Song to Open the Second Half

I was just listening to RM (as I do most days!) and heard the CRB version of "Tequila". Got me to thinking.....
We're all now conditioned to the fact that when the recording of "Hot, Hot, Hot" plays another JB concert is about to begin.
Wouldn't the playing of "Tequila" be a suitable way to announce the start of the second half? Anybody else have a thought or another suggestion?

Cheeseburger in Paradise. Because it is my least favorite song. And for the first song of the second half I am still urinating. Yup. Lots of urine.

I think the last couple tours he's used one of his own songs, if you want to look at recent history.
This past tour they played videos from Anguilla at the two shows I went to, and I think also used videos from his gig in Paris earlier this year as well.
At the shows I went to last year, they showed a music video of Trip Around the Sun at one show, a tailgate video set to Fruitcakes and a video of Jake Shimabukuro playing the Star Spangled Banner.
Sometimes they've had little humorous videos (the Indiana James video comes to mind) as well.

Don't forget the Johnny Carson bit..

I'm not a huge fan of tequila. The song and the drink...
I liked it in 2005 when Jimmy opened the second act acoustic on the surfboard bench during some shows.

OK, maybe this wasn't such a good idea..... Like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist?
I'll do better next time!

Hey don't feel bad, the government does a perfectly good job doing exactly that!
I think it might be cool to open the second half with one of the band members doing one of their own songs solo (a la Mac doing In the City or Peter doing Blue Guitar or Nadirah doing one of the songs on her new album, etc.)

Sure
Forgot he wrote it - just knew it first came out on a PM Group album and automatically attributed it to Peter Mayer. I know they didn't write the songs, but I also love hearing Peter Mayer doing Waiting in Vain and loved hearing Nadirah do Wonder Why We Ever Go Home.
