Ten Songs That Should Be On GLEE.
It’s about time you all knew about my television obsession, if you didn’t already. I love TV. I love TV shows. I especially love TV shows that broadcast online the night after so I don’t have to deal with the Black Box of Doom popping up on my absurd island television. Among these shows is Glee.
So I was doing some thinking today and decided that there are a few songs I would just love, love, love to see them do – in no particular order, here’s my Top Ten Suggestions for Songs to Be Covered on Glee.
1. “Hopelessly Devoted to You” – Grease
I would especially love to see this done as a duet of some kind. Maybe Emma and Quinn – although we all know that if another Olivia Newton John number comes up, Rachael will be first in line to sing it. But here’s hoping.
2. “Stronger” – Britney Spears
I was reading an article a few days ago that the producers were considering a Britney episode – and if so, this one has to make the cut. While I’m sure this would also be a Rachael number, it’d be nice to see Mercedes step up with it. Or even Kurt!
3. “Keeping the Faith” – Billy Joel
If the upbeat medley in Movin’ Out wasn’t convincing enough, imagining Finn belting this one out (maybe alongside Mr. Schu?) is enough to make me want to see some Billy Joel in an upcoming episode.
4. “Glee Club Rehearsal” – You’re A Good Man, Charlie Brown
This broadway number never ceased to amuse me… so let’s throw it into an actual Glee Club rehearsal in the TV show? Pretty Please?
5. “Fidelity” – Regina Spektor
Even though it’s not Regina’s best song, it’s a popular one – and I think that alone would be enough for it to make the cut. For a change of pace it might be interesting to see Brittany cover this song – or even Emma?
6. “Winner Takes it All” – ABBA
Seriously, they’ve got to bring in ABBA sometime – and when Rachael and Jesse finally split, I’m hoping she’ll get over it with this classic ballad.
7. “Telephone” – Lady GaGa
Let’s face it – the folks who do the music for Glee are extremely up with the times when it comes to sampling pop hits. I’d be interested to see if they’d be able to work in some GaGa – though Telephone might be the most tame option, my other choice being “Beautiful, Dirty, Rich”
8. “Wild at Heart” – Gloriana
Okay, okay, I know what you’re thinking – but Kirsten Chenoweth was able to bring country to the show, so maybe we can have a little more? Plus this would be an excellent group number.
9. “Need You Now” – Lady Antebellum
Another country song, but I’d love to see this done as a duet with some of the adult characters on the show. They don’t get to sing nearly enough.
10. “My Funny Valentine” – Frank Sinatra
One of my favorite classics, and I’d love to see Sue put that “classic” look to work with this one to taunt Will… or anyone else for that matter. Why haven’t we seen some Rat Pack covers yet, Glee?
I could go on for hours, but these are just a few top picks. What songs do you think they should cover on an upcoming episode of Glee? And if you watch… what do you think of this season so far? Madonna episode? Let me know!
i think they should do paradise by the dashboard lights by meatloaf! probably one of the best songs of all time and the energy of that song is insane
I think they should do When you believe by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey. At the beginning by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis.
NPH should come back and do we all die young
