Useful detail

Performance tip

Count the unusual opening carefully and keep the vocal loose; the off-center feel is part of the song.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

“Cannonball” is a strong choice for a 1990s alternative crowd that knows the song, especially when the audience knows the hook. The verses need steady timing, but the chorus gives the room an obvious place to help.
