  • Air Guitar (or Bass, or Drums, whatever)

    A light topic...

    What songs can you not resist play Air Guitar (Bass/Drums/Piano/etc.) to?

    I ask because I was listening to music on my phone while waiting in line at the bank today and Sugarloaf's "Green Eyed Lady" started playing.

    Also, Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" causes several people I know to flail their arms in the air.
    "Kamala the Ugandan Giant" 1950-2020 • "Bullet" Bob Armstrong 1939-2020 • "Road Warrior Animal" 1960-2020 • "Zeus" Tiny Lister Jr. 1958-2020 • "Hacksaw" Butch Reed 1954-2021 • "New Jack" Jerome Young 1963-2021 • "Mr. Wonderful" Paul Orndorff 1949-2021 • "Beautiful" Bobby Eaton 1958-2021 • Daffney 1975-2021

      I remember a few years ago when a street video of some woman dancing at a bus stop went viral. Somebody figured out she was listening to "Dancing Queen".

        "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida" is *ALWAYS* a good air drumming song.
        "Radar Love" is an air bass song.
        "Lazy" is an air keyboard song.
        "Blues Power" (Live version only) or "Happy" for the air guitar.

        Any of them to sing (badly) to at full volume, of course.

            My husband suggested to the owner of one of the second hand shops in our neighborhood to put a sign on the guitar case they were selling "Classing Air Guitar, needs tuning" and a price $5 over what they were asking

              "Lazy" is an air keyboard song.
              ... "Happy" for the air guitar.
              "Lazy" by Deep Purple?

              Which "Happy"?

                  For some combination of air guitar, air drums, or air conducting:

                  Status Quo's "Rocking All Over the World"

                  Phil Collins' "Something In the Air Tonight"

                  Just about any upbeat Queen or Meatloaf song.

                  Dexys Midnight Runners' "Come On Eileen"

                  Pavarotti's version of "Nessun Dorma"

                  Dolly Parton's "9 to 5"

                  Duran Duran's "Wild Boys" or "Hungry Like the Wolf"

                  Why yes, my musical taste is eclectic!

                      Too many to list! But one comes to mind, fairly recent, that was used in the opening to an anime.

                        Lately I've been rocking to a lot of Mick Gordon's Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal tracks.

                          My favorite version of this was done by the Blue Man Group. The synth part was done with one of their pipe percussion instruments, and the guitar chords were done by BEATING with a SLEDGEHAMMER on the string part of a GRAND PIANO that had been removed from the piano.
