your karaoke set list

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'"

Coolio- Gangsta's Paradise
DJ Pied Piper and the Masters of Ceremony- Do You Really Like It?

head like a hole w/ servant friend

Went for an all-90s night at karaoke last week.

Matchbox 20 - Push
Indigo Girls - Closer to Fine
Counting Crows - Long December

People went nuts for all three. I think the potential for mining 90's radio rock nostalgia among 20-somethings has gone relatively unnoticed at least at karaoke. In the same vein, the all-time biggest response I've ever gotten at karaoke was for 4 Non Blondes - What's Up (What's Going On).

I do a lot of rap, like T.I.'s Dead and Gone, and have also done Nas's "If I Ruled the World" several times. like to also do stuff like Kool and the Gang's "Too Hot", Barry White's "Practice What You Preach", and "Razzle Dazzle" from Chicago.

i'm a semi-professional singer (in that some of my gigs unpaid, some paid), so like I also do at rehearsals for performances, sometimes I tape performances to see what I can improve on in the future. last night I sang "Father Figure" and did that but the Blackberry was next to this obnoxious guy who was singing along. I got to the riff at the end ("I will be youuuuuuuuuuuurs, FATHERRRRRRRRRRRR, I'll be your daddy, oh"), and on the recording you hear the guy go "HE GOT IT!". made me lol.

last week did Bubba Sparxxx--Ugly (boring song to do) and T.I.'s Live in the Sky. gonna try Big Shit Poppin' this week!

The only songs I've ever done are:

"Shiny Happy People" - R.E.M.
"Candy Everybody Wants" - 10,000 Maniacs
"Crush On You" - The Jets (have 0 recollection of actually doing this, btw)
"Let The Music Play" - Shannon

the last two were duets with donna rouge, who saved me from looking like a COMPLETE fool.

dj kool - let me clear my throat

I've done...

"Ziggy Stardust"
"Under The Milky Way"
"Nowhere Man"

I don't mean 2 brag but I keeled dat T.I. Song alsoi am kinda drunk

me and my friend gonna try "Fuck Wit Dre Day" tonight. can't believe they made a karaoke track for this!

i love karaoke
my fav. song is i believe i can fly
i stretch my arms out like i'm flying

weirdly enough this one seems to show up most places and is my go-to when i don't wanna attempt notes.

girlfriend always does lola and has a pretty mean drop-to-her-knees-and-fist-pump move.

i need to karaoke again.

this dude I know did "Tequila" once. he would run around the entire bar for the entire verses flailing all crazy just to return to the mic in time to say "Tequila". it was total performance art.

i mostly rapaoke, not that I can't sing (I can) but it's like when will I ever have the chance again IRL. I'm a skinny nerdy white dude. :)

sang last night:

madonna "into the groove"
prince "when doves cry"
blink-182 "what's my age again?" -- someone else's pick, i filled in b/c apparently they left before it was played
ke$ha "tik tok"
adam lambert "whataya want from me"

everyone was prett drunk by the last two so they were big singalongs w/ ilxor on da mic

everyone was pretty drunk by the last two

(whoops)

haven't been in a while, last song I sang was She's Like the Wind, and the host (a friend of mine) pointed out the ridiculousness of the lyrics throughout

How'd you do on that Lambert song? I couldn't sing a line for my life.

Usually Bowie for me. I do a mean Bowie.

How'd you do on that Lambert song? I couldn't sing a line for my life.
