"You've Got to Be Carefully Taught" (SOUTH PACIFIC)

"If You Can See Her" from the CABARET revival

Praying Decca Broadway will put "Don't Bother Me, I Can't Cope" on CD!

The Heat is on in Saigon from Miss Saigon

Lovely Ladies from Les Miz

Black Boys and White Boys from Hair

theres alot of perverted things in Debbie Does Dallas as well, Im sure something from there would be appropriate.

Here's an obscure one for you:

The whole score from Prettybelle is an obscure gem filled with offensive numbers. Some of them are actually good.

You got it. I mean, if you want to do something flat out, burn down the barn offensive, do a concert version of PRETTYBELLE with a narrator giving the audience the story as the show progresses from song to song. I guarantee you'll have a SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER moment.

I can't think of any right now, but this sounds like it could be a very funny idea for a show....

"Have a Nice Day" cut from LA CAGE

With lyrics like: "If it weren't for the dykes and jews and the n*s and spics - we could all have a nice day!"

It was perfect for the character singing it!

You could do whole medleys on different themes... "The Sexuality Song", "Relegion Medley" etc

"In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."

Michael Bennett, I can't see Jerry Herman writing someting like that. Interesting.

Anything from Jerry Springer the Opera - the piano selections are available from Dress Circle. 'I just wanna f**kin' dance' is a beautiful song...

Well, he wrote it for a racist character in the show - its not as if he wrote it for his lounge act.

The song, though cut from LA CAGE, did appear on Broadway in JERRY'S GIRLS. Dorothy Loudon, of course, tore it up and made it awfully hilarious.

CONTACT from RENT? SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER? SOMEBODY KILL ME from THE WEDDING SINGER? I'm drawing a bit of a blank right now, but if you ever follow me around work for a day, you'll hear me singing many inappropriate songs. The more I know I shouldn't be singing 'em, the more I can't get them out of my head. :3

If you're not solely using theatre songs, pretty much anything by Stephen Lynch. Check him out on iTunes.

If you'll consider something besides theater songs, check out Richard Cheese. He does Vegas Lounge Singer versions of contemporary rock and hip hop songs. His bossa nova version of "Baby Got Back" is not to be missed.

"You Ain't Hurtin' Your Old Lady None" from "Prettybelle"

"Dante', Petrach and Poe" from "Lolita, My Love" (I'm not exactly sure on the title of the song, but it's about famous men in literature who were in love with teenage girls.)
