"Jump, Jive, An' Wail" - Louis Armstrong (sung by Lips. Says a friend of mine: "Dude, it could be his trademark song. O_O")

"If I Didn't Have You" - Billy Crystal and John Goodman (sung by Zoot and Lips, respectively. Maybe with a slight alteration of the lyrics...)

Nice!

I also like your inclussion of more classic songs.

"Beverly Hills" by Weezer (Dr. Teeth, Floyd and Janice could all sing parts of it)
I knew that 90's metal motif would work with the band.

I'm not sure if it's been said yet, but I'd wanna see Zoot perform Baker Street by Gerry Rafferty. :cool: Don't know if he'd do the vocal parts though.

I can see Zoot singing "Crying" by Roy Orbison when his saxaphone is missing.

"Jammin" by Bob Marley. Floyd could sing that or Zoot.

is it strange that after watching Back to the Future, i can totally hear Floyd singing Johnny B Goode?

i also think that the extended version of the Fraggle Rock Theme Song totally had the Electric Mayhem playing it, it even had a sax solo that totally channels Zoot.
(while listening to the song, i had this amazing mental image of the Fraggles somehow performing the song on the Muppet Theater Stage along with Junior and a chorus of Doozers. The Fraggles would run all over the place from Junior and even pop up among the band for a moment to enjoy the music, especially Gobo snapping his fingers and bouncing to the rhythm while he was humming along with Zoot.)

Anyway, with that in mind Floyd singing "Under the Bridge" popped into my head.
Well, "Under the Bridge" would be cool, but it kind of has touchy subject matter from what I've heard.

I could definitely see DT&EM doing something by Pearl Jam, Green Day (something calmer, maybe), or Modest Mouse, or the aforementioned RHCP.
