Default Need some advice (from band members especially)!

My university is doing a hurricane benefit talent show thing and they've asked me to sing at it for about 4 songs or so because I won a ridiculous talent show there one year (dressed in leather pants with a bandana and sang Bed of Roses and Runaway...oh man, what a night that was) and I was going to do all Bon Jovi cause it would be funny, as everyone else is going to sing Jack Johnson crappy hippie college music or hip-hop garbage.

I was thinking Runaway, It's My Life, Bed of Roses (or Always) (it's at a nice rented hall with room to dance), and Wanted. I can sing all of these well on their own, but I am not Jon Bonjovi, nor am I in a band. So, I am not sure if I can maintain a solid voice for all those songs for half an hour and run around and make an ass of myself.

What songs would you suggest I sing that would really get the audience going (sorry, living on a prayer is just too damn high and I'd end up puking my lungs into the audience...) and get them to have a good time and toss some money? Also, what order would you do it in? The girl organizing it says I can have as much time as I want, but like I said, 4 songs or so is good for me, and it's about what everyone else is doing. I was also thinking about throwing something in the middle like an oldie that everyone likes so I can get my vocals back. (Yes, I am a wuss, I know)

Any advice would be much appreciated. What would everyone get into?
