What song should I choose for a translation competition?

There is a translation competition I’m planning to take part in and I need to choose an English song to translate into French (because the audience would be more familiar with the tune than if it was a French song translated into English).

Basically the procedure of the competition is to translate a song or poem from English to French or vice versa and perform it in a way that is as creative as possible.

I’m thinking of using an English song that would make sense in French, without love themes or offensive words and is fairly popular so the audience will like it.

Thanks.

The song "I FEEL PRETTY" from West Side Story has been translated into about 50 langueages including FRENCH.. maybe that owuld be a start for you.
