I can use it.  We're putting together a pageant talent number and after awhile, the songs all start to sound the same and I can't think of anymore.  I know other people will have other things, so figured this was a good spot to get random things I wouldn't think of.

oh god!  Some of those are definitely not pageant material  haha.  good luck!

"The Lady is a Tramp" by Frank Sinatra.

Basically every song on Justin Timberlake's "The 20/20 Experience". So good. 

OurWildKingdom

"Somebody to Love" or "Fat Bottomed Girls," Queen.
"Honky Tonk Women," Rolling Stones.
"Twentieth Century Fox," the Doors.
"Once in a Lifetime," Talking Heads.
"How Soon Is Now?" or "Bigmouth Strikes Again," the Smiths.
"Should I Stay or Should I Go?" The Clash
"Viva La Vida," Coldplay

what type of character/persona? i.e. if the person is more "thug" you're not going to have them doing a Bruno Mars number.

Right now, I'm just trying to think of different song combos, b/c he wants to do a sort of slow/fast combo.  So far all we've come up with he hasn't liked, so now I'm just trying to think of other songs to start putting together and outside of our own musical tastes.  There are some things up there I hadn't thought about at all, thanks ladies.

He really likes "Bang Bang" by Will.I.Am.  I suggested using a male cover of "Bang Bang (She Shot Me Down)" as a lead-in, but he's afraid it'll read as too cheesy for the judges.  So we're kinda back to square one.

The Entertainer by Billy Joel (and could pair well with other Billy Joel songs for the slow song, maybe Piano Man?)

Let's Dance /Dancing in the Streets or Dance Magic Dance by Bowie (and Jagger)-plus he could dress as the Goblin King!  

And now I'm going to go watch Labyrinth:)

Could you find a male cover of "Hit me with your best shot" to mix in?
