Useful detail

Performance tip

Tell the spoken opening like a real story and make the character voices distinct. The exaggerated rock sections are funnier when you commit completely instead of winking at the joke.

Recommendation

Should you sing it?

Go with “Tribute” when you are comfortable going all-in on the bit. What helps most is that you let the beat and familiar moments do some of the work. Save it for another night if playful acting makes you self-conscious.
