What are some good guy songs?#0

Hey everybody! I am going to be performing my own concert in the fall as a fundraiser for the community choir that I am in. Kind of crazy, considering I am only 17. Anyway, I have been ooking for ideas of songs to include. I have a lot of things in mind, but not very many comedic pieces. I have loved the female songs "Taylor the Latte Boy," "The Alto's Lament," and others, but I do not know of very many guy songs that are funny. If you guys have any ideas, let me know. I am really excited for this show and I want to blow people away. I really appreciate your help. If you want to, you can hear a little clip of me on a website, singing "God Bless the USA." If you go under "Past performances," you should be able to find it. Sorry it wasn't my best, due to having strep throat.

Sorry, meant to say "looking" instead of "ooking." Also, I forgot the website name: http://www.redmountainmusic.org I guess Spring Break is already having a negative affect on my brain.

Casey-
Wow! Great voice! Here are my favorite songs to hear guys sing, but since I'm a girl I'm not sure how vocally challenging they are for guys (so if anyone wants to provide commentary and them, please do!):

Being Alive-from Company
I Won't Send Roses-from Mack and Mable ***this is golden****
Maria-West Side Story
Luck, Be a Lady-from Guys and Dolls
High, Flying Adored-from Evita
Younger than Springtime-from South Pacific
If Ever I Would Leave You-from Camelot
On The Street Where You Live-My Fair Lady
Impossible Dream-Man of La Mancha
The Sadder-but-Wiser Girl-from The Music Man***this is a great comedic song***
The Surrey with the Fringe on Top-from Oklahoma

That's my list for now! Hope it helps a little!
Always,
~m~

Good Guy Songs#5

My personal favorite would be:
I'm Calm (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum)
It's a really funny spaz-out song.

Here are a few other thoughts.

I Can Do That (A Chorus Line)
Love, I Hear (A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum)
All I Care About (Chicago)
Razzle Dazzle (Chicago)
She Cries (Songs for a New World)
What Do I Need with Love? (Thoroughly Modern Millie)

Good luck!

A few of mine are old chestnuts:


I Wish I Were In Love Again from Babes in Arms (duet but can be sung solo)

My Father's a Homo from Falsettos

I Love A Film Cliche from A Day In Hollywood/A Night In the Ukraine (once again can be sung as a solo)

Late Late Show from Do Re Mi

Everybody Says Don't from Anyone Can Whistle

Music of Fats Waller that can be found in Ain't Misbehavin':
Your Feets Too Big
Ladies Who Sing With The Band
Fat & Greasy

Music of Johnny Burke that can be found in Swinging on a Star:
Annie Doesn't Live Here Anymore
Scatterbrain
Personality

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Thank you so much! Once I get back from serving a mission for my church, I will be 21. By then, my voice will have matured quite a bit. Then I will pursue my dream.
