Location: Jersey Shore Band Members: 2 Instrumentation: Voice, Ukulele, Acoustic Guitar
Songs planned so far:
3 Little Birds - Bob Marley No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley Over the Rainbow - Bruddah Iz I'm Yours - Jason Mraz Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffett Rocky Raccoon - The Beatles
What some some other songs that mesh with those mentioned above, that fit into a laid-back acoustic bar at the shore setting?
I am looking for stuff that is easy to play and that the crowd will want to sing along with and drink some booze.

Bring It On Home to Me, Sam Cooke Give Me One Reason, Tracy Chapman What a Wonderful World (as performed by Louis Armstrong, don't remember who wrote it...) I've Just Seen a Face Blackbird
If they get drunk enough you can do Yellow Submarine. That's always a hit with kids and drunken crowds.

Oh, and I second Wonderwall. I just learned to play that on my uke. It's quite easy transposed to Em.

Am I the only one who read the title of this thread as "Help Make Me a Sexist" and went "What?!" before reading it correctly?
Also, I love a lot of your selections.
Also: Hey Julie - Fountains of Wayne The General - Dispatch (also Bang Bang, Outloud, Hey Hey... there are a bunch of good ones that would go well on Uke and Guitar)

I have heard that played with these same instruments a few times, I really don't like it. It is more amusing than anything.

It depends, I think. I've heard it just done for laughs, and it was pretty amusing. I've also heard people do it who pretty drastically change the style, and it can work well. Matt Weddle would be my go-to example here.
