And, I wrote earlier:

leave it in obscurity after one or two tries. 

Which means, it wasn't the right time or the right place FOR US. We give it
the try, and if it works, then it is a good tune for us.  "For us" is the
key word, as each & every band has its sound & aim.  Not all well-known
tunes work for us, either, but are usually easier to thrust on the audience.
