What would be your American Idol audition song

Overkill by Men at Work

 

"When I'm With You," by Sheriff.

I'd nail it.

 

Every Rose has its Thorns.

 

Two songs in this world manage to match my miniscule scale range.

One is Puddle of Mudd's "She Fucking Hates Me."

The other is Freddie and the Dreamers' "I'm Telling You Now."

For AI, I might do a medley of the two. That should go over big-time.

 

maybe I'd just go with The Troggs' "Wild Thing"

although just for a laugh, it might be tempting to try a Paula Abdul song

 

I forgot a third: Herman's Hermits' "Henry the VIII."

I nail that sucker.

 

The Lady is a Tramp, a la Sinatra.

 

"Sherry" by Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons.

I would definitely kick ass on that. No question.

 

"I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor or "Dancing Queen" by Abba....all for sentimental reasons.

 

Free Bird

 

"Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood.

 

They'd want me to play my radio hit, but I'd do an obscure punk cover just to fuck with them [grungereferenceatleastafewpeoplewillappreciate].
