Day Two, April Second
Medleys. No one actually likes them, and they ruin every song involved. The transitions are always awful, and none of the songs ever work together. Just when you are getting into the groove, or starting to actually enjoy something, it changes. Whoever invented the medley should have been shot.

To me the most-dreaded medleys are "funk medley in E" (usually consisting of Play That Funky Music, Thank You Fer Lettin Me Be Mice Elf Again, and probably We Got the Funk) and the classic "1-4-5 medley in G" (usually including Louie Louie, Get off of My Cloud, and Hang on Sloopy).
ReplyDeleteBut I think that medleys can be great if done well. Like most things.
Not sure if you're counting this as a "medley", but often bands will segue from one song to the next just to keep the dance floor active. If you stop the tune, take a minute to think of the next one, tune instruments etc, the dancers get fidgety and awkward, and you might lose them.
Maybe I'm being a bit too harsh. It's possible I haven't experienced good ones before. The post was mostly about the ridiculous numbers of dumb medleys I am forced to play in music class.
