No, quite a lot I don’t know! But then whilst I can play I’m a bit of a musical ignoramus, hence asking for suggestions. Some good, some not so good, but I thought you lot would enjoy playing the game anyway. Interesting to see a few Amy Winehouse – that’s definitely the sort of feel, we currently play Hey Little Rich Girl, and we did Valerie, but now only have a male vocalist, so that didn’t work for his range, so that version up there is really interesting – no I didn’t know that was the original! (though I think I prefer the horns on the Ronson/Winehouse version, so we’ll probably do a mash of the two if we put that back in). Probably should have mentioned our singer doesn’t go too high which rules some of those without a lot of rework.
TBH my idea of floor fillers is less obscure tracks – I should have known I could rely on you lot to come out with more niche music! But I’m thinking more of songs most people will have heard of (which doesn’t necessarily mean I have).
shermer wins the prize for suggesting Geno which we already play – another new track which I think works really well for us.

not necessarily looking for stuff like some on the current playlist though – the new stuff I think is more the way we want to head
