When you're doing a typical bar gig as hired entertainment and you don't have a following, well known up tempo covers are the name of the game. The more fun people are having, the longer they stay, the more they drink, the more money the bar owner makes, the more tips the bartenders get, and the more the bar owner and employees want you back.

Not to mention YOU'LL probably enjoy it more as the performer if everyone likes what they hear and are having a good time.
This here!! And NO FREEBIRD!! Just kidding.. (sort of)
