LOL.
"You can't overrate Bernadette Peters. She is such a genius. There's a moment in "Too Many Mornings" and Bernadette doing 'I wore green the last time' - It's a voice that is just already given up - it is so sorrowful. Tragic. You can see from that moment the show is going to be headed into such dark territory and it hinges on this tiny throwaway moment of the voice." - Ben Brantley (2022)
"Bernadette's whole, stunning performance [as Rose in Gypsy] galvanized the actors capable of letting loose with her. Bernadette's Rose did take its rightful place, but too late, and unseen by too many who should have seen it" Arthur Laurents (2009)
"Sondheim's own favorite star performances? [Bernadette] Peters in ''Sunday in the Park,'' Lansbury in ''Sweeney Todd'' and ''obviously, Ethel was thrilling in 'Gypsy.'' Nytimes, 2000

Harry Nilsson's "I'd Rather Be Dead (Than Wet My Bed)" was designed for nursing home sing-alongs, and was recorded at one. That said, it's probably not appropriate to use...
For what it's worth, last winter I sang with a caroling trio at a retirement community's country club, and the patrons had lots of early to mid sixties requests. Love theme from Dr. Zhivago, Funiculi Funicula, "anything from Fiddler on the Roof," and a big singalong on "Those Were the Days, My Friend."
