If you are a cabaret artist and you are mostly singing other people's songs, you're asking them to rethink a song, listen to it in a different way. The most impact you can have while asking them to re-listen to a song is if it's a song they know very well.

Sometimes people get really sniffy about the films you choose if you've done more dramatic projects or you're classically trained.
