Songs of 'Glee'

So after the first few episodes of "Glee," it's clear the music performances are an important part of the show. I don't think they always necessarily add to the plot, but they are often entertaining. The football players dancing to Beyonce's "Single Ladies" made me laugh more than anything else on the show yet.

I have a few suggestions of songs I'd like to see in the future.

"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake - Journey has already become a mainstay on the show, so why not another '80s power ballad?

"The Boy is Mine" by Brandy and Monica - This song could be a showdown between Quinn and Rachel as they both continue to long for Finn, who seems unsure of which girl he really wants. Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me" or "Teardrops on my Guitar" would also be good songs for Rachel, but Swift is kind of overplayed right now. Or maybe it's just overplayed in my car on the way to work.

"Jump" by Kriss Kross - This would complete the really super cheesy hip-hop songs from my childhood. The writers already used "Poison" by Bel Biv DeVoe and "I wanna sex you up" by Color Me Badd.

"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" by the Pet Shop Boys - Finn can sing this when he discovers that you can't really get a girl pregnant by sitting, clothed, in a hot tub, but that it can happen when your best friend sleeps with your girlfriend.

"Faith" by George Michael - I don't have a scenario for this song, but I just think it would be funny to see Will Schuster sing and dance to it. He could even wear a little cross earring like George Michael does in the music video.

"Boys Don't Cry" by the Cure - Football Coach Tanaka can sing this when Emma breaks his heart.

"Save Me" by Aimee Mann - The lyrics to this song are perfect for the misfit kids in the glee club.

"Creep" by Radiohead - Puck can sing this when Quinn again denies his advances and that her baby is actually his.

"I Want You to Want Me" by Cheaptrick - This song has be sung in a bunch of movies, but I still really like it and think it would be perfect for like have the cast to sing - Rachel to Finn, Emma to Will, Tanaka to Emma,Kurt to Finn...you get the picture.

"Perfect Day" by Lou Reed - This song is just lovely and would be perfect for when any of those involved in the unrequited love situations actually end up together.

I can't think of a perfect song for when Will finds out his wife is lying to him about her pregnancy and scheming to get a teenage girl's baby. And I also can't think of any good songs for Artie (the wheel chair guy,) Mercedes (the black girl,) or Tina (the Asian girl) so hopefully their characters get a little better develops as the series goes on.
