I mostly only know parody lyrics, so it will go badly no matter what.

Nah, if you can drop the weird Al lyrics without them being on the screen, the crowd will love it.

I know someone who did that who is a REALLY GOOD, like pro level singer. Crowd was delighted when she started singing and they heard how great her voice was. Then they were slightly puzzled when some of the words were different. Then they realized she was singing a parody and they were like WTF. I suppose I'll try it anyway if the occasion comes up .

Here she is singing a Queen--Bohemian Rhapsody / Star Wars crossover parody:
