Guys, I am tired of playing Oleo so much. What are some of your other favorite RC tunes to play?

Cotton Tail. Older than Oleo, I know, but a great head.
Seven Come Eleven is fun too. (In Ab rather than Bb, with a slightly different bridge, but a fun tune, and a *guitar player's* rhythm head.)

I forgot about Wee that's a fun head! Shaw Nuff might be a fun project.

Yup. Try it at a gig when no one is paying attention. They wake up immediately if they remember it and shout out stuff like "Isn't that the cartoon thing?"

Let's have Barney and Herb show us how it's done:

Well, that's good enough for me. I love "Oleo" but agree with you; overdone. I also avoid the tune from which the progression gets its name; it's great but every time people hear it they keep looking to the door expecting F. Scott Fitzgerald to come in with some flappers and start doing the Charleston.
