Or the opening bars of Stairway... that normally puts a stop to any playing....
It's like the Men In Black zapper of questions.
Wouldn't want to kill the party playing some instrumental thing.
Something like wonderwall or wish you were here.

Sweet Caroline,
How deep is your love.
But they only get the one and then I hand back the guitar, people still think music is free and I prefer not to endorse that idea. What would it be like being a comedian having drunks tell you their favourite old joke or insisting you tell a stream of funnies.
My experience - read the room, keep it light and frothy, singalong. If after the first chorus they're looking at their phones... bow out gracefully.
Above all - it's about them - not you.
If someone ABSOLUTELY insists that you pick up the guitar ( I never volunteer) - play something think crowd pleaser-ish - and something they know. Now is not the time for Nick Drake or Theme From the Deer Hunter (Cavatina).
If in doubt...Oasis or Beatles.
If it's piano I'll bust out about 20 seconds of something really hard sounding and segue into tinkle twinkle or something, then we can all move on and enjoy the party
If it's an acoustic...no idea, really. Classical Gas, maybe? Or perhaps something easy by Radiohead, like Black Star or Fade Out. I haven't even touched an acoustic in 20 years or so, so I'm guessing it probably wouldn't go well.
