Friends and I are putting on a show later this year called "you cant say that on stage" We are after a list of rude, inappropriate, racist, offensive etc.......songs. Any ideas as to what would be good to include?
"You Can Be As Loud As The Hell You Want (When You're Making Love)" - AVENUE Q
"Hominy Grits" - GREY GARDENS
"Winning a Tony this year is like winning Best Attendance in third grade: no one will care but the winner and their mom."

"I have also met him in person, and I find him to be quite funny actually. Arrogant and often misinformed, but still funny."
-bjh2114 (on Michael Riedel)
there's a brilliant song by lawrence o'keefe (batboy) called the dumping song or something like that - all about a guy insulting his soon to be ex. fantastic and jaw-droppingly nasty!
premature ejaculation from Slice of Saturday Night- fab song. last time i heard it was when hadley fraser when he was a few years above me at college
You got it. I mean, if you want to do something flat out, burn down the barn offensive, do a concert version of PRETTYBELLE with a narrator giving the audience the story as the show progresses from song to song. I guarantee you'll have a SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER moment.
I can't think of any right now, but this sounds like it could be a very funny idea for a show....

You could do whole medleys on different themes... "The Sexuality Song", "Relegion Medley" etc
"In the rain, the pavement shines like silver
All the lights are misty in the river
In the darkness, the trees are full of starlight
And all I see is him and me forever and forever."
CONTACT from RENT? SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER? SOMEBODY KILL ME from THE WEDDING SINGER? I'm drawing a bit of a blank right now, but if you ever follow me around work for a day, you'll hear me singing many inappropriate songs. The more I know I shouldn't be singing 'em, the more I can't get them out of my head. :3
If you're not solely using theatre songs, pretty much anything by Stephen Lynch. Check him out on iTunes.

I'm thinking about legally changing my name to Lizzie Curry...
If you'll consider something besides theater songs, check out Richard Cheese. He does Vegas Lounge Singer versions of contemporary rock and hip hop songs. His bossa nova version of "Baby Got Back" is not to be missed.
