... Oh. My. God.

Somebody help me please.

Have been told that we have 5 weeks in our office to come up with a performance for a Lip Synch competition at the annual awards.

Last October it was "Idol", thankfully I was not called upon to contribute.

6 months on and I've been asked to co-ordinate, direct & choreograph this years lip synch entry?

My first thought was Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" closely followed by whoever sang, "Don't Call Me Baby ..."

Your thoughts/recommendations would be tolerated ...

So tellus about your group, are they all male / female or mixed? Is it supposed to be for a laugh or do they take it very seriously?

If you were all girls, I'd go for Maddona's 'Like a Virgin'.

Am Loolah

Mixed, predominantly female, but some random blokes had to ruin it - they may well be virgins though?

Age range from 33 - 69?

We have to mime and throw some shapes ... I am not putting in any gymnastic crabs after the last party due to not being able to walk for a week afterwards.

A bad moonwalk would be amusing though methinks?

Bo-Jangles

Okay, shapes? What's with the shapes? Just trying to find a link .

You have my sympathies and here was me thinking NZ was free from all this enforced hilarity corporate nonsense? What about ABBA if you are in the same era as Kate Bush (ok she was a bit later)?

dreamfish

hahahha thats made me giggle. Roger has some cracking legs *phwoooarr*

Am Loolah

Thank you all for your suggestions - I am imagining they take it quite seriously as in wanting to win. It could be the only award I partake in on the night!

Abba is out as I hate them.

Thriller is too hard to get away with.

Other thoughts were Rock DJ - Manager (50+) in Tiger pants?

The Pussy Cat Dolls "Dontcha Wish Ya Boyfriend Was Hot Like Me ..."

Or, less choreography, more miming, Bohemian Rhapsody?

how about Robert Palmer Addicted to Love. The video has all those lovely ladies dressed in black, slick hair etc.

The video has lots of possible characters. Pantomime cow for instance LOL. I just needed an excuse to watch that video again. So 80s, so cool.


For the older folk amongst your dance troop.

Tom jones - Sex Bomb. Get your boss to girate his hips. That will see you a pay rise.

Am Loolah

Tom Jones - Genius, am loving that suggestion.

We can hire a chest wig ...
