Upon entering my apartment, my new roommate spotted my guitars. He asked if I play. "A little bit," I said. "Nothing serious. Like chords and a few scales, no real solo potential I'm afraid."
"What's your song?" he asked.
"My song?" I said. I didn't quite get what he was talking about.
"Yeah, your song. Everyone who only plays a little bit of guitar has a song they play when they pick one up. It's to make it look like you're better than you are. Mine is 'Sweet Home Alabama.'"
That's when i realized that he was right, we crap guitar players do all have songs we play to impress people. It's normally a song with a mix of easy picking and open chords. It's not very hard but it's always recognizable and always sing-along-able. My song is "Comfortably Numb."
So, what's yours, crap guitar players of Indaba? Confess in the comments.

Ok I confess I play a song that is practically impossible to mess up as it consists of two easy chords. A Horse No Name. :)
