What's your Karaoke Song?

[Sedatedfork]

So -- just went to my work holiday party and they had karaoke. I killed with my rendition of Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild. And followed up with a Billy Idol -- White Wedding. What's your karaoke hit?

 

[NattaNerNuttaMan]

Thanks to the RockBand game it is now Creep by Radiohead...lol

 

[THE HCP]

Let's get it on. Marvin Gaye.

 

[BrianFromWA]

If they have newer songs, it's Mr Brightside.

For older stuff, "We Built This City" and "Ring of Fire"

Just for fun: Baby Got Back, Regulators and Total Eclipse of the Heart (preferably "Dan Band" version)

Oh, shit, son. I karaoke a disgusting amount. I went tonight. Let's see what I sang.

"I Want Your Sex" by George Michael
"Killer Queen" by Queen
"Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees
"She Drives Me Crazy" by FYC
"Beautiful Girls" by Sean Kingston
"All Out of Love" by Air Supply
"Gay Bar" by Electric Six
"Separate Ways" by Journey

My voice gave out with about six words left in "Open Arms", which was my last song of the night. Perfect timing.

I think that my favorite songs, though, are "Paradise City" by Guns and Roses and "Your Love" by the Outfield.

How's that for suddenly revealing a massive geeky streak?

I do not karaoke, but if I were to do so.. I would totally sing The Locomotion by Kylie Minogue.

Wow -- 8 songs -- that's a huge set! LoL One time I had to spend the night in Bend for work and they had a Karaoke Bar in the hotel. I sang 6 songs -- and I thought that was a lot! Besides the 2 I named above, I did Ice Ice Baby (Until some drunk chick stole the mic from me and finished the song), Me and Bobby McGee, Cleaning Out My Closet, and then Picture or whatever the song is with Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. Your Love is a great song. I don't go to Karaoke bars that much, but I do love me some rock band and guitar hero.

8 is a bit excessive... there are two stages at the bar I go to, I know the hosts, and while there were a ton of people (lots of WSU fans because of the game a few blocks away) not that many people were singing.

I don't know how well I'll be able to talk today.

I have only sang Karaoke one time a long time ago and I sang The Distance by Cake. Well, not so much sang as "performed".

I like to flex a lot while I am singing/rapping it. Seems weird, but it seems to work.

[The Professional Fan]

Hmmmm....

"Plush" - Stone Temple Pilots
"Don't You Forget About Me" - Simple Minds
"Escape" - Rupert Holmes (aka, Pina Colada song)
"Careless Whisper" - George Michael
"Break My Stride" - Matthew Wilder'
"Silent Lucidity" - Queensryche
"Hunger Strike" - Temple of the Dog
"All I Want" - Toad the Wet Sprocket
"Comfortably Numb" - Pink Floyd
"Africa" - Toto

Some I do by myself, some I do in tandem with a friend of mine. We have a Karaoke band, and we call ourselves "Piss Cakes"

 

[Ed O]

"Africa" - Toto

This is one of the few songs that I've butchered more than once... I usually figure out if a song just doesn't work for me, but this keeps pulling me back in!

Mine are Sister Christian and Me and Bobby McGee (which is kind of weird for a guy to sing).

Perhaps I should clarify. Just because I *do* Karaoke, doesn't mean I'm particularly good at it. I would never attempt "Africa" on my own. I reserve this song for Piss Cakes or a large group of us go up and and "gang sing" it.

I could never nail the vocals on "Africa" - but it just happens to be one of me and my friends all time favorite songs. It's kind of our anthem, so we go for it. Typically, patrons think we're idiots, and they're ususally right.

 

[The Professional Fan]

Oh, forgot about another song I love to Karaoke

"Land Down Under" - Men at Work

 

[blue32]

My girlfriend likes to do Little Red Corvette, so if you ever see a dirty blonde gettin' down and some dude, chuggin tequila shots, thats us!

 

[mobes23]

Livin' on a Prayer - Bon Jovi. Easy to sing. Hit 'em with the oh wa oh wa oh wa thing at the beginning and get easy laughs to get the crowd going. Then throw in a couple power fists and the crowd goes wild. Also works really well if you get a couple other dudes up there with you.
