Help with song choice, please?#0

Hey, I'm doing a theater competition in January. My friend and i are looking for an upbeat (preferably funny), female duet to use. Any suggestions? We are both altos (she has a better range than i do, though). I would really appreciate any help i can get.

I second the I Move On... although Take me Or leave me is a good song, it is very dominated by maureen.

One that could be done if you are both good dancers/movers that isnt funny but if well done can knock the socks off of people is "Baby Dream Your Dream" from Sweet Charity. Check it out, its a great duet and shouldnt be overlooked.

I guess "In his eyes" is too high...
how about "Anything you can do" you could do that as a girl-girl song and it's great for acting,if you use the Bernadette Peters version :) My friend did this at a competition with her best friend and they got the first prize.
"I know him so well"might be a little overdone
"Take me or leave me" is the greatest

"Bosom Buddies" from Mame was what came to my mind first. A fun song that's not done too much and has a great opportunity to act as well. Listen to it... and don't get scared off by the scary woman's voice... not Angela Lansbury... the other one. Cause it's kinda scary. :) good luck!

I'd go with either Solid Silver Platform Shoes or Two's Company from The Magic Show. Another favorite of mine is We Share Everything from Side Show.

for good really isnt an upbeat song. and it requires the one singing elphaba to get up there.
