My chairdance/must-sing-along to songs are pretty predictable, for the most part:
A whole bunch of stuff by MCR (off of all their albums, actually)
Plasticine by Placebo
Guitar Hero by Amanda Palmer
Days of Swine & Roses or Devilbunnies by My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
Bloodletting by Concrete Blonde
Nobody Likes You When You're Dead by Zombina and the Skeletones
Fairytale of New York by the Pogues
This Is Halloween from the Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack
... and of course, the song that I will listen to on repeat for hours on end, Last Of The Famous International Playboys by Morrissey. I think I need to listen to it right now, actually.
Remembered another one:
Stevie Wonder- Uptight (Everything's Alright)
Stevie - SIR DUKE
Alterted Images - Happy Birthday
Lady Marmalade
Rob Base - It Takes 2 or Joy & Pain
Nanci Griffith - Ford Econoline

I was sort of surprised how little there seems to be for prince or princess, so I would particularly welcome suggestions with those. I must say, with most royal titles being famous singer or group names, it wasn't easy to find new things.
Also, if anyone has "King Tut" and can post it to brawk, I would love to add it.
Thanks!

I do!
I'll post it when I get home. Plus I can search my iTunes library for more royalty.
eta: Oh wait - I think I bought "King Tut" from iTunes. So I'd have to burn it to CD and then rip it. So if anyone else has it already in mp3, speak up....
"King Only", Twilight Singers (without relation to my Greg Dulli fixation, it's such a thing of beauty)
"Duchess", Scott Walker/Gutter Twins
"Jewish Princess", Frank Zappa
"The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. One", "The King of Carrot Flowers Pt. Two", Neutral Milk Hotel
"The Duke", Blind Melon
Will brawk if needed.
I don't think I should put something called Jewish Princess on a work playlist, but I'd love any of the others. Thanks Shir!
No problem, megan - I'm going to bed now, but will brawk them all (but Zappa) tomorrow morning.
No rush, this doesn't go up until January.
And thanks to Tommyrot as well.
One great thing about doing these playlists is that it gets me to check out CDs from the library that I would never hear otherwise.
Case in point:
The Country Side of Elvis
= Awesome.
