| | 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.)

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.
