M/F Duet NOT romantic

Posted: 12/15/05 at 4:08pm

I'm looking for a duet for a male and a female. Both in high school, not romantic at all (I'm singing with my brother).

More information:
Boy is a Bass II
Girl is an Alto II
Preferably something more well-known
Can have a chorus in the background if necessary (e.g. Seasons of Love)

Thanks for all of your help!

Anything You Can Do I Can Do Better from Annie Get Your Gun (i dont think this would be classified as 'romantic' out of context)

A Little Priest from Sweeney Todd

"we have therapy tomorrow - it's too late to screw"
that line could be altered from Tick Tick BOOM!

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

There were a bunch of good duets written for Ethel Merman that are not necessarily romantic. In addition to the ones mentioned above:
You're the Top (Porter)
You're not Sick, You're Just in Love (Berlin)
It's Delovely (Porter)
Old Fashioned Wedding (Berlin)
You'll Never Get Away From Me (Styne/Sondheim)
Mutual Admiration Society (Dubey/Carr) not technically a M-F duet, but it could work

You'll Never Get Away From Me (Styne/Sondheim)

Thats pretty romantic, at least in the 2003 revival version. Peters lays it on heavy!

You guys have a strange concept of what a bass is.

Anything You Can Do is probably a perfect choice for you guys.

ETA: Bass II? Ok, maybe not perfect... Frank's notes aren't too too high. I'm not sure of Annie's, though

We did Annie Get Your Gun at my high school as a musical rather recently, so I wouldn't really want to do a song from that musical. It would be cute idea, had we have no done it so recently.

Thanks!

It isn't from a show but how about a good old fashioned "Unforgetabble?" If a father and daughter could do it, a brother and sister can, and it's low enough.

"Who's Got the Pain" from Damn Yankees. It's more of a dance number but it's still a duet.

Are there piano/voice selections for all of these mentioned?

I'll look into all of your suggestions, thanks!
