The ultimate party song, You Never Even Called Me by My Name.
You are in a party, someone hand you a guitar, what would you play?

The few times it’s happened I’ll do the intro to Joplin’s Summerime”. If I’m sorta feeling it I’ll continue while trying to get someone to sing. If I’m not feeling it I’ll hand the guitar back and admit my hands hurt and thank them for the opportunity

I played the Twelfth of Never until some fat guy in a toga took the guitar and hit me over the head with it

Me and my wife were in an underground club in Prague once and they were passing around an acoustic guitar. My wife said "if it comes to me I'll play What Can You do with a Drunken Sailor," but the guy right before her played it.

Jackie Wilson Said- Van / Dexy's. Guaranteed singalong even with folks who don't know the tune.
'Too-ra-langa-langa, too-ra-langa-lang'
'Too-ra-langa-langa, too-ra-langa-lang'
Ooh, good choice.
I never go to parties, so this is purely hypothetical. Despite that, I’m the kind of guy who likes to be prepared “just in case” so I have two such songs at the ready: Michael Penn’s “No Myth” and Joe Jackson’s “Is She Really Going Out With Him?”

Especially if it's a party at my house, because it depresses folks and they leave.

I somehow have Don't Think Twice It's All Right and Just Like Tom Thumb's Blues fully memorized with a nice little solo. I think I also know a couple of Mississippi John Hurt tunes to the same level, I can bang that stuff out anytime.

Depends on the vibe.
If it’s low key and groovy I’d probably play and sing Sweet Melissa.
Upbeat...ain’t no telling.

My favorite G C D C medley: parts of La Bamba/Sloopy/Wild Thing/Louie Louie/Angel of the Morning/Good Lovin' (with the A)/La Bamba.

Nothing gets me to completely forget everything I know like being asked to play something.

Then, “My Funny Valentine” singing it directly to my precious wife....
In my head, through the miracle of self-delusion, it would sound like this:
Outside my head, back at the party, it would sound like this:

Last time it happened to me I played this.......
I was lucky enough to meet and have a natter with Eric a few years back, what a nice fella!

That's actually the title of a James Taylor song and George use the title to write something
I would just go with something people like right away like Fire by Bruce Springsteen or Take it Easy
* just my experience at our baby-boomer-age skewed gigs ( older folks playing old music for other older folks, Ha!)
Or " Three Little Birds"
