Your help please...

Ok so as part of my quest to be a better rock chick, I have decided to form a duo of sorts with my friend Hayley. Hayley and I studied music together at uni, and she's a great singer/singing teacher. Over the past few years I have had singing lessons with her on and off - which usually translated to singing for half an hour and then catching up on the latest gossip for another two hours. Which was fun but maybe not overly productive.

Now that I am having lessons from Mr Expert, I have decided to get together with Hayley once a week and practise songs that we can perform together. My goal by mid year is to have a repertoire of 12 songs that we can play at performance level. Whether or not we do an actual performance, I need the pressure of a deadline and regular rehearsals to get this happening.

So, we are meeting on Tuesday for the first time, and I want us to pick our first 6 songs to work on. This is where you guys come in. I would love your suggestions, dear bloggers, on what songs could work as an acoustic duet for two girls.

To give you an idea I'm thinking we'll probably do a Neko Case song, and we'll look at other current girl sings like Martha Wainwright, Feist, etc. But I'm very open to suggestion - nothing too cheesy please!! You might even know of a song sung by a guy that could work well sung by girls. Either a duet or something with killer backing harmonies would be idea. The classics or current stuff will all be considered... but bear in mind it has to be able to be performed by 2 girls with acoustic guitars and maybe a piano/tambourine. No cheesy backing tracks thanks!! So "U Can't Touch This" is out I'm afraid!

Ok it's all yours...
