#1Question about "Rent" songs
Posted: 4/3/07 at 8:48am

For my Bat Mitzvah, I am giving out a CD to everyone with songs on it from Dreamgirls, Wicked, Fiddler on the Roof, Wedding Singer, Cats, Honk and Rent. But Rent is a tricky one. The song doesn't have to be about getting older or a bat mitzvah, and we are only allowed to put one song of each show. Which song do you think I should use??

Seasons of Love???

RENT is anything but tricky in this case. Obviously, using "Seasons of Love" would be a good choice.

That's the song I was leaning towards. But I think I have too many slow songs already. Seasons of Love is a little slow and I'm afraid of too many ballads, though it's an excellent song. Also, Rent has a lot of other songs. I was going to do Rent (the song) originally.

"Seasons of Love" "One Song Glory" "I'll Cover You (Reprise)" "Without You" "What You Own" "Your Eyes"

I think that's about it....

"I'll Cover You reprise" is a little sad.

sooo for your bar mitzahbah you are pirating a cd :) :) woot :) (j/k)

... actually ... just a thought :) also include that song from Avenue Q about a "mix tape" ... seems appropriate.

I know you were kidding, but I'm making a mix CD, not pirating.
