Well now, I've found myself in a pickle.

I have this bard, and he was supposed to be just a terrible singer song writer. However, just now he decided to launch into a mandolin cover of the Beatles yellow submarine.

Yes, Yellow Submarine.

This causes surprisingly little story issue, except that I now have to think of other random songs for him to sing.

Any suggestions for songs you'd never expect to come across in a fantasy?

Absolutely anything by Billy Joel. :D "Uptown Girl," "Allentown," "The Longest Time," "River of Dreams," the list goes on. "The Entertainer" is particularly appropriate for a bard.
