Company IDOL

They are doing it again.
The "Company IDOL" competiion.
Last time, I didn't quite crash and burn, but I didn't get through to the finals either. In fact, I was so terrified at the audition, I tough I'd turn blue from not breathing in enough oxygen.
This is a source of embarrasment. In other situations, as a volunteer, I have sung for free in front of audiences of several hundred, without batting an eyelid..... and here in front of 50 of my collegues, I was scared witless. Of course, the fact that I was being evaluated, and that there was a CASH PRIZE up for grabs did put on the preassure.

Well, this time, my friends, I have more realistic targets: I aim to sing my chosen song without getting too nervous. Ridiculous you say? Well, I would agree, except for my remembering my terror the last time. So forget about the finals, or the grand prize of a 32-inch TV. I aim to have fun, and maybe entertain some people while I am at it.

Any suggestions what I should sing?
