Well, if you have to do a speech, the best thing to do is pick something that no one has any idea about. That way you can ramble on and cover your bases in case something goes wrong. I'm not saying something WILL go wrong, don't get nervous, but it's like acting. If the audience doesn't know the script, you can cover up most mistakes, whereas if you pick a song that everyone knows...I don't know, just a suggestion.
Anyway, there is this comedy group called the Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC), and they did this musical in like, 1998 or something about the whole millenium. One of the songs in it is called "Ain't It Crazy How Love Works." I'm such a nerd that I HAVE the cd simply becuase the whole musical was hysterical. The CD is scratched to hell, but I might be able to rip the song from it and send it to you, if you want. It has a lot of references to historical figures. Below are the lyrics:
Ferdinand loved Imelda
Bought her a lot of shoes
Adolph loved Eva
You know what he tried to do
Romeo loved Juliet
More than a priceless gem
Henry the Eighth loved all of his wives
Look what happened to them
Ain't it crazy how love works
Ain't it crazy how love works
Hinckley loved Jodie
Thought he'd give romance a shot
Nobody loved Cambodia
More than its leader Pol Pot
Jesus said that loving thy neighbor
Is the name of the game
Some folks love Jesus so much
They kill people in his name
Ain't it crazy how love works
Ain't it crazy how love works
When a woman says "I love you"
There's never a proper response
When a man says I love you
You know what he really wants
And wants, and wants, and wants, and wants, and wants
The Wallendas loved flying
Ended up taking the fall
O.J. loved Nicole so much
He never killed her at all
Dodi loved Diana
Howard Hughes loved all of his wealth
If you look at the way all these people end up
You can see love is bad for your health
Ain't it crazy how love works
Ain't it crazy how love works
Jimmy Hoffa loved the teamsters so much
He went on a permanent strike
Maybe it's safer for everyone
To only go falling in like
Ain't it crazy how love works
Ain't it crazy how love works
