Chris Thile 2013-10-02 Set Me Up With One Of Your Friends 

Worth it. Iv'e waited all night and even had to fight off Led Zepplin's John Paul Jones for front row.

Thanks! I didn't know which video came next. :-)

was 2 seconds from a downvote. good thing i read faster than i type when im drunk lol

@@timmyturner7514 hear hear!

I wish he would record it and put it on an album too, but I don't think he ever has. He just occasionally plays it live.

I hope he won't have any ex-girlfriends. :)

Nathanial Ramsey there's a basic outline here. tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/c/chris_thile/set_me_up_with_one_of_your_friends_crd.htm It's set up to play with a capo at fret 1 though, which isn't the way he does it.

@@Alephnullful Nobody uses a capo on a mandolin, thats crazy

It's "poppy" because the lyrics are the focus. It's funny and light hearted; not meant to be the usual depth of character that his other songs exhibit. And anyway, how "poppy" can a song be played exclusively with mandolin accompaniment?

Your trying too hard there PaxMano33... This is a solo show where he is entertaining a live audience. This isn't the title track to his new solo album this is a fun song to pep people up after long flawless instrumental renditions of Bach. You ever go to shows and the band your seeing throws a strange cover song out there to liven people up? Take that and add the fact that Chris Thile is already known as someone who uses humor in his performances (even on his "serious" projects)... and you got? Hey, if you think this is too poppy you probably dont want to search for Nickel Creek's cover of "Toxic" by Brittany Spears... or do you? Have some fun douche-bag

...You should watch his video on genre hopping.

If you've ever read any of Chris' posts on Twitter, you'd know he's a jokester with a sharp wit and a Pythonesque sense of humor. Not everything he does has to be serious and ponderous.

You've clearly never listened to anything on his "The Deciever" album where he stretches his pop muscles and "gets it out of his system."
