Hi! I'm a high school freshman looking for a song to do in a school talent show. I want something funny and quirky, something that a typical high-schooler wouldn't roll his eyes at. I don't want something stereotypically "Broadway," like Rodgers & Hammerstein (though I love them.) The past two years I've done "Mix Tape" and "I Love My Dictionary," so something along those lines. I need something appropriate for school.
I'm a soprano, but I can go pretty low as well. I don't have my exact range on hand, but my highest point is something around the "ha-ha" after "My wardrobe is expensive as the devil" in "Glitter and be Gay," and I my lowest point is the "old" in "old man river."
Here's a clip of my singing, although it sounds very "off" and isn't exactly the best representation of my voice. My computer was making the sound jump around, so I'm sort of off the music.

Anyway, does anyone have some ideas for me? Sorry for the novel.
Umm...anyone?

My favorite quirky soprano MT song is "Ice Cream" from She Loves Me, but you need to have a nice sustained B5.
