Hey there delilah - plain white t's a thousand miles - vanessa carlton bizarre love traingle - frente no one - alicia keys bubbly - colbie caillat wonderwall - oasis (my first choice) Just a random thought that popped into my head when I saw your question..sing "Que Sera" by Doris Day. =P Isn't that an acoustic song? Stop making it appear as though you have some huge repertoire of songs, and just play the only two that you know. Bad Fish - Sublime Plush - Stone Temple Pilots Creep - STP Jolene- Cake Trains - Porcupine Tree Good Riddance (Time of your life) -Green Day Landslide - Fleetwood Mac Yesterday - Beatles Everlong- Foo Fighters There are so many songs out there.. just find one that you feel comfortable singing..and make it your own As "sung" by Mike Meyers, in "So I Married an Axe-Murderer."

Your Q just reminded me of that movie, that's all. Other ideas: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Coffee Shop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n4FCCxp39... I am just a lousy burn Searching for the unknown crumb The crumb the crumb Something or someone to come Come along illuminate my lust Combust Confucius might have been confused And Buddha might have blown a fuse Jooze the muse Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hotspot Back and forth my body?1s jerking Will to thrill will not stop working Work and work I?1ll take you on a honeymoon Jumping on a bed in a hotel room The room the groom Meet me at the coffee shop We can dance like Iggy Pop Another go in the parking lot Frewak the cheek on your hotspot It'd be interesting to hear it acoustically. Even More Ideas: air traffic - shooting star the red jumpsuit apparatus - your guardian angel the used - the taste of ink 3 doors down - here without you madina lake - escape from here skillet - whispers in the dark skillet - comatose Oh, Summertime by Sublime - probably the best suggestion I have. Sing songs you already know well and play flawlessly from memory. One week before the gig is NOT the time to be learning and memorizing new material. You're more likely to forget chord changes or lyrics and screw up, and then you'll come off looking unprepared and amateurish -- which you will be. Don't even think about getting up on stage with a music stand and tab sheets or sheet music -- that's just not done. REAL folk musicians perform from memory and/or by ear. Imagine - Lennon Me and Mr Jones - Counting Crows Lyin' Eyes - Eagles Anything from my bands song list -click repertoire http://somethingblack.com I would sing whatever songs you really like to sing and think would be good for that atmosphere, something really mellow, or whatever songs come to your mind and stay there. But for suggestions, would you like to sing Edelweiss from The Sound of Music ? Or something Viennese, like Wien, Wien, nur du allein....? although that probably would be new to you * it would be nice to find a song with a guitar interlude, so you could just play the music, and then re-join it later Whatever you sing, have a lovely evening x Play a song that goes with your personality and your look.
