovi emo death metal song “Living On A Prayer”. We’ve played the Gay-nor tune 22 times this year and Mister Bon Jovi’s ditty 21 times. 

Fascinating what one can do with a database, eh?

Corey On!!!!

Yay for Haim!

Now if we could just do something like that it would be awesome!

Sid reminds us a whole lot of us. Except he’s dead. But, there are oodles of parallels if you just sit back and think about them.

That’s why we’ve added his version of the Paul Anka classic “My Way” to our ever-growing list o’ tunes. 

Maybe this week, you’ll sign up (early, so you actually get to sign up) and pick “My Way”, rock the house, kill your girlfriend and then O.D. Then, a few years later an actor who will disappoint everyone by turning out to be the biggest ham this side of your local Honeybaked outlet, will play you in a romanticized version of your stupid, obvious and ultimately pathetic life only the movie will just romanticize it more but we’ll all really know that you blew it completely and were no better than the dinosaur rock stars you were supposed to kick out of the business.

Whew!!! Where did that come from!?!?!

Two new songs:

We’re Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister & Kiss Me Deadly by Lita Ford.

Yay!

It’s getting wacky, wacky, wacky at the big coreyoke shows. Thanks to summer time and meetup.com we’re getting really great crowds of folks to come down and corey along with us.

Last week our drummer, Corey Hardt, had his twin brother, Corey Hardt, sit in and play. This week it turns out that Corey Hardt wasn’t available either so his twin brother, Corey Hardt, had to fill in. 

We’re pretty sure that Corey will be back next week. But if he’s not Corey Hardt said he could do it. If he can’t, Corey Hardt can do it, too. That’s what Corey said, at least.

Another thing this week: Some guy made a scary mask out of a styrofoam to-go container and scared me because I thought it was a flashback. Dr. Drew said they happen. Fortunately, it was just an guy from New Zealand with a styrofoam mask.

I’m very street so I say aks. Should I pronounce the word mask “maks”? Hmm.

If my parole officer says it’s okay, I’ll see you next week. If not, my friend, Corey, can fill in for me. But I don’t plan on breaking parole again. I know I’ve said that before. 

It works if you work it, right?

Here are the outgoing top 5:

• I Will Survive
• Sweet Child O’ Mine
• Pour Some Sugar On Me
• Living On A Prayer
• Bohemian Rhapsody
