Best Use Of Accordion

I voted for Lasagna. I've said many times that it's my favorite song. Al and TBITB just sound like they're having so much fun, and the accordion work is fabulous! I was so happy that Al included Lasgna in the Medley. Made this fan girl very happy, indeed!

I like yoda live...and in Ode to a superhero I believe it is Billy's wonderful paino solo that has been accordionized.

I think you're right, Waldo. Yes, there is some harmonica in Piano Man, but the solo in that song is played on the piano. Heck, there's even some accordion near the end of Piano Man. Billy plays, too.

Yes Paino man has accordian in it, and Al added more by replacing the PAINO solo with accordian too.

Eddie Vedder for me.

I actually like the accordion sound better, so adding more accordion to the melody was a great idea! and I love OTSH!

Lasagna is still #1 with me

I voted for Syndicated Inc. I think Al's accordian work is great in the song.( Maybe not as much as in other songs, but I felt sorry for it.) Rember Al could only change the lyrics, listen to the original and you'll see (or hear rather) it is a great parody, and the accordian works great in the song.

I had to go with Eddie Vedder. I immediately fell in love with that song, and there's one reason - accordion.

Exactly. You know I wish the boys would do some instrumental stuff in concert where they could really show their chops. They're all such great musicians and that too often gets lost in the comedy.

Accordian on MBILWEV is the BEST...when I think of some of Al's finest accordian (not live, that is...

) Eddie Vedder is the first to come to mind!

Uh, the song, not the man.
