I'm fairly bored, and after mooching pizza from the Christian group on campus...I may partake in karaoke. But here's the thing: what should I do?

I'm thinking of Seven Nation Army, but that may be a bit too simple...or not even on the playlist.

...and go.

 

[SlickWilly223]

ACDC - FOR THOSE ABOUT TO ROCK (WE SALUTE YOU)
Velvet Revolver - Slither??
Survivor - Eye of the Tiger??
Ozzy - Crazy Train??
Quiet Riot - Bang Your Head??
OMC - How Bizarre??

I honestly don't know, I've never been in the situation.

 

[Escape Goat]

So Happy Together by The Turtles

 

[Mercury Fred]

Songs I've karaoked and lived to tell about:

Queen- Bohemian Raphsody
Tatu- All the Things She Said (with my best friend and us doing a faked fake lesbian make out session)
Joni Mitchell- Big Yellow Taxi
ABC- Jackson 5

I say, unless you have an amazing voice, go for something fun/ silly/ goofy and rope in friends to back you up.

Nice idea with BR. I remember all the words for it by heart...heh.

I don't have a good singing voice (Trust me, it sucks), but I can match pitch with damn near anything. I guess it's because I like to sing along with "My Immortal."

[evil ways]

Sister Christian by "Night Ranger"

 

[dem]

Bon Jovi + Karaoke = pure gold

 

[way more]

Rod Stewart - Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?


Seven Nation Army is on no karoake machine in the world.

 

[hXc_thugg]

Bright Eyes - Lover I don't Have to Love. I'm sure you can sing better than Conor Oberst.

 

[Makura]

Bob Seger - We've got tonight darn it!

 

[Ferrio]

We Didn't start the fire -- Billy Joel

You don't even have to sing, just talk fast.

 

[Azwethinkweiz]

Bon Jovi + Karaoke = pure gold

Yeah I was gonna say do "Livin on a Prayer"

 

[Miguel]

Welcome to the Jungle.

Although, I'd have to start out by saying

WHAT IS UP! A TREMENDOUS THURSDAY TO YOU

 

[Eminem]

Something by Journey

 

[MrPing1000]

Karaoke is the spawn of the devil, all that take part in it must die a slow painful death. Ping has spoken.

 

[Dyne]

The only time I've done Karaoke I sung Tom Jones. Go for Tom Jones, it's easy as heck.

I have a recording of mine. I wonder why I haven't burned it yet.

Having gotten roped into a Tom Jones karaoke-style performance for a drama class performance (Which sadly involved me getting up on a table seductively...I'd rather not talk about it), I can honestly say it's quite easy to sing. Just...don't. For your own sake.

 

[-=DoAvl=-]

Everytime - Britney Spears

Girls Just wanna have fun - cindy lauper

 

[Fusebox]

My fave is Livin On A Prayer by the Jovis, and after a few beers I reckon I absolutely nail it!

 

[=W=]

I did karaoke once.


Once.


"I Will Survive".

 

[Chony]

Beach Boys - Barbaran

 

[Boogie9IGN]

Crocodile Rock by Elton John ;D

 

[retardboy]

Weather Girls - It's raining men

 

[sprsk]

holy diver- dio

 

[Triumph]

"Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen.

Trust me. If the karaoke dude doesn't have it on his machine, punch him in the genitals.

Also, we have 7 Nation Army on our karaoke dude's machine. I sang it two weeks ago! And then "Whipping Post" by Allman Brothers!

 

[Pattergen]

Girls Just wanna have fun - cindy lauper

Yes.

Or

Savage Garden (any song)

 

[Matlock]

"Fat Bottomed Girls" by Queen.

That's so going to be next week. I pulled off Bohemian Rhapsody...somehow. I did the falsetto bits as well (read: not really all that good) as I could. Even tossed the rock-star point and flirt with one of the judges. She gave me an 8/10...Heh. My final score was:

Style 6/10
Vocals 7/10
Originality 8/10

So I feel I did pretty good for myself.

But Fat Bottomed Girls...outside...with a large crowd...I think I can pull some audience participation in that, get some extra points for myself and get closer to winning a DVD player. I'll take the rest of the suggestions into mind, but I'm set on doing Welcome to the Jungle for my third week.

 

[DrEvil]

Collective Soul - Why pt 2.
It's my staple song
Along with
Sublime - What I got
and
Simple Minds - (Dont' You) Forget about me

 

[Fifty]

Sing this song.......Drunk.

http://www.szym.com/scatman/sctman.html


Oh, and Sporks kicks so much ass for suggesting Holy Diver.

 

[Eminem]

yeah, you should do Scatman John - Scat Man


That would bring the house down.

 

[NLB2]

Muffin Man by Frank Zappa.

 

[Miguel]

I'll take the rest of the suggestions into mind, but I'm set on doing Welcome to the Jungle for my third week.

FROM LOS ANGELES....THIS...IS THE JIM ROME SHOW!

 

[Hooker]

I'd like to see someone do "Immigrant Song" by Led Zep once

 

[BlackMage]

Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane like Jim Carrey did in Cable guy. Or you could do alice by jefferson airplane!

 

[Matlock]

Somebody to Love by Jefferson Airplane like Jim Carrey did in Cable guy. Or you could do alice by jefferson airplane!

That'd be the fourth week, then.

 

[Matlock]

I took a different route tonight, but I'll get back to the schedule!

Tonight's Song: "You've Lost that Lovin' Feeling."
Scores:
Voice: 7 (woulda got at least a 9 from the judge who replaced her)
Originality: 9.5
Style: 9

So close to winning a DVD player! Bastards!

 

[=W=]

Shoulda done "You Shook Me All Night Long" by AC/DC. Then you would have gotten a DVD player and some laid.

 

[Matlock]

Nice thing you mentioned the latter part, Weezer, but that's a tale for another day.

 

[Patrick Klepek]

you just have to tell us every mundane detail about college, don't you?

 

[explodet]

FIGHT!

I've done Ob-la-di, Ob-la-da before... in front of around 150 strangers. Sober.

 

[Darias]

I've always sworn that the only time I would *ever* think about doing karaoke was if the following two conditions were fulfilled:

A) Something by Rammstein is on the playlist.

B) I am NOT in Germany.

 

[ErasureAcer]

Next song I Karaoke too...will be "Drive" by The Cars.

So far I've sang:

Ace of Base-The Sign
Bon Jovi-Always(Drunk)
Belinda Carlisle-I Get Weak(drunk)
Sir Mix a Lot-Baby Got Back(drunk, but only the last half as the person singing the song told me to join in...and at the time it seemed like a good idea...lol).
