your karaoke set list

So the owner originally told me that he was stopping the midnight karaoke on weekends meaning Friday, Saturday and Sunday to let the live music go later while putting in an open mic on Tuesday, but yesterday he said he was going to extend the open mic to more nights so going forward karaoke will only be on Thursday. Which is fine with me since that is the best night for me anyway. Just kind of glad that I did my little karaoke krash kourse while I could.

Perhaps, at the risk of further embarassment, I will share some of the fruits of Dr. Redd's Experiment in the near future.

Believe they will be open on Thanksgiving evening.

Only no one can sing anything but Xmas songs for the next month.

I would love to do "Don't Stop Me Now."

where eagles dare

my actual go-to at k nights, but it's lost its luster after Di passed away :(

all Bee Gees is fun actually. like "Jive Talking", "Staying Alive","Nights on Broadway", "I Started a Joke", so many styles you can play w/. maybe the best karaoke song to sing really.

that's a good one

Now "Somebody to Love" would be a bridge too far.

Gonna try two new ones tonight.

Lots of Chente Fernandez this evening.

This is another situation where the same guy keeps singing almost all the tunes. He’s up to a half dozen now.

Okay I got my two shots in.

Let me shoot a seven with every shot-tah

Gonna need to start seeing videos

For VAR analysis?

So I can be your audience!

A friend of mine sang "Horny" last weekend at karaoke and it was a really good choice

Last time, I did a bad thing: I repeated "Superstition" from the time before.

In my defence, that was a full band called "Bandaoke" so.

*sigh*

There’s also this thread: Karaoke Log

“Stacy’s Mom” not so hot
“Bizarre Love Triangle” really good

Although lots of words to get through in the verses that go buy pretty fast in the latter.

I think I’m going to work on Wicked Game

Cool!

I pulled off "Bitch is Back" last week.

"After the Love is Gone" is getting better but the key change initially fucks with me

I thought about "Bitch is Back" but couldn't tell if it wasn't too high for me.

it sits right at the top of mine but I've somehow developed a rock 'n roll rasp in my highest register in the last few years and it makes it work.

but breathing is tricky on that chorus.

Cool. Wonder if there is a way to fake that rasp without smoking or making oneself hoarse etc

did karaoke at my friend’s house on NYE with YouTube videos and a party microphone that puts funny filters on your voice. among the songs performed by one or another of us:

Stratford on Guy
Tear in Your Hand
Teenage Kicks
So Hard (PSBs)
Both Hands
Pretend We’re Dead
The Ledge
Do They Know It’s Christmas?
I Don’t Want to Get Over You
Wichita Lineman

Love Wichita Lineman so much

Cool! Witchita Lineman is totally in my queue! EIther that or Galveston.

Nice that everybody likes The Undertones, or is it a Derry Girls ripple effect?

morbs sang WL at a karaoke party i had once ;_;

TK was thrown up by the YT algorithm after another song i did (which escapes me now), so i ended up claiming it. fun and fairly easy song to sing!

That must have been after certain posts in the archive I came across recenty.

Or even here

"The Ledge" as in The Replacements, or is there another one?

fleetwood mac song from 'tusk'

Did you try to imitate Feargal Sharkey or just sing in your own voice?

Did 'Teenage Kicks' at live band karaoke, and it's my one shining karaoke moment that I can say the crowd was like really into. It's a winner, for sure.

Here are a couple I keep considering but then I think why bother: "Johnny and Mary" and "I Wanna Be Sedated."

I can, so I do.

One time, we were in town, and I could hear "Teenage Kicks" in the distance, however my wife said "that's you" as in it was coming from my mobile. So I get it out, and find it's literally me from an old band practice.

Ah. Good story.

I think I’m going to work on Wicked Game
