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 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.

I did that as a duet, my first and last time doing karaoke. I thought it was terrible. People told me our harmonies were great. Won’t do it again. Will never have that recipe again.

In recent weeks and months, I've hit a bunch of classic rock staples, such as The Beatles, Dylan, Springsteen, Simon and Garfunkel (along with some I am probably forgetting) and have branched out to some Spanish language material as well. Wondering if I am going to hit some kind of wall or burnout or just oversing one day and get hoarse.

My local host sometimes records sound bytes on the machine he also uses for karaoke, and he got me saying "I farted" and played it on loop for a few.
I did fart during a duet and my partner couldn't sing so well after

No shame. Maria Callas farted in many of her best performances. Yr partner needs to learn a little thing called professionalism.

I just can’t stomach karaoke videos which are just the original track with the vocal vaguely filtered.
― Bringing Up Initials B.B. (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 22 March 2023 16:15 (one year ago) link
might not be legal for a KJ to use those tracks either, depending on their source.
I didn't realize until a few of my KJ friends told me that KJs are expected to have 100% licensed tracks, and that enforcers for various copyright organizations often do inspections and that the KJs could be sued. my KJ friend got sued, for tracks she had legally purchased, but I guess the company that owned the license got acquired and the new company wanted her to repurchase them, so she tried to just remove them from her catalog, but they actually still sued her for a ridiculous amount of money (six figures), and she had to take a settlement that crippled her financially (this is the same KJ friend who passed away last year).
playing youtube karaoke videos that are clearly just someone who used one of those vocal remove devices on a track may not be legal, though apparently all tracks from Karafun are fair game.
one of the karaoke bars my KJ friend Di worked that, that fired her, her replacement KJs had tracks that were literal MIDI files. i was mortified singing Judas Priest over that.
