Ideal million dollar songs?


I really cant think of one but it would be hilarious if they put "Macerena" or "One Week" up there. I realize that they dont want to give the bank away but maybe they should add another buffer after the 100,000 mark for attempting the million dollar song. I really am interested in seeing what songs the producers think are worth a million bucks. Im sure itll be some one hit wonder from 1962, but anyway I hope someone does go that high before the show gets cancelled.

My ideal choice would be Alanis Morissette's "Hand in my Pocket". The song's structure is deceptively simple, but there's a lot of room to hang yourself since the whole song is comprised of "Im (something), but im (something)" and there's no good point of reference if you get lost and it doesnt help that the chorus changes a few words here and there. In "One Week", which has a frantic pace and a tricky rhythm, the contestant is gonna most likely either know it by heart or not at all, but people will THINK they know "Hand in my Pocket" until they forget if "Im sad but Im laughing" comes before or after "Im sick but Im pretty" and begin triple guessing themselves. How devious indeed!

What do you guys think.

"Hand in My Pocket" was not a #1 hit so it will never be the Million Dollar Song.

But it's a sure bet that the song they choose for the Million Dollar Song will be something obscure. No way It'll ever be a song that gets a lot of airplay such as "Jesse's Girl".

Damn well I was thinking back in terms of like 1995 when Alanis Morrisette pretty much ruled the world.

Also wiki states that press releases state they are planning to make the million dollar song a freebee shot. I hope that's truth.

I really would like to see a million-dollar attempt. I do really well on the show, and if I could sing and lived anywhere near California, I'd love to try out.
