Karaoke in the Capital

Oh dear W'Uppers, I could use some advice prontissimo – because I've agreed to embarrass myself for a good cause at tomorrow night's Karaoke in the Capital, which Politics Daily is co-sponsoring, and I still haven't decided what to sing. I especially need an assist because: The last time I sang in public I was 17 years old. I have never set foot in a karaoke bar. And though I love to belt out show tunes in the privacy of my car, my kids respond roughly 100 percent of the time by turning on the radio, so I'm thinking that means ixnay on this or this or even this.

My 13-year-old daughter has but one request: "Just promise me you're not going to do Miley, OK?'' And I have already ruled out by own two top picks – "I'm Still Here" (though Elaine Stritch is my musical role model) because it's five minutes long, and Jacques Brel's "Quand On N'a Que L'Amour" -- thrilling political anthem though it is -- because, well, I remember when Teresa Heinz stepped to the mic and said a few words in French; you would have thought she'd defamed George Washington. So, keeping in mind that I'd like to be able to show my face in public again someday, what have you got for me?
