Songs about hands

That's tonight's theme at the open mic. I'm gonna play these three, and see if anyone gets the joke. BUT, if you can suggest a BETTER song about hands, I'll play it, too! And no - "Jack U Off" does NOT count! smile

This song ROCKS

All bartenders LOVE this song

This is the old stand-by, but I'd really like a better song to play, since this one's been played to death

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Good songs! I've got to be able to play them on guitar and sing them reasonably well, so I'll run through those when I get home and see if I can make them sound OK.

I'd like to do "I Wanna Hold Your Hand" by the Beatles but I'm not sure I can sing it well enough.

The other song I'll probably do is "Devil's Right Hand" by Steve Earle.

If you're working them out on guitar, try this version.

Plus, there's no vocals to worry about. cool
