So far as Aziraphale is concerned, Crowley is the top, and they'd have a good bicker about it if either of them could admit their feelings about it to one another. The angel has been told in so many words over the years by his superiors that he's nothing special. An eccentric angel full of harmless but peculiar quirks who isn't worth anybody's time.
But Crowley. Crowley is clever and creative and charming and ridiculous in all the right ways. Aziraphale would likely still be under Heaven's heavy thumb, if not for Crowley. Of course he lets Crowley hang around his bookshop. His books make him happy, but it's Crowley who makes him feel like someone worth knowing.
His heart aches suddenly. How he wishes he could just say these things. He masks his turmoil with a soft laugh over Crowley's remark. "And here I was under the mistaken impression that Cole Porter had fallen out of fashion." He then takes a furtive look around the restaurant as a thought occurs to him. What if it isn't the Cole Porter? An angel's aura can seep into the minds of mortals if one isn't careful. But no one seems to be acting strangely otherwise, so he relaxes and has a little more sake.
He hadn't been considering a solo while they wait, but if this is his only chance to express his feelings, he supposes he should take it. "Okay... okay, sure. Excuse me." He heads back to the karaoke machine, and the emcee graciously lets him go next, once he's selected something.
"If I loved you" from Carousel is a bit of a thematic change, but the lyrics speak to him, in that moment. It's likely the good sake. Aziraphale always gets a bit in his own head when he's drunk.
