Instead of a full first-fret barre, for instance, you could play the F chord by wrapping your thumb around the neck to fret the F on string 1 and using fingers 3, 4, 2, and 1 on strings 5, 4, 3, and 2, respectively. After that you can move into the other ones, once they know what to expect. Begin learning the song by making sure those chords are comfortably under your fingers, and feel free to use alternate shapes. Da Vinci's Notebook has always been the big winner though, especially if you play it first- since it doesn't start off out of the ordinary, the first penis line always takes everyone by surprise and gets a great reaction. My personal favorites are Da Vinci's Notebook, The Lonely Island, and, depending on your generation, The Pokemon Theme.
