Question
Hi, I'm doing a performance in a few weeks for an 80's themed drag show. I need some male-lead songs that are either sexually suggestive or just plain fun. Tempo should be fairly fast to keep the crowd into it. I'm trying to avoid the obvious as they've probably been done before. I thought of Bon Jovi's Bad Medicine so far, but I'm not sold on it. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.
