We all know on the Q+PR tours that they pick the heavier rock songs for Paul to sing, for that's what fits his voice best.
But what if they chose the items in the Queen song catalogue that totally DON'T fit his voice? I occasionally think of what this would sound like when I want to bring a little humor in to my life (or just songs by ANY artist that would sound funny with Paul's overdone bluesy vocals).
What I've come up with so far:
Flash
Don't Stop Me Now
Killer Queen
Invisible Man
Lazing on a Sunday Afternoon
Seaside Rendezvous
Don't Try Suicide
Bicycle Race
Mustapha
Body Language
Delilah
What do you guys have to add? And hey, just to make it even more fun, you can throw in non-Queen songs just to spice things up (it'd be pretty funny to imagine him singing some ABBA, for instance).

They didn't need our help and have already let him to sing The Show Must Go On and A Kind Of Magic. Awful, IMHO.

You forgot We Will Rock You. I really HATE the way he sings the song
Ha. I have to say that even as a paul rodgers fan, I do laugh at him singing IWTBF. It sounds ridiculous! Sounds like he's singing it in an indian accent!

Rofl, good point Serry. And his I Want to Break Free is hilarious...makes me think of a macho manly-man who gets really drunk at a bar, finds his more "feminine" side and decides to belt out Break Free in an alcohol-induced coming-out moment!
A song that doesn't ridiculous in Paul's fake, cheesy blues style?
Well, that should be everything between Keep Yourself Alive and No One But You, really.
