Karaoke: what song would you choose?

lumberjim · 04-09-2010, 09:11 PM

What song do you sing the best? What song do you think you sing well enough to sing in front of other drunk people?

squirell nutkin · 04-09-2010, 10:05 PM

How drunk are we, and are we going for sincere or camp?

lumberjim · 04-09-2010, 10:08 PM

too drunk to drive, but you'll be OK in like 2 hours.... if you have some chicken wings or meatballs or sumpin. and you're trying to impress that hot blonde with the big bewbs that seems to work here somehow.

Nina Simone's "My Baby Just Cares for Me".
Last year a friend had a 60th birthday party, and invited a Karaoke compere to her party. The compere didn't know us at all, and we are all pretty musical. At the end of the evening she (the compere) said she had had the most amazing time as we could all sing our songs really well, even the karaoke virgins like myself!

Unless it's Tracey Chapman or someone of a similar timbre, it would have to be a song by a male artist. I ain't got no soprano range. I do best with upper-end tenor males, like Bare Naked Ladies.

Under similar conditions plus a raw throat from staying up all night talking to a high school buddy I broke out Mack the Knife heavy on the bottom end because my high range was awol. I got a "Where did that voice come from?" because I could have made Louis Armstrong's shoes vibrate that night. Normally I have good baritone range sneaking up through tenor... then again normally I'm sober and won't go near a mic.

I'd do yellow ledbetter.

I would have to really trust someone and consider them a friend to even try.

I would karaoke in the privacy of my own home. My neighbors are really fortunate I don't have a machine. I don't think they would care or even hear since I don't mind their bag pipes. I hope that kid can play Silent Night before Christmas otherwise she needs to pick another song to learn. ( She has been playing it SINCE Christmas

)
They are sweet kids though.

in order for me to sing karaoke, I'd have to be a little buzzed, but jinx would have to be loh ho hoaded to let me. she'd be far more embarrassed for me than i'd be for myself.

one day, not too far from now, video chat with audio will be good enough that we can all get together and do this.

Bob Dylan: Blowin in the Wind ... I do a mean Dylan impression. I did this once at a karaoke party. Went down well :P
