Hmm..

Ultimate-guitar.net for the most part, but general searches in google along the lines of:

"song name" +tab
"song name" +chords

usually brings up stuff.

Monty Python - The Philosophers Drinking Song is good although short.

Billy Connelly - The Evil Scotsman.

I'm not sure if either of these count either but Jerry Reed - Convoy and Amos Moses both make me smile.

Wouldn't work without an old Casio keyboard

I actually did this song last night, guitar in hand. In front of any other crowd I wouldn't have done it, but there I'm in front of 'pub friends', most of them are there each month for it and I've been playing there a couple of years now.

I haven't been that nervous before a performance in as long as I can remember. I've been singing in various choirs, in various odd languages like Welsh, Latin, Spanish, French, German, Albanian and so on, but never ever had anything so lyrically challenging to sing clearly with proper enunciation.

I made it 90% of the way through before I fell over on the line
"Tantalum, technetium, titanium, tellurium", joked with the audience whilst still keeping the pace going on guitar, before launching back from the line "There's holmium and helium and hafnium and erbium".

I did suggest that they could join in with me when I got to the halfway mark, if they knew the words

Was a good laugh last night, although a couple of the guys still managed to be moody bastards, and ended up having to buy drinks for certain members of the audience

Could have bewen worse... I could have suggested Lobachevsky.

Most people can do half of The Elements. Sadly, I can do all of it, along with Lobachevsky - which is much harder as it's all Russian names.

Sounds like it was a fun night though.

... And Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is his name!

Anyone else look up all the places in the atlas?
