What song do you play that people wouldn't ordinarily expect acoustic?

I do some songs by The Cars and people usually are singing along on the chorus. Easy chords and rhythm too.

Foxy Lady by Jimi Hendrix.
Taxman by the Beatles.

The One I Love
Boys of Summer
All Along the Watchtower

I do Meat Loaf’s Two Out Of Three Ain’t Bad.

[OregonJim]

Still Loving You by the Scorpions

EDIT: Just noticed you said solo acts. We did this in an acoustic trio - bass, guitar, fiddle. Our "thing" was to switch instruments at the end of every song.
