Song the Rudds / John Powhida should cover…
I think the Rudds need an anthem. Ideally, one with handclaps. Something to close the set pre-encore. Here’s my nomination:
Eddie and the Hot Rods, “Do Anything You Want to Do” (from “Life on the Line”: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:fzfqxqt5ldke).
Features:
- Very simple/direct inspiring lyrics that are fun.
- Bodacious bass line.
- Nice range for the vocal; obvious opportunity for female backing vocal (but not done by E&theHR’s).
- Handclaps.
- Just obscure enough that Brett Milano might have a hard time remembering who did it.
It’s a great rocker, and in that late 70s mode that the Rudds do so well. With some tweaks it could have been a Cheap Trick song. About the only thing I could complain about is that it doesn’t have a very good ending, at least on record.
