Easy - "Poisoning pigeons in the Park" by Tom Lehrer or "Unworthy Of Your Love" from by Sondheim if I need to be sappy... but you know I do think now I would need do something from Dr. Horrible ;0)
How about some Gilbert and Sullivan: "I am the Captain of the Pinafore And a right good Captain too!" or something from Oklahoma: "Oklahoma - where the wind come sweepin down the plain" ND
A musical ... have I ever seen a musical ... of course .. Phantom of the Opera, and Annie ... oh and Song of Norway. Damn .. can't remember a single song.
Hmmmmm, Deb in a musical...now that is an odd thought. I'm essentially tone deaf. But, IF I could sing, it would be that "Climb Every Mountain" song from The Sound of Music.
It's got to have (a) a range of more than octave (b) at least one tongue twister (c) an odd chord passage or key change (d) a dramatic pause or tempo shift (e) a high note ending.
In other words, it's got to be something vocally challenging that the average Joe would never be able to pull off. Fortunately, anything in a hymn book will fit that description. I'd go with "He Lives."

ReplyDeleteHey Elbow ... How about you get a musical picked out and lay out all the parts and we all sign up???
ReplyDelete"I'm Just A Girl Who Can't Say No"
ReplyDeletefrom Oklahoma - not only a great audition piece, but a motto too!
"Don't Cry for me Argentina" from Evita...for sure...
ReplyDelete...or not...
Hey Big Spender. That can be really belted out.
ReplyDeleteI personally would like to sing it to Secretary Henry Paulson. While I slap him hard and repeatedly.
On behalf of the USA, I apologize.
