Sweet Serenade.

Ok then -- I retract my suggestion, and am researching instrumental songs now. Instrumental will work very well with this particular voice.

Well, if the goal is total embarassment of the girl, then Baby Got Back would do nicely.

Uhm...lemme see what else would work...(launches Winamp)

Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Macy Gray - I Try (with the raspy voice and everything)
Cake - I Will Survive (don't try that a capella, though)
Green Day - Minority (Just a shot in the dark)
Lionel Richie - Hello
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Mona Lisa (I have their cover of the song...I dunno who actually sang it. Nat King Cole?)
Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On (Shoot, ANYTHING by Missy Elliott)
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Weird Al - Smells Like Nirvana (Okay, so the last two are the same. Ah well.)
Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad
Outkast - Hey Ya (shake it like a Polaroid pic-shaaa!)
Wyclef Jean feat. The Rock - It Doesn't Matter
Wyclef Jean - Anything Can Happen
Wyclef Jean feat. The Bee Gees - We Trying to Stay Alive (better with backup, but you'll figure something out)

That's what I can think of. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included. (what is this, the FIRST kit of parts? )

Thought of a couple more:

NSYNC - This I promise you
Daniel Beddingfield - If you're not the one

Top Gun Maverick/Goose style, of course

"Cause she's lost that lovin' feeling"
"That lovin' feeling? Oh no no no"
"Oh but she has"
"I hate it when she loses that lovin' feeling"

Lol. Anyways. "Take My Breath Away" (Berlin), "Brown Eyed Girl" (Van Morisson), "Memory" (Sugarcult), "All for You" (Sister Hazel), "Somebody to Love" (Queen), and "The Reason" (Hoobastank) all work too.

[Eugenia Gabrielov]

If he wants to serenade her, I'd recommend either Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova by Oasis, and also perhaps Sympathy or Slide by Googoo Dolls. Green Day's "Time of your life" is always fun. Uh...those are all easy to sing.

[Michelle 236]

Change In My Life by Billy Strauss is a really sweet song to sing to someone,

but if you really want to embarass her, sing that Stacy's Mom song, but use her name instead of stacy

[Jay H 237]

I just thought of one that I haven't seen listed yet.
Don't forget about Abba's "Take a Chance On Me".

Of course with the intention of embarassment you might want to try something from New Kids on the Block or Tiffany! Besides with all the good suggestions in this thread there's no reason you couldn't sing more than one song to her.

What songs do you recommend he sings her?
Thanks in Advance,
John

Wow... OK, well is this lonely canadian, lonely cause he wants the girl, or is he lonely cause he had the girl and wants her back??

I steal some dialogue from "Not Another Teen Movie"

"You have to sing a song with her name in it...."

"Janie's got a gun..."

"AHHHH!!! Get down, Janie's got a gun..."

[Lisa Perez]

Make like what's-his-face from 10 Things I Hate About You and sing "You're Just too Good to Be True", all while running away from the referees up and down the bleachers

Is this for Karthik ??


Amazed by Lonestar
Miss One Thing by Aerosmith (my friend says its called something else .. but whatever .. )

[JVN]

Thank you all for your suggestions!

They are all being taken into consideration. I'll let you know how things turn out for our Canadian friend. Maybe I can post some video.

How about Pressing LIps by the Pursuit of Happiness?

The god who made us made me mortal too
He gave me no special powers I could use on you
I've done all I can do
I can't give you the moon or the stars
But you can have the contents of my
Melancholy heart
What could mean more than a kiss right now
If you need a grand gesture, close your eyes and show me how (darling)
Pressing lips (honey)
Kiss me quick (sugar)
Mark my face with tangerine lipstick
Kiss me like you'll never
See me again (my angel)
Pressing lips
I could never want you more than this
Some boys will tell you they can make you complete
I won't presume that I'm the only thing you need
How unfair that would be
I can't move a mountain, swim a river deep
I won't make you supernatural promises
I can't keep
What could mean more than a kiss right now
If you need a grand gesture, close your eyes, I'll show you how (darling)
[chorus]
She's on her tip-toes to reach her mic
She smiles at Stewey
God, what a beautiful night


It's got a nice geeky charm that is more ernest and down to earth than most love songs.

Anything. Just loudly, badly, repeatedly.

What would ever give you that idea.

I don't know who this Canadian could be, but rumour has it he's very good looking, and always gets the girl.

Sounds like a guy I would want to be my friend.

[Amanda Morrison]

You know, I know that most FIRST people don't like a whole lot of attention brought to them.

Maybe it's better that this random Canadian guy just not sing to her? Can't he just give her a card or a hug, or just say hi?
