Just ignore her dude...she always gets on me for it too...

STOP BEING A GRAMMAR NAZI AND HAVE FUN...there's some Caps for you.

I can't help you with your question though..I'm sorry. I'm not good at picking out songs for myself let alone a male! :) good luck though!

to attempt to help you..I think this is a tenor song though *I know nothing about male voices soo*
"What do I need with Love" from Thoroughly Modern Millie--I love that song...

lemme do some looking and then I'll come back..:)

these are in the musical theatre anthologies for baritone/bass
FOUND SOME!:
Marian the Librarian *always liked this song* Music Man
Me-Beauty and the Beast--Gaston's song..funny too!
All I Care About-Chicago
The Devil You Know-Side Show...A guy at my school sang this in our Cabaret and it was AWESOME!! it's slower than fast...but it's got a good beat to it!

Here's one that I do
"All I need is the Girl" from Gypsy......it does get into a high G, but it's upbeat, and you might can play around with it......also "King Herod's Song" from Jesus Christ Superstar, I think it includes so G's too, but it's upbeat and you can play around with it too......
"The Man from La Mancha"......not too sure on the range, but Brian Stokes Mitchell isn't really a tenor and he did it, so perhaps that will work for you too......

"she always gets on me for it too... "

Hey, I have to be fair; I won't single any one person out.

I can sing most of "What Do I Need With Love", and I'm also a baritone (Bass 1/Tenor 2). That'd be a great one.

This list was posted a while back, I bookmarked it, knowing it would come in handy sooner or later

"What do I need with Love" has a lot of high G's that you can't really play around with, which is why I didn't list it because I was thinking about it, but if you can pull it off, it would be a good one too......

Hey Lizzie, you have to give him some credit. I mean, they did put capitals in. They simply have to...refine the technique.

Sorry, I'm an English Nazi, too. But it's for the greater good!!!!
