And, as it transpires: I will actually have enough to purchase the version with the Kinect and the 250 GB drive.
Sooooo… what am I singing? Remember: nothing political, nothing too obscene, and something within my range. And, oh, yeah: English. I’ll pick the selection I like best from the comments section.
You are the very model of a scientist salarian.
“Obama that I used to know” with body paint.
jbird: That would be both political and obscene (I am after all stout, and middle-aged). 🙂
RE: Your Brains. Or any of the Johnathan Coulton songs, really.
Are you getting one of the themed XBoxes, e.g., Gears of War or Halo?
OU812: Nah, just one of the Holiday Bundles (they’re on sale).
Knocking on Heaven’s Door
Use you Irish heritage and pick a good clean sound for people with dirty minds
A classic. Mac Davis, “It’s Hard to be Humble”.

I reiterate. “Green Onions” by Booker T and the MGs, “Axel F” by Harold Faltemeyer, or a family rendition of “Soul Finger” by the Bar-Kays.

Luke: I actually think “Hard to Humble” should be Obama’s theme song.
No argument there. But I don’t see Obama being able to make fun of himself very successfully.
It would be a great SNL skit. Especially if prefaced by a “Let me be clear!” and delivered in his speech-giving pattern.
Does it really need to be said? What better to rub it in to all your fans on the left: “Still Alive” by JoCo.
This was a triumph… Making a note here–huge success.
It’s hard to overstate my satisfaction…
“Common People” by Pulp. If it’s in Shatner’s range, it’s gotta be in yours.
I’ve listened to Shatner …do whatever it is that he does to musical numbers that unwisely stray within reach. I’m not sure that ‘range’ is really an applicable term, here. 🙂
Also… I don’t know if I could pull this off.

I’m really tempted to try, but I don’t know.
“Against the Grain” by Garth Brooks.
“If I were a rich man” from fiddler on the roof
Drink deep of this version — Shatner, Ben Folds, and Joe Jackson.

“Birdhouse in your Soul” by They Might Be Giants please.
That Shatner/Jackson/BF5 cover of Pulp… It was both transcendent and banal, and I think I’m missing a few brain cells but better of for having watched it.
I loves me some Jumpin’ Joe Jackson.
