 I can't speak for what would be fun to play while busking but I got suckered into singing once at a karoeki,(How do you spell that horror?) so I chose "Dang me" from Roger Miller. It was fun to sing amongst friendly acquintances. Got a positive reaction. (No fruit or vegetables were thrown) Not much help, I know, but hoping to stir up some more replies.

 Good luck on your busking.

Play songs that people will recognize right away, and don’t forget to SMILE :)

Ok, Ray. I do not busk but do play at markets with my display. I have not responded earlier because I do not play popular music. Well, maybe enough to put a couple in here and there. And it depends on what type of guitar I'm playing.

I play blues, and I find it goes down well, most people know of the blues but rarely see it played. So that's what I do. Many of the popular, folk, or country songs, I do are instrumental. I think people will stop and listen to anything presented well.
Even Straus, open tuning, with a slide, in G, and don't worry about a backing track. Hahaha.

 You know I wanna hear it... Probably not the only one.
