Is "She Bangs" played out??

For the record, I have a terrible voice. The only things I can sing somewhat decently are Tori Amos songs, and that's only because I've heard them so much that I can mimic her singing. SO, my whole purpose for going down and trying out for American Idol is to get on the audition rejects episode. So there you go.

Now, what song should I do that will GUARANTEE me getting on TV, but will still be subtle, so that the producers will think I seriously think I can sing?

"i wish i was a little bit taller, i wish i was a baller..."

Never heard DOn't Cha. Is it popular? I'm totally ahead of you on the changing the words. :-) I was thinking "When I'm Sixty Four" By the Beatles, but replacing sixty four w/ "six-feet four." Still too short, but funny.

Two more considerations:

1) I might be more likely to get on if I pretend like I totally didn't know the right words to a popular song - like "sitting on the day of the day.."

2) I think they still have to get licensing rights for songs, even if they just show an audition, so I need a song that'll whore out its license... like Salt n' Pepa Push It, or those motown songs they ALWAYS do on American Idol.

Oops, I meant "dock of the day" instead of "dock of the bay."

Kat said...

Oh yeah, I know it. It used to be Don't You Wish Your Boyfriend Was Swass Like me in the original, right?

Why am I thinking "My milkshake brings all the boys to the yard...?"

You'll be my total hero if you do this. Who needs teeth when you can have 15 minutes, er seconds, er whatever, of fame?

Here's to the new, better looking and more charming William Hung!

I think you should sing "ballerina girl" by Lionel Ritchie. Do it while acting like a ballerina with your hands over your head etc. At the end give a leap ballet style. Act like you're totally trying too.

You need to do "MacArthur Park". Trust me. Get all dramatic.
