The most difficult song to master is "mnah mnah" by the Muppets. That shit is laugh out loud funny. Noone has ever come close to capturing the spirit of the original. Never heard it on harp though.
I've always had trouble with "Last Night", by Little Walter. Obviously, it isn't for the usual reasons, i.e. sheer quantity of notes, etc., but for its phrasing and its staggered runs and the tone switches.
BTW, Mr. User, I love muppet music. There's a whole subgenre of church worship music that I call "Muppet music" (disdainfully). When they come to those tunes in church I try to sing 'em in my Kermit the Frog voice; it either cracks people up or pisses 'em off, but I'm there to have a good time within MY parameters. :)

There are many versions , but none have caused me to lose bladder control like the muppet's version - even (I'm saddened to say) Christelle's great rendition.

this is a blues harp blog right,so" most difficult song" means blues song,ok ! little walter`s " roller coaster" has the most difficult runs i`ve heard in the blues idiom. i have yet to hear any other harp player play it as smooth and with that articulation... i`m talking about BLUES notJAZZ.......
