Tally Hall would perform Cecilia as an encore in their acoustic set in 2010, with tour guests Skybox and Jukebox The Ghost. Tally Hall chose Cecilia because of a poster Rob Cantor bought with the word "HOOTENANNY" on it, which led them to wanting a "hootenanny" song to do with Skybox and Jukebox The Ghost, of which they considered it the best "hootenanny" song.[1]
Other songs considered included Tiny Dancer by Elton John, the Big Red chewing gum jingle, and Real McCoy's Another Night.[1]
