G: Yeah — if “9 to 5” as Frank-N-Furter got nixed, I’d switch to songs where Frank’s theatrical arrogance/sexual menace/camp can be laid over the song rather than songs that merely fit Tim Curry’s voice.

A few that strike me as particularly good:

And there are two actual Rocky Horror fallbacks worth remembering. “I Can Make You a Man” is only about two minutes and is essentially Frank showing off, while “Sweet Transvestite” is the obvious full-scale character showcase; both have commercially released karaoke versions. citeturn0search0

I would not choose “I’m Going Home” tonight unless you specifically want the room to turn emotional. It's Frank's vulnerable song already, and given Curry's death this week—and the Broadway cast literally using “I'm Going Home” for its Curry tribute last night—it now carries a lot more memorial weight than it normally would. citeturn0news24turn0news26

For what I think you were trying to accomplish with “9 to 5”, my first five auditions would be I Put a Spell on You → The Bitch Is Back → I’m Too Sexy → Sex Bomb → Love Potion No. 9. Those give you five substantially different ways of doing Frank sings a song that was never supposed to belong to Frank.
