Your Karaoke song

jimhelm • Feb 22, 2013 12:03 am
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?

Heartbreak Hotel.

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. :)
Sundae • Feb 22, 2013 4:58 am
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.
Griff • Feb 22, 2013 6:24 am
Crazy Mary - Pearl Jam
Trilby • Feb 22, 2013 6:49 am
Purple Haze or Dazed and Confused.

Maybe Touch of Grey.
glatt • Feb 22, 2013 8:20 am
Gimme The Car - Violent Femmes

because I can hit the notes, and it would be funny
Nirvana • Feb 22, 2013 8:57 am
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.
jimhelm • Feb 22, 2013 10:52 am
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..
infinite monkey • Feb 22, 2013 10:57 am
Did you film it? Good song.

'Cause, like, some of y'all can actually sing! I am not among those.
Gravdigr • Feb 22, 2013 11:35 am
Ave Maria.
infinite monkey • Feb 22, 2013 11:37 am
Huh-uh.

I'm laughing as I visualize that.

"Next up...Myrtle with a rousing rendition of Hallelujah Chorus! Hit it, Myrtle!"

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.
infinite monkey • Feb 22, 2013 1:00 pm
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

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. ;)
jimhelm • Feb 22, 2013 2:34 pm
I think The Sidler is cellar stalking you
infinite monkey • Feb 22, 2013 2:39 pm
I wonder!

He's a nosy little bugger. :nosesmilie:
Chocolatl • Feb 23, 2013 8:37 am
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."
footfootfoot • Feb 23, 2013 9:18 am
"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. ;)
orthodoc • Feb 23, 2013 9:50 am
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.

we could do a duet!
Pete Zicato • Feb 23, 2013 6:05 pm
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.
xoxoxoBruce • Feb 23, 2013 8:53 pm
I'm a badass, I'd sing Happy Birthday and refuse to pay the royalty. :vikingsmi
Big Sarge • Feb 23, 2013 10:00 pm
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. ;)
monster • Feb 24, 2013 12:10 am
No.

Hallelujah. ".....I used to live alone before I knew you..."

One time show? I'd do it.
orthodoc • Feb 24, 2013 12:28 pm
Hallelujah ... perfect. Scrap the other stuff, I'd do Hallelujah. :) (Sorry for the plagiarization, joe!)
footfootfoot • Feb 24, 2013 1:02 pm
I might do:
Autumn Leaves
1952 Vincent Black Lightning
Summer Side of Life
Ghost Riders in the Sky

Chocolatl • Feb 26, 2013 4:11 pm
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.

Trilby • Feb 26, 2013 4:18 pm
wow. You have a beautiful singing voice, choco! I never knew! and Beans reaction is fascinating; that was just lovely. thanks.

That was so cute!
Flint • Feb 26, 2013 4:24 pm
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???

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
