So, I auditioned for this Halloween musical review show thing. The audition was: come in with a song you know that will fit the theme: you're in purgatory singing your heart out in order to get out. Think of the waiting room Betelgeuse.
So I brought a few songs to try; the Meatloaf tunes I brought would have blown the show out of the water, but they didn't have a guitar soloist so they said those were out even though they would make great end of night songs. So I put on Temptation and they said 'yeah that's great; that fits perfectly.' So we ran it through a couple times, they picked it up pretty quick, and I sang it and then they asked who it was and I told them bon jovi and the expression was priceless...
'Ohh.....' one said. Then some bug eyes. 'Really?'
And now the guitarist plays it like he is asleep and doesn't give a crap.
But I'm already in
And the scene I set up is that I am dead and am haunted by the hooker who killed me, played by my girlfriend. It'll be good.
