It's the songs that only men can sing....from I Kissed the Bride to I'm a Man of Constant Sorrow and Father and Son might feature. I'm sure you'll come up with some inspired and interesting songs.
Remember ladies, you are welcome to suggest the songs....but for one night only it's all about the men!!

I'll need to to get sister Margaret back on banana loaf production in an endeavour to bring the blog batting average back up.
And I could write about the lavvies at the k d lang gig, which I meant to enlighten Mr Git with, but never got round to.
Anyone notice Bryan mentioning that the dark side are now delivering cakes to Pacific Quay?
This seriously undermines our claim to be 'the backbone of the show'. How do we respond?

Plainly, Simon Smith is singing the song. This song can no more be sung by a woman than the ficticious song 'Henri Hannah and his amazing banana loaf" could be sung by Miss Babs.
#46 Pleasure is all mine, Senga, it doesn't take as long to get to Edinburgh, I'll make sure Ive got enough petrol so we don't have to stop at Harthill and have the same kind of disaster that we did at Westmorland last year en route to Blackpool.

You'd have thought Scotch would be round there with the Thorntons and the flowers from the petrol station by now. Let's see if the blog batting average goes up.
#52 no problemo, Adam. Glen is right, of course, in the narrow measure - but as I say, Tracy Thorn sang 'The Only Livin Boy In New York', 'admittedly with the bloke'.
That apart, it's hard to think of others but there is a theme: songs sung by the wrong gender - what are the songs that Barry Gibb should have let Lulu sing?
That sort of thing?
