We do Tiptoe Through the Tulips a lot. Falsetto singing is forbidden.
The songs that come to my mind:
Creep
Hallelujah
Somewhere Over The Rainbow
Lol I hate hallelujah no matter what it's played on.
Interesting about Creep. I did a whole performance of Creep delivered using only my Dracula voice at a Korean Karaoke bar once. No uke. There some cool famous uke version of Creep I haven't heard?

I didn't have anything specific in mind when I put Creep on my list. There is a lot of emotion, angst and sadness to that song tempered by some anger as well. It's not that difficult to play (thus so many amateur covers) but vocally it's a tough song to pull off well and most performances I've seen fall pretty short. It's only made worse when you can see the sincerity and desire there but the wherewithal to deliver is not.
Yeah that's why I do it as Dracula, that's the protagonist they had in mind when they wrote.

She does a nice job despite the parrot! I'd probably call this cover a "pretty" version.
In her description she touches on what I meant to get at and what I think part of the heart of this thread is getting at. (emphasis mine)
"Not like you asked for another quirky bohemian girl singing a cover of Creep on her ukulele, but you got it anyways ladies and gents!"
There are songs that are done so often that they kind of become cliche and
