The discussion here on DJML often is "Attracting the young crowd to OKOM.

Sure, we can play the beatles.  remember the Beattles music is 43 years old.

Sure we can play Hello Dolly, even Wonderful World, etc.  But to play the 
music that the (for instance, 18 - 20 year olds will identify with, the 
songs have to be within the last 10 years.

What songs out in the last 10 years work in tie style of Dixieland or OKOM?
