Check out the old Super Mario music (or any other NES/SNES music). They are pretty simple and rarely have more than a few parts going at a time.

Cool video here:bigpapajon wrote:Tetris theme. You can even march around like little blocks and fit together.
Go for humor and play "I Feel Pretty" from West Side Story a la Chuck D. from Canadian Brass.

Queen - Fat Bottomed Girls (just the chorus, in three/four parts)
Superstition is a good choice (might be hard to work up without to much rehearsal time....)
Who - Pinball Wizard
