Stevie Wonder is playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is
absolutely packed to the rafters.
In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he asks if anyone would
like him to play a request.
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and
shouts at the top of his voice "Play a Jazz chord! Play a jazz chord!".
Amazed that this guy knows about the jazz influences in Stevie's varied
career, the blind impresario starts to play an E minor scale and then
goes into a difficult jazz melody for about 10 minutes. When he finishes
the whole place goes wild.
The little old man jumps up again and shouts, "No, no, play a Jazz
chord, play a Jazz chord".
A bit pissed off by this, Stevie, being the professional that he is,
dives straight into a jazz improvisation with his band around the B flat
minor chord and really tears the place apart. The crowd goes wild with
this impromptu show of his technical expertise.
The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. Play a Jazz chord, play a
jazz chord".
Well and truly pissed off that this little guy doesn't seem to
appreciate his playing ability. Stevie says to him from the stage "OK
smart ass. You get up here and do it!"
The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and
starts to sing ..... " A jazz chord, to say, I ruv you..."

Thereby proving that Gary is 'alright' and that Vic is a cunt.

Who'd have thought it.

Jim Reeves was playing his first gig in Tokyo and the place is
absolutely packed to the rafters.
In a bid to break the ice with his new audience he asks if anyone would
like him to play a request.
A little old Japanese man jumps out of his seat in the first row and
shouts at the top of his voice "Play the Big Horse Song! Play the Big Horse Song!"
Ignoring this guy, the now dead country singer starts to play 'Distant Drums' but he little old man jumps up again and shouts, "No, no, Play the Big Horse Song! Play the Big Horse Song!".
A bit pissed off by this, Jim, being the professional that he is,
dives straight into "He'll Have to Go." The crowd goes wild at
this old classic .
The little old man jumps up again. "No, no. No, no, Play the Big Horse Song! Play the Big Horse Song!".
Well and truly pissed off that this little guy doesn't seem to
appreciate his songs. Jim says to him from the stage "OK
smart ass. You get up here and do it!"
The little old man climbs up onto the stage, takes hold of the mike and
starts to sing ..... "I ruv you, Big Horse, you understand me..."

shades of peter sellers' old "that's what you are" joke

similar sort of layout -- chap coming up repeatedly asking for Request - "that's what you are". no one in the band gets it, stalls him a few times, finally band asks Can you sing us a part of it?

"Unforgettable,
That's what you are"
