Hey guys -

I'm pretty new around here, so I'm not sure if there are similar threads, but this question came to me while I was playing guitar today.

What Barenaked Ladies songs can everyone play? Whether it be guitar, keyboards, bass, or any other instrument.

I'm a new guitar player, I decided to fix up an old guitar I had laying around last month and start playing it. I had never played the guitar before, but it was definitely Steve's lyrics and Ed's guitar prowess that inspired me to do so. Here's my ever-growing arsenal:

Songs I've learned:

War on Drugs (First song I ever learned on guitar)
Bull in a China Shop
Brian Wilson
The Old Apartment
One Week
What a Good Boy
Straw Hat And Old Dirty Hank
Raisins
You Run Away

Songs that are on my "to-learn" list:

Call and Answer
Lovers in a Dangerous Time
Go Home
Tonight is the Night...

Playing guitar gives me a much more productive way to spend my free time, and it's satisfying to learn a song and perform it.

What about everyone else?
