I am performing somewhere and want to sing something environmental/humanitarian

a part of me wants to sing earth song or we are the world, cause it's perfect, but even though I'm a fan and feel like a sellout admitting this, I'm looking for something else cause I don't want to be laughed at though I sing mj's stuff best and yet want to challenge myself to do something different. Any ideas? No silly jokes about sesame street or barney crap please, I'm serious.

fans, don't jump on me, I'm suffering post-trauma because of performing mj once and them making a joke about him after, although those were well received and I got compliments for them from most people and will still get them every now and then though it was a few years ago. Anyone who does mj becomes known for doing mj instead of their own talents.

man I just read the words and there is no other perfect song and doing that would be outside the box for sure, but I dunno, I've turned into such a conformist lately, I'm tired of being a non conformist, it's too much work, and it is not an easy song to sing though I know i will do fine with practice

how about prince's "dear mr man" or ben harper's "excuse me mr" ?

good choices, but I'm not a mr. so it wouldn't sound right, though the music is nice.

I appreciate your suggestions though, please keep them coming.

Big Yellow Taxi - Joni Mitchell

mercy, mercy me - marvin gaye. game over

What a Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong






...but DON'T try to sound like him!

maybe John Lennon's Imagine?

I mean it might be more political that environmental, but their related...
