Guest Black Tiger Report post 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted May 18, 2004 Cracker-"Low" It's stupid easy, everyone knows it, and no one really likes it. Perfect bar song. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C Dubya 04 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest slacklet Report post 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Black Tiger Report post 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pop: Queen, The Jacksons, AC/DC, and Nsync ALL favorites Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

C Dubya 04 0 Report post 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.
