Song #2. They might recognize it from a commercial.
God damn it, that's what the rest of the band wants to play. I have about 1000X more fun playing The Hives. Also, I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about with the other suggestions/jokes.

A. I'm just being pragmatic for your audience.
B. They are Misfits songs. Both are full of swears.

The Hives song would be better and more fun to play, but given the rest of your oeuvre the Blur songs fits in a lot better.
Also, I don't know what the hell you guys are talking about with the other suggestions/jokes.

What about something by Space?

Bob Dylan can't sing.

90's emo bands with wining singers piss me off.

Buddy Holly rules.

I don't mind Bobby D's voice at all. Well, when I saw him live a few years ago, his vocals were pretty god awful.

I thought emo was most whiny in the early aughts?
