Another Audition, Another Show

 No details at present.      I've been an also-ran so often the last couple years, I'm almost afraid to get my hopes up.

I am soliciting opinions as to what song to use -- the rules stipulate it must be a well-known song, not an original creation.
The question for me is do I present myself as a comedy/novelty act or as a straight singer?      In my mind,    I've always seen myself as a comic, since there was a long time when I couldn't sing and a time when I didn't realize I could sing, but I've always known I can make people laugh.       In the past, pros I've asked invariably point me towards the songs I'm most comfortable performing, which means stuff from the street show, stuff from the CD.   I have no idea whether those songs are considered "well-known" enough.

My short list:

Kathy's Song   (Paul Simon)

The Thing   (sung by Phil Harris, written by Charles C. Grean)

You're My Home   (early Billy Joel album cut which has gotten some radio play but is not among his best-known works)

The Marvelous Toy (Tom Paxton)

This Is My Song    (Petula Clark, written by Charlie Chaplin)

The Rose   (Bette Midler)

I Got It From Agnes   (Tom Lehrer)   (I think he's still alive-- if he finds out someone turned his unsavory work into a G-rated comedy    sketch he might not like it...)

shrinkyohead has voted   "novelty song" because...there will be many many more straight singers than comic singers.    (Okay, what was actually said sounded like   "You can't compete with people who've been singing their whole lives..." )    There is something to be said for doing two things with one song if I can.

Opinions?
