I Want you to Want Me has the great handclapping at the end. Crowds love to clap along! Bonus I already have it on my iTunes.
I'd kind of like to sing something newer but...I can't really remember the popular songs of the 90s or the 00s!

"(I Can't) Breakaway" by Big Pig,
Awesome!
IMO, Big Pig's Bonk is one of the best albums of the past 20 years. Seriously. If I ever sang a slow rocker anywhere but my shower, especially for karaoke, I'd sing "Devil's Song."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What about Crazy by Gnarls Barkley? Or (to go old-but-goofy)Uptown Girl by Billy Joel?

any of the educational types around here ever heard of the People to People exchange program?
It's legit. The catch is, of course, that you have to pay for the trip somehow.
I did a quick search and don't see any lawsuits or bad press.

I posted to the list-serv for parents and grad student parents at work and disposed of an infant car seat, crib, and bouncer in about 3 hours, and had at least 6 people waiting as backups. Pregnant grad students LOVE free baby stuff.

Yeah, figured as much. And of course, they would invite her to Australia. What I can't figure out from a cursory search of the site, is what criteria they used to invite her (if there is any). From what I can see, most kids can just apply to the program, but this came out of the blue, as an actual invitation, on really nice linen-weave paper.

ahahahahahah. I would be MURDERED by my best friend. There was a pet boutique in our neighborhood for a while (really out of place...it wasn't even a pet store! Just fancy pet clothes) called Uptown Dog. And every time we went past I'd sing Uptown Dog to the tune of Uptown Girl to make my friend NUTSO!
What about Crazy by Gnarls Barkley?
hmmmm I wonder if I could do it justice?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Well, you've managed to replace "Fish Heads" with "Welcome to the Jungle" as earworm of today, so thank you.
Eat em up, yum!

Wordplay just came up on iTunes. I could see that working well for karaoke (although I'm currently partial to "Butterfly" right now. I love that he wrote that song about a stripper.)
There's always Jimmy Buffet too-- Fins is always popular karaoke material around here.

I think kids are nominated, but then still have to go through an application process of some sort. [link]
We learn about many of these students through recommendations from teachers, school administrators, and Student Ambassador alumni. We find out about others through national academic listings. These are the same listings that top colleges and universities use to find their applicants.
Invited students are asked to submit letters of recommendation and participate in an interview with local delegation leaders to gain acceptance into the program.
