What song should my friend and i perform for our swing show concert?

Ok so my friend and I are doing a girl duet for our swing show concert for choir. We're both sopranos but prefer a lower range so we can belt it out.. any suggestions?|||"Can't get you out of my head" by Kylie Minogue would be pretty cool.|||This is a fun song, "Sisters" by Rosemary and Betty Clooney

(it's about two sisters who say no man will come between them, unless their sister tries to mess with their man, so a bit of fun rivalry in there.)


The benefit of this song is that you would each have your own parts, as well as some harmony parts.





I recommend avoiding Andrews Sisters tunes as they are over done, plus they are 3 part harmonies, not 2.





Some good song selections are performed by the "Girls From Mars":

Yes there are 3 of them in those songs, but they take turns soloing and harmonizing, and you can do that with any classic jazz/swing tune (like "It Don't Mean A Thing If You Ain't Got That Swing"). Just alternate each phrase, or verse, and sing the chorus together.





Anyway, hope that helps!
