How about shifting gears and trying something a little new? Boy + Girl Duets. ONly thing is, you can’t repeat pairs. Repeat individuals–OK, so long as they’re with someone else. Repeat songs–OK, so long as they were sung by a different pair. Alright? Oh, and while just the song and the arteests will suffice, please feel free to include a little snippet so’s we can all appreciate _the poetry_ Let’s see how we goo… **team 2** _Usta be’s don’t count any more They just lie on the floor 'til we sweep them away.
