your karaoke set list

both voices!!

i wz told it was a "phenomenon"

haha the best thing wz [xXx] wz there — we haven't been in the same room for i think two years, and we between us managed total non eye-contact, BUT i sang "lollipop (candyman)" by aqua (which includes the line "i wish that i were a bubblegum"), and [xXx] sang nothing so i win utterly

(i realise it doesn't actually work like that)

freda payne : band of gold
neil diamond : shiloh
the box tops : the letter
astrud gilberto : girl from ipanema
cheap trick : surrender

I'm no fun to do karaoke with. People have told me this. No one ever wants to follow my triumphant performances with their off-key drunken mushmouthed bleating.

If I'm too inebriated I've been known to attempt 'American Trilogy' - always a big mistake.

Take That - Back for Good
Queen - Don't Stop me Now
Queen - Killer Queen
Queen - I Want to Break Free
Frankie Vallie & the Four Seasons - Sherry
A-Ha - Take on Me
Pogues - Fairytale of New York (with Ally C)
Snoop Doggy Dogg - Who am I (What's my Name)
Sugababes - Freak Like Me
Britney Spears - Baby One More Time
Chicago - Hard to Say I'm Sorry
Eminem - Lose Yourself
Lionel Richie - Hello
Spice Girls - 2 Become 1
Manic Street Preachers - A Design for Life
Patsy Cline - Crazy

...and many more! (probably)

Make sure you're properly (un)dressed for your performance! "Wow, he really needs to learn the words to verse two, AND do a few sit-ups!"

"Paranoid", "Boys Are Back In Town", "Thong Song", and "Fill Me In".

Fuck it, I'ma' do it anyway.

"Semi-Charmed Life" - Third Eye Blind
"Swing, Swing" - The All-American Rejects
"Sucked Out" - Superdrag (the DJ at a karaoke night I used to frequent actually had this)
"Follow Me" - Uncle Kracker
"Right Now" - SR-71
"Girl All The Bad Guys Want" - Bowling For Soup

these are the songs i did do last weekend at karaoke

I've done well with:
"Keep On Lovin' You"
"Wild Horses"
"Angel From Montgomery"
"Feel Like Makin' Love"

There was a, er, KJ, who used to set up at my local who had "Tuesday's Gone." I live to find that again.

Also, why does every karaoke bar have "Love is the Drug" and "Virgina Plain" but no other Roxy? Very sad...

Baby One More Time

Get Into the Groove

reo speedwagon : keep on loving you
tracy chapman : fast car
burt bacharach : i'll never fall in love again
otis redding : these arms of mine

A friend did Cheap Trick's Surrender last night at Kiss-me-oke and it was fantastic. I may have to get drunk enough to attempt it sometime. If any karaoke bar ever has Fleetwood Mac Secondhand News, I'm doing it, but this has yet to happen. But mark my words!

Ain't "Keep On Loving You" teh sweet? It always brings me joy to catch the change on the second "and I meant, every word i said etc..."

Such a shame it's only two verses...

ha, this advice couldn't be more OTM if it were printed out and sat atop a pile of actual money.

some faves: "Genie In A Bottle," "I Wanna Sex You Up," "Ignition (Remix)," "Opposites Attract" (when forced by my pal Marie), "Frontin'"

Fall Out Boy- Dance Dance
Coolio- Gangsta's Paradise
DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremony- Do You Really Like It?
Suede- Beautiful Ones
Erasure- A Little Respect
Lisa Loeb- Stay
The Smiths- This Charming Man
