I won this karaoke competition at my neighborhood festival last year and I will be a judge and also do a song to start off the competition this year. It's this Saturday and I can't think of what song to do AT ALL! I want a sort of upbeat rocker that the crowd will know but that's also unexpected. Any ideas????
"Jessie's Girl", "Hard To Handle" (Crowes version), "99 Luftballons" (but sing it Goldfinger-style), "Old-Time Rock 'n' Roll"
I'd suggest "Welcome To The Jungle", but I'm sure someone will want to sing that for their competition number.
"(I Can't) Breakaway" by Big Pig,
Awesome!
And juliana, Kristin, and I have done a mean version of "The Muppet Theme."

Kiss Me Deadly - Lita Ford. AHAHAHAHAHAHA! When we saw Sandra Bernhard a couple of years ago, she sang Christina Aguilera's Beautiful and segued into Kiss Me Deadly and it was effin brilliant! Love her!
I don't like the idea of opening a bunch of gifts in front of a crowd. There's a real expectation of performance-- oohing and aahing -- that is tiring and awkward, particularly for anyone who is just not that expressive. And you have to modulate your reaction to match the gift...it's awkward.

Is true. Much more unexpected than "Lady Marmalade".
At the last baby shower I went to, the hostess asked us to put our addresses on envelopes for the thank-you notes. At showers, frequently the only thing I find entertaining is the present opening, and it gives people who don't know each other something to talk about.
"Gloria" by ...what's her name? Maybe I'm just jealous because I can't sing it because it's too high for me.
how do you properly indicate different positions/levels at the same company? Write them out like separate jobs?
Depends on how long you were in the different jobs and how different they were, I'd say. If they were pretty similar, and it wasn't like, four years at one and three years at another, then I'd just list the one title, and the time, and the other title and the time, and put the duties together, but if one had duties that were really more important or obviously more cool or whatever, then sure, list them separate.

And from the guest's POV (or, I suppose, just *my* POV as the cranky-ass guest I am), you have to act like you really care that they got a toilet brush and then look at it when it gets PASSED AROUND.
But unless you want to come off as a guest like -- well, like *me* -- the guests have to do some performing of the oohing and aahing, though not as much as the bride.
t edit
But then I realize there are people who DIG the chance to see every. single. gift. the bride gets, whether to live vicariously or to judge how their gift measures up.
