Give'em "Killer" - VDGG or "A passion play" - JT (with no paper to read the lyrics).

No wait, I want to hear one of 'em sing Zappa's Stick It Out from Joes's Garage - with both German and English translation. Maybe follow it up with Why Does It Hurt When I Pee?

Knots from GG seems perfect to me. I would like to see somebody attempt to sing this song on his own.

I'd like to see Dae Pecuniae by Pain of Salvation.
Simon could play the spoken part of the asshole at the wheel.

Danbo, how about "Sound Chaser," complete
with frenzied "Cha cha cha, cha cha" break? (I still don't know what
Yes were thinking at that point...) or, in another vein, the complete "Supper's
Ready" (with ca. 1972 costume changes) by Genesis.
Either that, or Deep Purple's "Child in Time." (C'mon, hit those high notes
now!)
Of course, all the drunk guys in the audience just want to hear "Free Bird."

This isn't prog, but I'd like to see them do Ernie's bathtub song (something about a rubber ducky?) or the Sesame Street song that counts up to 12.

OK, I'm probably going to get blasted for this...
But have any of you actually heard Constantine Maroulis' (from last
season) full recorded version of Bohemian Rhapsody? I personally think
he did it justice.
Ouch with the Adrian Belew comment! 
I'd have to second either the Residents, any Zappa, and "Carry Stress
in the Jaw" by Bungle. Any of those would be high on the comical scale
to watch an American Idol contestant struggle through. "Knots" would be
a trainwreck, too, thus funny.

Not prog, but anything by Kate Bush for the lady contestants, or maybe some Art Bears, Henry Cow or Thinking Plague.
As already said: A Plague of Lighthouse Keepers
"One more haggered drowned man..."
Pretty much anything by VdGG and Peter Hammill (except Theme One of course).
Even some '80s hair-rock, like AC/DC.
Oh and one more, on the opposite end of the scale, something like "R U Still In 2 It" by Mogwai.
