college Drag show tryouts! which song should I preform to?

[JAbuchan08]

I haven't dressed in drag since I was ten and my sister dressed me up. What song should I tryout with?
I was thinking Barbie girl or Romeo (basement jaxx) What are your suggestions.

1. this should be in the lounge

but how about "it's raining men"

[PissedOffPollyana]

25. Great drag queen song!

Or... how about something from Hedwig & the Angry Inch. Hedwig is one of the best drag characters ever created and there are some great songs on the soundtrack to choose from. Beside, they are written for a middle to high range man's voice, so they're quite a bit easier to pull off if you need to sing.

2. What else?

"I Enjoy Being a Girl!"

[JAbuchan08]

4. who does that one?

what album is it on?

[larryepke]

10. It's a REAL oldie!

It's by Rogers and Hammerstein, from the show "Flower Drum Song."

[JAbuchan08]

14. Yeah I remember that!

South Pacific right? That would be a good one. It's definitely an improvement over ass-chaps and "its raining men" (nothing wrong with the song itself; I just like more subtelty).

[Dogmudgeon]

3. A singularly *puissant* choice

"F**k My Pussy" by Pussy Tourette.

Beyond drag. Beyond TG. Beyond just about anything.

7. That's probably a little bit more over the top than I would want to go

I just want to dress like a girl for one night - it's not exactly a lifestyle choice. I do want to be genuine though. Last year a bunch of frat-guys pretty much demeaned the whole idea of the show. The GLBT president even wrote a scathing editorial about it. I just want to bring it back to respectibility.

I'm trying to go for classy.

5. "I will survive" or its "raining men"

always popular

[BurtWorm]

6. On a very early SNL, a "construction worker" stripped down

to lace panties, nylons and a bra while singing, "I've Gotta Be Me." That was pretty radical for network TV in 1974. It might be fun to steal that.

[tkulesa]

8. So Many Men

LOL. Always a favorite.

"So many men, so little time
How can I choose?

"So many men, so little time
How can I loose?...

[La_Serpiente]

9. I'll tell you what you should wear

You should throw on a pair of leather ass chaps, a vest, and wear some high heel pumps without a strap.

[JAbuchan08]

11. Class ladies and gentleman,

class. I can't emphasize that enough. The whole problem with last years show was who sexist and homophobic it was last year. They turned it into one big sexist gay joke, and I want to make it fun . . .but classy.

13. What school do you attend?

?

[JAbuchan08]

15. I go to DU, the shows not for a while yet, but I was looking ahead on the

school calender, and since I didn't get to do it last year, I figured I'd get an early start. I don't want to be the guy in the ridiculous wig acting like a bimbo for laughs. I'd rather be the guy in the stylish wig acting like a _real_ woman to induce nervous giggles from my friends.

[tedoll78]

18. Ahh..!

I went to the University of Mississippi (was prez of the GLBA there for two years), and we co-sponsored an annual drag show that was actually put-on by the very conservative frat boys there. They really got into it, really..

The last year I was there though, it turned more into a man-in-woman's clothes beauty pageant. The guys were wearing tiny tops to show-off their toned midsections, which was very pleasing to the mostly sorority and & gay male audience.

Who would've guessed though? At Ole Miss - a popular drag show? Weird..

[JAbuchan08]

23. unfortunately I don't have the body for a tube top.

I'm nice and thin - so I don't have to go for the frumpy sweater look, but I have to ugly a chest to go for anything low-cut. I'd like to go with my natural hair as well, but I'm not sure I have enough time to grow it out.

[DrWeird]

12. Jamie's Got A Gun- Aerosmith

Just because it's a great song.

[JAbuchan08]

16. one of my early thoughts was - why be feminine just because it's a drag

show. It had occured to me to be a rawk grrrl, but I wasn't sure how to balance femininty and attitude in one package. That'd be a good song to try that idea out though.

17. "Navy Blue" by Diane Renay.

It's a cute, bouncy girl group number from the early 60's about a young lady whose beau has gone away to join the Navy. If you can find you a bouffant wig, a smart little sailor suit, and a couple of backup singers, you will be the ne plus ultra of fabulosity!

Diane is still around--here's her website: http://www.dianerenay.com/

19. 10 Barbie Dolls by Pizzacato Five

more of a group act than a solo, tho.

[Beer Snob-50]

20. The Lumberjack Song

by Monty Python.

[JAbuchan08]

21. Well. . . .

I guess that would mean I could keep the beard. . .

[geniph]

22. I am woman, hear me roar!

or what was that one...I can bring home the bacon, fry it up in a pan...what WAS that song?

[mitchum]

24. "Ballad of the Green Berets"...

you'll really stand out

[GinaMaria]

26. Midnight rainin' outside

Yaz from the upstairs at Erik's album

can't remember the name of the song, but then again I said album so it must be old age :shrug:
