What Song Would You Like To Perform In Drag?

[arwalden]

I've got two that come to mind right now... "It Shoulda Been Me" and "I've Never Been To Me".

-- Allen

I might think of more later.

[Rowdyboy]

1. I'd love to do "It's Raining Men"

Sooooo rich!

[arwalden]

3. Just To Clarify... I Couldn't Do "Pretty-Drag" or "Lovely-Drag"...

or "High-fashion Drag" where unsuspecting audience members are asking "is he or isn't she?" --- No... I'd definitely be doing the comedy drag.

Trust me... I make a pretty ugly drag queen. (And somewhere there are PHOTOS to prove it.)

-- Allen

[Liberal Veteran]

9. Snicker....that makes two of us.

LOL

[Liberal Veteran]

12. Oh, yeah...we used to call that "booger drag".

I don't know if they still do.

[arwalden]

15. Booger Drag? Oh My God! I Thought I Had Heard It All...

... but that's a new one for me?

-- Allen

P.S. Where's Pagerbear... I expected him to check in on this thread.

[Rowdyboy]

14. Oh, I would be comedy drag only....

I'd be a pretty ugly woman...

[pagerbear]

24. Must see those photos!

Do they look anything like this?

[jonnyblitz]

25. i loathe that song.

it's so cliche gay...

[YellowRubberDuckie]

2. That would be a question to ask Kleeb.

Don't ask why...but please ask kleeb. lol
Duckie

[arwalden]

4. Hi Honey... Where You Been?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. I've been steaming up the Lounge....

Where have YOU Been?
Duckie

[DU9598]

6. Cher

If I Could Turn Back Time

[arwalden]

7. Do You Have The Body For It?

Could you wear the turn-back-time outfit?

[DU9598]

10. Hell yeah

But in drag I look more like a Brittany Spears - only twice for Halloween. Could also pull off a Shania Twain (sp??) with high kicks in "I Feel Like a Woman".

Although, I would prefer to be Cher riding down a chandelier.

[JohnKleeb]

41. ummm hah

Check your PMs ya fool. What song though, tough choice.

[Atlas Mugged]

5. 'Strange Fruit' - Billie Holiday

edited because I got the artist's named mixed up!

[Liberal Veteran]

8. Gloria Gaynor's "I am what I am" (yeah, it's cliche)

I am what I am
I am my own special creation
So come take a look
Give me the hook or the ovation
It’s my world
That I want to have a little pride in
My world
And it’s not a place I have to hide in
Life’s not worth a damn
Till you can say
I am what I am

I am what I am
I don’t want praise I don’t want pity
I bang my own drum
Some think it’s noise I think it’s pretty
And so what if I love each sparkle and each bangle
Why not try to see things from a different angle
Your life is a sham
Till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck
Sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
One life so it’s time to open up your closet
Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

I am what I am

I am what I am
And what I am needs no excuses
I deal my own deck sometimes the aces sometimes the deuces
It’s one life and there’s no return and no deposit
One life so it’s time to open up your closet
Life’s not worth a damn till you can shout out
I am what I am

Oh I am
Oh I am
I am, I am, I am good
I am, I am, I am strong
I am, I am, I am worthy
I am, I am, I belong

I am

I am

Ooh ooh ooh ooh I am

I am, I am, I am useful
I am, I am, I am true
I am, I am somebody
I am as good as you, ah ha
Ah ha, ooh ooh ooh ooh yes I am
Ah ah ah ah

Doo doo doo doo I am
I am, I am, I am

[arwalden]

16. I Could Do A Debby Boone Medley Of Hit

[kodi]

[MikeG]

13. Springtime for Hitler and Germany

[Misunderestimator]

17. I Love a Parade

[arwalden]

18. I'd Also Like To Do Some Judy... "The Man That Got Away"

The night is bitter,
The stars have lost their glitter,
The winds grow colder,
And suddenly you're older
And all because of
The man that got away.

No more his eager call,
The writing's on the wall,
The dreams you dreamed have all
Gone astray.
The man that won you
Has run off and undone you.
That great beginning
Has seen it's final inning,
Don't know what happened
It's all a crazy game.

No more that all-time thrill
For you've been through the mill,
And never a new love will
Be the same.

Good riddance, good-bye.
Every trick of his you're on to -
But fools will be fools and where's he gone to?

The road gets rougher,
It's lonelier and tougher.
With hope you burn up,
Tomorrow he may turn up.
There's just no letup
The livelong night and day.

Ever since this world began
There is nothing sadder than
A one-man woman
Looking for the man that got away . . .

<interlude>

A one-man woman
Looking for the man
The man that got away . . .

The man that got away . . .

19. Or Maybe Patsy... "Walkin' After Midnight"

I go out walkin' after midnight,
out in the moonlight
just like we used to do
I'm always walkin'
after midnight
searchin' for you.

I walk for miles,
along the highway,
well that's just my way,
of sayin I love you
I'm always walkin'
after midnight
searchin' for you

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on it's pillow,
maybe he's cryin' for me,
and as the skies turn gloomy,
night winds whisper to me,
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin'
after midnight,
out in the starlight,
just hopin' you may be
somewhere a walkin'
after midnight
searchin' for me

I stop to see a weepin' willow cryin' on it's pillow,
maybe he's cryin' for me,
and as the skies turn gloom,
night winds whisper to me,
I'm lonesome as I can be

I go out walkin'
after midnight,
out in the moonlight,
just hopin' you may be
somewhere a walkin'
after midnight
searchin' for me

[Beware the Beast Man]

20. Iron Man`

Or Living After Midnight...:evilgrin:

[Mortos]

21. I'm just a girl who can't say no

from Oklahoma.

[mitchum]

22. "Jesus Loves The Little Children" in a full-on Judy

[LDS Jock]

23. "Let The Eagle Soar" n/t

[pagerbear]

26. I'd be Gertrude Lawrence

Life is very rough and tumble
For a humble diseuse
One must betray one's troubles never
Whatever occurs

Night after night
Have to look bright
Whether you're well or ill
People must laught their fill
You mustn't sleep
Til dawn comes creeping.

Though I never really grumble,
Life's a jumble indeed
And in my efforts to succeed
I've had to formulate a creed.

I believe in doing what I can
In crying when I must
In laughing when I choose
Hey ho, if love were all
I should be lonely.

I believe the more you love a man,
The more you give your trust,
The more you're bound to lose.
Although when shadows fall
I think if only
Somebody splendid really needed me
Someone affectionate and dear
Cares would be ended if I knew that he
Wanted to have me near.

But I believe that since my life began
The most I've had is just a talent to amuse.
Hey ho, if love were all.
Hey ho, if love were all.

(words and music by Noel Coward)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

27. Top of the World

can't have drag without Karen Carpenter!

[Misunderestimator]

52. LOL... No WAY! ... Ok, I'll be John.

[HEyHEY]

28. Fighting soldiers from the sky

Fearless men, who jump and die!

[Book Lover]

30. "Falling in Love with You"

In Elvis drag. But the 50's Elvis, not the 70's Elvis...

[mitchtv]

31. "Mr Big stuff" ,along with Dusty Springfield's

"you don't have to say you love me."

[Swamp Rat]

32. Is this a trick question?

;-)

[bobthedrummer]

33. "Hey Joe" LOL -I could expect a barrage of beer bottles though

or maybe Sade's "No Ordinary Love"- HOO-HAH!
I think it would be a trip but one would have to get into friendly venue.
My wife and I could cross-dress, she plays bass...we are hetero yet it would be fun to do in the right club.

:smoke:

[terrya]

34. My choice would be: "I Enjoy Being a Girl" from "Flower Drum Song"

Hey...Rodgers and Hammerstein...you can't beat that. :-)

[arwalden]

35. Do Ya Wanna Have Fun, Fun, Fun... Howza Bouta Few... LAUGHS?

Or I could go all Fosse on you and do "Hey Big Spender".

[terrya]

36. You can go ahead and go Fosse on me.

"Hey Big Spender" works for me.

[pagerbear]

43. I'm a girl and by me that's only great!

I'm a girl and by me that's only great!
I am proud that my silhouette is curvy!
That I walk with a sweet and girlish gait,
With my hips kind of swively and swervey!

I adore being dressed in something frilly
When my date comes to get me at my place
Out I go with my Joe or John or Willy
Like a filly who is running for a race!

When I have a brand new hairdo
And my eyelashes all in curl
I float as the birds on air do
I enjoy being a girl!

When men say I'm cute and funny
And my teeth aren't teeth but pearl
I just lap it up like honey
I enjoy being a girl!

I flip when a fellow sends me flowers!
I drool over dresses made of lace!
I talk on the telephone for hours
With a pound and a half of cream upon my face!










Oh dammit! What's the last verse?!

[terrya]

44. I can't think of it, either!

While "I Enjoy Being a Girl" is NOT an ode to feminism, by any stretch of the imagination, it IS a wonderful song...and the perfect drag number. :-)

[pagerbear]

45. Aha!

I'm strictly a female female
And my future, I hope, will be
On the arm of some brave and free male
Who'll enjoy being a boy having a girl....like.....MEEEEEE!!!!!!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

37. I did 'Fly me to the Moon' and 'Mack the Knife'

For some forgotten reason.

[sundog]

38. I was sure you were gonna say "Car Wash" Allen

B-)

[arwalden]

40. LOL.... I Guess I Got Tired Of Being Predictable...

Now I'm livin' life on the edge!'

Now... give me MY FISHNET STOCKINGS AND BOA!!

-- Allen

[sundog]

39. I'll do "Proud to be an American" at the Liberty University Student Union

just to be spiteful :evilgrin:

[noonwitch]

42. I'd pay to see that!

I would hope that Jerry would get to see your act!

[Quahog]

46. "Ballroom Blitz"

Heh. That would be funny.

[Laughing Mirror]

47. Allen - Did you ever see Ella Fitzgerald perform "It Shoulda Been Me"?

The original DC Ella Fitzgerald drag queen, that is? She actually took you into that church wedding ceremony. You actually saw her tremendous self coming down the aisle yelling at the preacher to stop the wedding, that husband is hers! And just when she's hurtling "It shoulda been me," she snatches off those two wighats piled up on her head and stamps them into the floor. So transfixed you have been by her performance, it is only at this point, when she's stamping and grinding her wigs into the ground in fury and protest, that you realize that her big drag queen feet are shoeless, bare. Ella Fitzgerald, barefoot would-be bride-to-be.

If you can do one-tenth of what Ella did with that song, your performance is something that people should see!

[arwalden]

49. I've Seen Ella At Zigfields... But I've Never Seen Her Do That Song

From your wonderful description... it sounds like it would have been an absolute HOOT!!

-- Allen

[Laughing Mirror]

51. She used to do it at the old Louie's where the JEdgar Hoover building is n

It was when she was first getting started, back in late 70s, early 80s. I saw her perform it on several occasions, it became part of her repertoire. Since I haven't lived in DC and haven't seen her perform in more than 20 years, I can only imagine she's better now than then. Next time you see her, ask her about it. She worked that song from one end and back again. I remember she started out slow, with the slow version, and worked her way into a mad frenzy with the more speeded up dance floor version of the song as her encore, which went on and on. That I can remember this song in such detail after all these decades is a testament to what Ella did with it. Ladies and Gentlemen, the legend, Ella Fitzgerald. Tell her an old fan said, Hi. (His name is Darryl, I think. But everybody called her Ella.)

[mondo joe]

48. Something Helen Reddy -- DELTA DAWN or I AM WOMAN

Possibly something Olivia Newton John.

I'm tempted to say Brandy - but that's my If I Were a Female Stripper song.

[JohnKleeb]

50. hah ok here ya go

War by Edwin Starr
Too bad I can't impersonate a girl for shit nor could I do a girl's voice.
