Help me pick a song.

Our annual burlesque show fundraiser for derby is coming up in a couple months. I'm going to sing a song, but I'm not sure which one yet. Suggestions? I'm going with a 50's-ish/rockabilly costume, so a song to match that would be awesome. I'm thinking something slow that I can make sultry and do a little dance to. (We keep it classy, so don't get it twisted.)

Maybe this?

This was another good suggestion.

I love this song but it's more of a love song slow dance kind of thing

That's actually the style of song I think I might go for. I need something that will fit my style of voice as well. Maybe I'll record something and post, so y'all will know what I'm working with.

 

I can't wait to see what you come up with

 

It's not Rockabilly, but it's era appropriate! :tongue:

burlesque eh? promise to post pics? ^_^

 

^^^@gongshaman Good lawd. I don't think I can make my voice do that haha.


I did a quick, shitty recording of me singing the first song I posted. I'll put it up in a minute, so ya'll have a rough idea of what my voice sounds like.

 

Maybe.... :leaving:

 

Mkay, here's me singing....perhaps this will well help with song suggestions. I did a lot of yelling at derby practice last night....so I'm aware my pitch is all shitty in parts. Also, I didn't feel like being on camera, so ya'll get to look at the light on the ceiling haha.

Ha ha yeah but the lyrics are easy :rofl:

 

Sing this ^_^

I feel like I'd have to switch from 50's/rockabilly attire, to my velvet corset and thigh high vinyl platform boots to sing that.


It's not an all together bad idea....

 

I LOVE Joan Jett!
