Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Pick “Molly (16 Candles Down the Drain)” for a 1990s alternative crowd that knows the song; it should land well, though it is more audience-dependent than a universal staple. It needs steady phrasing and a clear sense of the groove, but it is not an all-out vocal showcase.
