What if Carol Channing Starred in...

I do a pretty good Carol Channing impersonation, and my friends and I have a game called "What if Carol Channing Starred In..." where they say the name of a musical that Carol Channing was NOT in, and I sing a song from the show in my Carol Channing voice.

For example, just think of Carol Channing in Rent singing "Today 4 U." Pretty funny, right?

The whole thing cracks my friends and family up so much, I've decided I'm going to post some on youtube.

So that said, any ideas of shows or songs that would be awful but hysterical if Carol Channing sang them? If you have any suggestions, post them below.

Pgenre, First Wives Club is awful/hysterical (without meaning to be so) no matter who stars in it.

Links will be posted once I make a few videos. Just did the audio today for "Today 4 U"

I took my boyfriend to see "First Wives Club" in San Diego for his birthday. We walked out of the show knowing that the rest of his 26th year could only go up from there.

Now to get this thread back on track, here are some songs I want to do as Carol...

“My New Philosophy” from You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown
“A Call From the Vatican” from Nine
“Aquarius” from Hair
“Getting Married Today” from Company
“Pick a Little, Talk a Little” from The Music Man
“Wouldn’t it be Loverly” from My Fair Lady
“My Strongest Suit” from Aida
“And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” from Dreamgirls
“I Enjoy Being a Girl” from Flower Drum Song

More suggestions are welcome

Not Broadway-related, but I'd LOVE to hear Carol Channing do Madonna's "Erotica."

No, not "Erotica"... do "Justify My Love"! Or "Justify My Thug" Jay-Z's version from THE BLACK ALBUM! In addition to a FWC song, of course! Pretty please! I need to hear the "Wanting. Needing..." part!

Back in the '60s, there was a feature in Playbill having to do with unlikely casting choices, accompanied by a Hirschfeld drawing. One of them was Carol Channing as Lady Macbeth. True, there would be no songs for her to sing in this, but if singing is required, she could always do one of the arias from Verdi's opera.

Hahahaha JP, think we could do a Carol/Harvey duet? I'm thinking "Sue Me" from Guys and Dolls, "Do You Love Me" from Fiddler on the Roof, or "Tonight" from West Side Story

That would be AMAZING.

I have a friend who does a killer LuPone (whom you all have probably seen on youtube) and have been trying to duet with him for a while. Haha.
