Jason Says:

CAN’s “I Want More” or anything by A Certain Ratio. Uh, also, I hate to be that guy, but it’s Pat Mahoney, not Mohoney.

Chris Burns Says:

why remix perfectly good songs? that is the problem with 2008.

That jackie mitoo and can requests are winning IMO right now

I second “Barracuda”.

June 18, 2008 at 6:06 pm
Sexy Fitsum Says:

even better, “Magic Man”

June 18, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Michael Says:

These are joke requests, right?

June 18, 2008 at 6:16 pm
John Foster Says:

Taking the Can request to the next degree hows about some Moonshake? “Sweetheart” or “Exotic Siren Song” will do. No tix - I just want someone to play Moonshake. I am easy that way.

June 18, 2008 at 6:33 pm
Cale Says:

Can clears the floor. Trust me, I’ve tried. This isn’t We Fought The Big One. Also, here is a mix I posted a while back with !!!’s Must Be The Moon:

http://www.brightestyoungthings.com/byt-recommends/promo-tool-for-tool-party/

which also never goes over well. I don’t think the ladies like dancing to !!!.

June 18, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Sexy Fitsum Says:

@Michael
I don’t joke about Heart, bro

@John
wow … Moonshake, talk about no jokin.

kurtesss Says:

Just go with “Blister In The Sun” and be done with it… or any other Violent Femmes song or, better yet, really terrible covers of Violent Femmes songs.

gui boratto- beautiful life

Britt Says:

mammoth by interpol, surprisingly good remixed, or anything by nine inch nails!

June 18, 2008 at 11:40 pm
Al Says:

I love Battles by Atlas, but I can’t picture it on the dance floor. Listen to it on a very nice pair of headphones (or nicer-than-most anyway–I have Sennheiser 555s) for a wonderful bit of auditory brain massaging.

I can’t believe I have to miss this for a wedding. Stupid friends…

June 19, 2008 at 7:24 am
Lily Says:

H&FO always, gotta love the yacht rock
speaking of which, when is your party next weekend Fritz?

corrections yet again:
Interpol - Evil
Heart - If Looks Could Kill

Scut Farkus Says:

Personally, I like listening to my 7506’s. I can really feel the extended frequency response in that 10-15hz area that the 555’s just don’t have.

and a Kanye jam that hardly sees enough rotation:

Queen - “Don’t Stop Me Now”

william alberque Says:

Can? A Certain Ratio? Moonshake? Really?

Cale’s got you there, you got lost on your way to the WFTBO website. I mean, “Shack Up” could work, and if anyone can make Starship and Lionel Richie fans dance to ACR, it’s Will.

PS Nice use of the Can/Moonshake transition. Clever. If you haven’t heard it, pick up Moonshake’s First EP on Creation. “Coward” and “Gravity” are head-and-shoulders better than anything they did after.

June 20, 2008 at 12:30 pm
Cale Says:

Let’s make a list of other bands that directly reference Can, I’ll start:

The band Moonshake named after the Can song
The band Spoon named after the Can song
The song I am Damo Suzuki by The Fall
The song Dear Can by !!!
The song Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem

June 20, 2008 at 12:37 pm
Michael Says:

Speaking of Can, I think we should bring back the word can as slang to refer to shapely asses (not that there are many of those in DC, at all).

And again: unpanty-line your cans, ladies. It’s unsightly.

June 20, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Jason Says:

Dahhh you got almost all the references I came up with. The Mooney Suzuki is named after CAN’s first two lead singers, though (Malcolm Mooney and Damo Suzuki).

June 20, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Lily Says:

i second Starship and Queen
anytime

June 20, 2008 at 5:42 pm
Cale Says:

Mooney Suzuki! Duh.

A couple others I found on the internets:

The electronic band Egebamyasi, formed by Scottish musician Mr Egg in 1984, after Can’s album Ege Bamyasi

Hunters & Collectors after a song on the Landed album

Kanye West has sampled “Sing Swan Song” on his song “Drunk & Hot Girls” from his 2007 album “Graduation”

The U.K. band Loop was deeply influenced by Can for their repetitive polyrhythmic style, covering Can’s “Mother Sky” on their Fade Out album.
