What are some good 50's songs?

Question

I'm auditioning for our school musical next year. It's called Nifty 50's (yeah I know). As part of the audition you have to sing one song in front of 3 judges. I want to sing something that will show them that I'm able to perform the songs in the musical well. It's kind of like Grease so I need song suggestions that are from that decade or have that same style. Nothing really rock or blues. Thanks!
