Your Karaoke song
You're at a bar you've never been in, and most likely will never be in again. You're with friends that love you as you are. They've all done below average renditions of bad songs. You're up.
What do you sing? What. Do. You. Sing?
Too Good To Be True - Frankie Valli
Joy To The World - Three Dog Night
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz
Take your pick.
Actually, there's plenty more. I've even been known to belt out the odd Aretha tune after a few brewskis. :)
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn (Cher)
A Change Would Do You Good - Sheryl Crowe
I gotta know I can hit all the notes before I stand up and sing.
I'll enjoy it anyway, but it's more fun to belt it out than squeak.
Purple Haze or Dazed and Confused.
Maybe Touch of Grey.
Gimme The Car - Violent Femmes
because I can hit the notes, and it would be funny
White Rabbit or
Bobby McGee
Only one I've ever sang:
Walk Like an Egyptian
I just like to do the eye thingy a la Susanna Hoffs.
I chose 'elderly woman behind a counter in a small town'
I almost used the word 'did' instead of chose....but then I remembered zen gum might see that and..
Did you film it? Good song.
'Cause, like, some of y'all can actually sing! I am not among those.
Huh-uh.
I'm laughing as I visualize that.
"Next up...Myrtle with a rousing rendition of Hallelujah Chorus! Hit it, Myrtle!"
Ave Maria.
Quite. I can see/hear it now.
Do you own a banjo? Coz Ave Maria accompanied by a banjo would be freaking awesome.
And MORE cowbell! that song is amazingly lacking in cowbell.
OK, how weird is it that The Sidler just came into my office singing Walk Like An Egyptian?
Can he hear me TYPING it?
Then he was asking for the 411 on an email we got, wondering who the culprit was. Oh no, I'm not getting involved in all that.
I know NOTHING. I see NOTHING.
But I know.

No, but I plan to perform wearing a belly-dancing outfit complete with finger-cymbals.
I won't be needing an [Strike]accompa- accompian--accompais[/Strike]---a banjo player.

Ha! I get it.
However, since you have me on ignore you won't be getting this post on how I got your post.
GAWD I hate it when people purposely post around you. :D
...However, since you have me on ignore...
I don't get it.
You are very unignorable.
I'm just messin'
Really I wanted recognition for my Myrtle joke. I'm such an attention ho. ;)
I think The Sidler is cellar stalking you
I wonder!
He's a nosy little bugger. :nosesmilie:
I have never had the guts to get up and do karaoke in front of a crowd.
But if I did, I might just do "Leaving on a Jet Plane" or Patsy Cline's "Crazy."
"You and the night and the music"
Oh, and infi, ask your local mod to see how much traffic is coming from your IP address. I'm sure your ass is being watched. ;)
I've never done karaoke either. If I did, I might sing 'Bobby Magee'. Or 'Brown Eyed Girl' in a duet or group.

True, but I should hope that my voice sounds more like Patsy Cline's than Willie Nelson's.
It's Mrs. Z's birthday today, but we had the party last night. And I asked this question at the table. Mrs. Z chose either Edelweiss or I've Got Confidence from Sound of Music. Wouldn't she just.
To balance things out my buddy chose Snortin' Whiskey.
I'm a badass, I'd sing Happy Birthday and refuse to pay the royalty. :vikingsmi
I'd strip don't to my thong and belt out "Don't cha" by the Pussycats.
But, you''ll catch me singing "Wish I Had an Angel" when I'm in the truck or shower. ;)
No.
no karaoke or the thoughts of a molting panda in a thong????
Hallelujah. ".....I used to live alone before I knew you..."
One time show? I'd do it.
Hallelujah ... perfect. Scrap the other stuff, I'd do Hallelujah. :) (Sorry for the plagiarization, joe!)
I might do:
Autumn Leaves
1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Summer Side of Life
Ghost Riders in the Sky
I never know where to look when I sing, so instead I filmed our chicken puppet singing Patsy Cline's "Crazy" to Beans. I was lying on my stomach, so some of the longer notes petered out and it's awfully breathy, but... here we go. The closest I'll ever come to karaoke in front of a crowd.

wow. You have a beautiful singing voice, choco! I never knew! and Beans reaction is fascinating; that was just lovely. thanks.
:notworthy
That was so cute!
Michael Jackson, Off The Wall
(1979, produced by Quincy Jones)
Of course, I would transpose down one octave where necessary.
Or, Steely Dan, Pretzel Logic.
I stepped up on the platform,
The man gave me the news,
He said you must be joking, son,
Where did you get those shoes?
Where did you get those shoes???

yEAH!
I'm partial to this line from Hey Nineteen
The Cuervo Gold
The fine Columbian
make tonight a wonderful thing
Can't Buy a Thrill!
The world that we used to know
People tell me it don't turn no more
The places we used to go
Familiar faces that ain't smilin' like before
The time of our time has come and gone
I fear we been waiting too long
