Guest Black Tiger Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 I'm making my second ever visit to karaoke tomorrow night, and I don't know what to sing. I'm a big fan of early-mid 90's rock/grunge, but I don't wanna sing the same stuff I sang last week (STP: Plus, Blind Melon: No Rain, and Guns N' Roses: November Rain). Any suggestions on stuff to sing? The place has like 3 or 4 songs from every band you could think of (the only exceptions so far are dope and The West Texas Rednecks)
Kardo Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 If you want laughs, Britney Spears - Slave 4 U is always good for an icebreaker with your friends.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Cracker-"Low" It's stupid easy, everyone knows it, and no one really likes it. Perfect bar song.
C Dubya 04 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Sweet Caroline is always an easy karaoke song to do. Gets good audience participation. I would've gone with "Sweet Child" instead of Nov. Rain. Slow serious songs usually bomb in my opinion. No one wants to hear you trying to sing seriously. It's about having fun. And being drunk.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Captain Beefheart-Neon Meate Dream of A Octafish. I would marry the person that sang this on karaoke. Male or female. The whole bar would shit on it, and it would be beautiful.
KK Rage Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 The songs that always seem to work are drunken bar country style ones like "Friends In Low Places"
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 My two: Bohemian Rhapsody Here I go Again Spring forth...
Lord of The Curry Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 "Piano Man" by Billy Joel always seems to work wonders for the drunks at the bar.
Guest HungryJack Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 La Bamba. teh entire bar will ADORE you ,no matter how bad you fuck it up. And fuck it up you will. DO IT.
Guest HungryJack Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 That, or Linoleum by NOFX. That's me inside your heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaddd
1234-5678 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 "Roadhouse Blues" by the Doors "Watching The Wheels" by John Lennon
Murmuring Beast Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Status Quo would go down quite well. Also, standards from Sinatra and Andy Williams. There's Elvis too.
1234-5678 Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 I'm making my second ever visit to karaoke tomorrow night, and I don't know what to sing. I'm a big fan of early-mid 90's rock/grunge, but I don't wanna sing the same stuff I sang last week (STP: Plus, Blind Melon: No Rain, and Guns N' Roses: November Rain). How did you voice hold up on November Rain?
Guest slacklet Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Guns N' Roses: November Rain I couldn't sing that unless I was playing a piano. Wouldn't feel right. "Hot Hot Hot" by Buster Poindexter brings the house down every time. CONGA!
Guest Black Tiger Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 I sang November Rain with this chick I met there, and we blew the roof off the place, everyone was clapping and telling us how great we were My voice held up fine, but I was pretty dry mouth afterwards. So far here's what I'm thinking about singing: Green Day: When I Come Around STP: Big Empty or Sex Type Thing AC/DC: Back In Black The Offspring: Self Esteem A buddy and I wanna do a duet of Mr. Crowley by Ozzy as well
KK Rage Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Oh, one time I got a standing O for Adam Sandler's "Piece Of Shit Car"
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 I don't understand why people try to sing their favourite song and absolutely butcher it. Just do a drunken rendition of a really bad song - thats what kareoke is all about.
Guest cobainwasmurdered Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 OH Danny Boy Tears from heaven- clapton
Guest Fook Posted May 18, 2004 Report Posted May 18, 2004 Sublime - What I Got Gets the entire bar singing along every time.
Kardo Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 At least you don't live here in Australia where everyone sings Khe Shan by Cold Chisel every second song.
Perfxion Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Depending on the bar, the songs to go for: Hip-Hop/RnB/Rap place: Will Smith - Summertime, Biz - Just A Friend, Michael Jackson Rock and all its heavier/softer sub-genre's: AC/DC will NEVER fail, Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park for having easier to remember Lyrics. Pop: Queen, The Jacksons, AC/DC, and Nsync ALL favorites
PLAGIARISM! Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Some slightly nervous tone deaf guy did 'How You Remind Me' last time I saw karaoke. Don't do that.
C Dubya 04 Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 OH Danny Boy Tears from heaven- clapton Those would kind of kill the fun wouldn't they? One of my favorite bars has Karaoke every Friday night. The best part of it is that the audience definitely let's you know when you suck. Seeing someone trying to be all serious and getting booed off stage = entertainment.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 If I get talked into it, I do a hilarious rendition of a couple Cher songs.
Guest INXS Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Sing some Poison, Every Rose Has It's Thorn!
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted May 19, 2004 Report Posted May 19, 2004 Tom Petty songs get involved at every karaoke night in my town. Everything he's ever done is singable rock music.
