Your suggestions for a song a badger might be able to play?

I've been asked by a singer friend to play a few songs at one of his gigs.

He's quite versatile in what he can sing.

Any suggestions for material that we could try to perform?

what kind of songs should we suggest? rock? pop? techo ?
chris rea - looking for the summer (now that its winter ho ho ho...)
robbie williams - the road to mandalay
sting - englishman in new york
sixpence none the richer - Kiss Me (when a girl sings it, its pretty cool i dont know what voice do you have )
tanita tikaram - twist in my sobriety
ray parker jr. - ghostbusters
billy ocean - when the going gets tough, the tough get going
tears for fears - everybody wants to rule the world
pink floyd - another brick in the wall pt 2
the alan parsons project- eye in the sky

Am I too way off here?

ROTFL @ ray parker jr. - ghostbusters ...

Not sure what kind of gig it is and if the audience would enjoy it, but i like:

John Lennon - Imagine

Gazebo - I like chopin

Metallica - Nothing Else Matters


Sorry, out of ideas, not my creative day today

Well.

Whatever we do... will be rearranged for just piano and vocals.


And there are some great suggestions in there fellas, thanks.


(maybe not ghostbusters with just piano).

[logic]

: ) ) aa ok, so its only voice and piano ..than i have a different selection

Agnes Obel - Riverside
Alessandra Celletti - shooting stars
Maria Mena - im_in_love
Pink Martini - Splendor In The Grass
Pink Martini - Una Notte A Napoli (First Recording)
Pink Martini - Aspettami (First Recording)

Thanks for all your suggestions folks. There are some good ones there.


I've just had a great first rehearsal with my mate. We tried out a few song ideas and they are starting to sound quite promising.

what kind of songs should we suggest? rock? pop? techo ?

Well that's the thing... Anything can be made into a piano and vocal song (except ghostbusters). If it is basically a good song.


So that's what kind of songs I am looking for. Songs that are still good even after all of the guitars and drums and production have been stripped and thrown away.


(and that aren't too difficult for me to play)

lol out of all of logic's choices there that's the song I like the most!

hmm songs stripped back to piano and voice...

what about: SNOW PATROL - Run

I know the song has been used on TV a lot, but when done right wow what a song...the original isn't my thing but the song has lots of potential!
