nothing is worse than when everybody sings Bohemian Rhapsody as a group

White people = white Americans? If so, this is somewhat accurate.
― pomenitul, Sunday, 21 May 2017 12:35 (six years ago) link
I'd wager 'Bohemian Rhapsody' is the likeliest correct answer.

With no other input but the thread title and the last half-dozen posts or so (reading from the bottom on Zing), for some read my brain immediately started looping the chorus from Mr. Brightside, before I even looked at the poll

This song is mostly played at sporting events in America now, and even though those often have very ethically diverse crowds

"nothing is worse than when everybody sings Bohemian Rhapsody as a group"
yes, yes there is something worse. It's when groups of white people sing all 56788 verses of American Pie together, which I endured on July 4th in 1995.

I fuckin hate the song to begin with (unlike BR, which I am just sick of but is legit awesome)
Beyond Turnt, though..

Voting for the one on here I flat out love, with no reservations: 'Come On, Eileen.'
Absolute classic.
― Austin, Sunday, 21 May 2017 22:26 (six years ago) link
"Come On Eileen" is good but also annoying.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 21 May 2017 22:54 (six years ago) link
"Under Pressure" is amazing tho and probably wouldn't have been eligible had Vanilla never been born.
― billstevejim, Sunday, 21 May 2017 22:55 (six years ago) link
under pressure and come on eileen are prob the only songs here i don't hate
eh, i guess i don't hate eye of the tiger

75% of the "white/lame/boring" appeal is within the first 5 seconds when people are unsure whether it's "Under Pressure" or "Ice Ice Baby."

Ah, also "Harlem Shuffle" and "Jump Around"
See, see the white folks run back to the chairs when they find it's "Harlem Shuffle" !
Run, White Folks, Run...

Never heard of these:
Zac Brown Band - Chicken FriedToby Keith - Red Solo Cup
Looking forward to getting beyond turnt by them at some point soon.
Would add:
Ace of Base - All That She Wantsand definitely House of Pain - Jump Around, which is the ne plus ultra of this kind of thing

i loled at most of these... except for "sweet caroline". it's horrifying and sobering to consider the possibility that poc think that white folks are all red sox fans.

'Paradise By the Dashboard Light' and 'Friends in Low Places' are some glaring (although possibly more regional in their turntness) exclusions from this list.
― human/hutt hybrid (Old Lunch), Monday, 22 May 2017 13:48 (six years ago) link
Also possibly out of date (source: Old Lunch's rural high school dances).

Mustang Sally is another one. I dunno, I could just list all the songs people used to karaoke down the SU

Didn't know the term either, thanks NYCNative for the link.I'm going for 'Eye of the Tiger', although I'm sure that there are many more better picks out there. Wouldn't the following all be even better already?Trashmen - Surfin' BirdRay Parker Jr - GhostbustersMichael Jackson - ThrillerAC/DC - Highway to HellSteppenwolf - Born to be WildScatman John - Scatman

I lasted about 20 seconds into both of these. I really really wish I hadn't bothered
― Shat Parp (dog latin), Monday, 22 May 2017 14:47 (six years ago) link
Had to look up "turnt"..."Sweet Home Alabama" is the only song here I count as now and forever turnt-worthy; "American Pie" comes close. There are bunch more I like. The two Bon Jovis are the two I hate the most. I don't know three or four of them.
― clemenza, Monday, 22 May 2017 14:51 (six years ago) link
(Including the two in the previous post--quite content to go on not knowing them.)

i don't know if this is universally applicable, but in indiana by far the most turnt-inducing white people song was "crazy train".
― Cyborg Kickboxer (rushomancy), Monday, 22 May 2017 15:26 (six years ago) link
just yell "ALLLL ABOOOOOARD!" and start cackling maniacally and hoosiers will absolutely lose their shit
A lot of these are okay, possibly even good fun songs, but WAY overplayed. Always liked Ice Ice Baby (bizarrely it's one of my Dad's favourite songs).

There is definitely a sort of meta thing I notice when people do a lot of these songs in karaoke where they're not just performing the fantasy of being Jon Bon Jovi but performing the fantasy of being the cool party person who karaokes Bon Jovi.

As far as blanket arguments against white people go, this one I'll allow.
Should've included "Love Shack" tho.
― insidious assymetrical weapons (Eric H.), Thursday, 25 May 2017 03:44 (six years ago) link
Also, a pretty good approximation of perpetual karaoke hell if you add "Jack and Diane" and "Baby Got Back."

Might be a regional thing, but "Wagon Wheel" seems to be a pretty big bar band drunken singalong tune here.
