"There's so many hit songs that we sort of have to do all
of those", he says. "We're not doing too many things
off the wall. We've got about a two-hour show lined up of famous
songs, basically".
He did say that the group had worked up "Truth Hits Everybody"

of some songs. And, Summers adds, everything is subject to change
