UPDATE: Correct track listing added. I'm voting for Common People.
I've noticed a trend at this year's music festivals: challenge the people who perform the best at music-based games to take their talents public. SingStar's chosen its winners out of the enormous spectrum of video submissions on their website to perform at Glastonbury next week (with yours truly...more on that in a sec), and now you can perform at the Isle of Wight Festival by showing off your stuff on Guitar Hero.
Seriously. Play your Fender-style axe on the same stage as Johnny Rotten. Rock.
But back to next week. I have a humble request for help.
I will be on stage closing for Kate Nash, accompanied by a track on the new SingStar for the PS3. As a SingStar veteran (apologies to my downstairs neighbour Shaun), I am mentally prepared for greatness at the hand of a USB mic. But I have a) no idea what to wear and - perhaps more importantly - b) no idea what to sing. Please help me choose!
The tracks on the disc are over the fold. You get to choose which song I'll sing. I will sing the song you choose to the Queen's Head Stage on Friday night in a field in Somerset to several tens of people (I can only hope). Please, be kind.
Bear in mind that the best, most entertaining SingStar tracks are short and very jumpy. Duran Duran's Rio, for example, on SingStar 80s, may be the most fun to sing, but it's very dull for everyone else as it goes on a bit.
