what would you do karaoke?

[emef]

i`ve never been to a karaoke, always wanted to but its not happened for me yet.

what would be your first choice song to sing at a karaoke night?

mine would be
shania twain - man! i feel like a woman.

second choice would be
pixies - broken face



i reckon they`d have the shania one though :)

[thomas hooked]

"Ne me quitte pas" by Jaques Brel and some scott walker whilst weeping inconsolably into a bucket of gin.

karaoke doesn't bring out the best in me.

[May Kasahara]

Oh Darling by the Beatles, probably - for some reason it's pitched exactly right for me to FUCKING BELT IT OUT and still remain in tune, emotionally drenching all before me with raw quivering need. So my neighbours say whenever I listen to it at home, anyway.

[Ladytron]

Thomas Dolby - I Scare Myself

[gypsy_cream]

if it was any song for karaoke:

dmx krew - you can't hide your love

[scott confusion]

walk on, gerry and the pacemakers.

[oolong]

my voice is too low to sing along with anything but barry white in the right octave ;o;

[FiST]

dominator by human resource.

[Ladytron]

emef, if we ever meet eachother we can make Thomas Dolby karaoke show :-)

[Orang Utan]

It would have to be something by Tony Christie

[scott confusion]

so come on admit it who on the board has done karoke and emabaresed them self...
i have... but im sure i was good.

[oolong]

i did when i was like 12... i sang 'i will survive'... got lots of applause

[Orang Utan]

I've never had the balls to do it.

[Ladytron]

i won 3rd prize singing one patriotic partizan song when i was 9 or 10. the serbian boy won. :-(

are you a woman?
kudos if you are a bloke that knew all the lyrics ;)
was it all women applauding and blokes looking miffed?

[Dangerman]

I hate karaoke!!!

[Yer_Maw]

roy orbison - in dreams, my tune. can do the high bit and everything.

done 'get back' by the beatles at the garage of all places, was absolutely steaming and kind of changed it into a rap about east kilbride and how getting back there is very difficult at certain times. some guy came up to me wanting to take over, said i was embaressing, but i told him to get tae feck and continued. good fun it was.

[cut out]

only ever done it once at a works do - did should i stay or should i go, which is good cos you don't have to sing.

my choice in future would be 'different drum', the version by the lemonheads, cos when i sing along with that, to my ears i sound bloody great

[V Knid esq]

I think I'd go for 100% stone cold karaoke classic: Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart.

call me a nerd, but it always pissed me off in that song that the grammar of the lyrics is incorrect

"...and the bitch... is working his shift"

karaoke wise, there's some old favorites I've been singing for years anyway

80ies rock:
Alice Cooper - Feed My Frankenstein
Mötley Crüe - Dr. Feelgood
Aerosmith - Love in the Elevator

80ies/90ies crap rap
MC Hammer - 2 Legit 2 Quit
Vanilla Ice - Ice Ice Baby

he says 'and the bitch, is working his shit.'

[nickjackson]

My favourite is 'you spin me round' by Dead or Alive. I love the deep voice. Also, Norman greenbaum 'spirit in the sky'.

[V Knid esq]

I can do an excellent Britney Spears 'Baby One More Time' in the style of Johnny Cash.

That'd be pretty interesting to hear... :)

the Shoop-Shoop Song (it's in his kiss) by Cher & Take Me Home - the version that Sophie Ellis-Bexter did get my vote...

Me and by mate Susie did a truly awful version of Don't You Want Me Baby not so long ago...

shift or shit don't matter, a bitch is of female gender.

[Sheridan]

I am not sure I am following you. you say a bitch is of female gender. in the song that is what he is refering to. the bitch (female and prostitute) 'is working his (man, the john or buyer of sex) shit'

red light district
I saw this dude on the street.
and the bitch (female moan) is working his shit (male moan)
can you tell me, what is wrong what is wrong.
it's just the money, that keeps the bitch going on.

[WON'T DO IT]

The night i met my girlfriend, her and her mate dragged me to this weird japanese karaoke place in sao paulo... it was quite seedy, basically loads of small rooms with black leather sofas, mirrored walls and a big tv screen, a couple of microphones and a 'menu' with all the songs listed.. You order drinks by telephone and it's quite a private thing...karaoke for the pure joy of karaoke if you like.. It was extremely bizzarre and the experience will stay with me until my grave. After they'd murdered a few popular classics , i'd had a few more beers and was feeling unbearably like a wet english killjoy ,i eventually plucked up the courage and did some silly 50's song the name of which escapes me...

@emef - i've SEEN you karaoke... or at least lip sync.... Cheerleaders live !!

[Sheridan]

I would pay loads of money to see emef sing that!!:)

[owain_k]

too true emef...........i thought your whole live show was like techno kareokie ;-)

As for my songs - would have to be Abba, Waterloo followed by a bit of sinatra, my way most likely......

[tania]

liza minelli and "fever" would be my choice

[7875]

say you, say me -the lionel
lady in red- chris deburge

[namshub]

i love karaoke!! tho it needs to be fueled by copious amounts of alcohol....

sum awesum choices here, i commend U all on yer great taste!

i fink i would like to do twisted sister : we're not gonna take it...

Yr all welcome to join in on tha chorus....

[Lady E]

some past triumphs:

transvision vamp - i want your love
irene cara - theme from fame
lionel ritchie - all night long (all night)
roy orbison - only the lonely
abba - dancing queen

i think irene is the way forward for karaoke, i want

Flashdance (what a feeling)

id also do

rolling stones - the girl with the faraway eyes

if this thread spurs on a karaoke craze, can any UK songstrels seach their karaoke sheets for super_collider tracks ? it wont be long and darn cold way o lovin are both on PRS as UK karaoke and sometimes we get 0.01 p for them having been used.

[May Kasahara]

I did Carwash once, predictably it was awful.

[goone]

i did the clash before when i was young and was rubbish
if i was roped into doing it again it would be an 80s classic
no doubt they always draw the biggest singalong from the crowd
maybe the human league or the stranglers or something

[May Kasahara]

As long as no one here chooses "I Will Always Love Yoo-ooo-oooooooo-ooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Ooooooooooooooooooooo" we should be okay. Why do the worst/drunkest karaoke singers always pick the most challenging tunes?

kevin blechdom does a great version of that ...she does the 'AND IIIIIIIII....' about 500 times more than you are supposed to. you go through every emotion from loving her to wanting to kill her to back to loving her loads.

isn't that a V/vm track using the original vocal?

[Marolo]

I can do a killer 'time after time' by Cyndi Lauper

[Lady E]

Originally posted by thomas hooked

dunno

she does it that way tho, when she plays live. its not on her 'bitches with britches' album although she covers 'private dancer' on that.

kevin is great.

[thomas hooked]

maybe its her then. i just remember hearing it in a record shop and pissing myself cos i always used to do that drunk with my brother, tho not as well.
possible innacuracy on the shopkeepers part.

key changes are the pits.

And that song, I can't remember the name

"Crying for you" I think !! he he he

[kams]

i did Ghostbusters by Ray Parker Jr in a pub in Peterborough once... cos bustin makes me feel good!

[aleks]

guns´n´roses-paradise city or sisqo-thong song or mötley crue-shout at the devil

[versis]

underworld - born slippy... "shouting lager lager lager" :)

and if my voice is good and my alcohol level sufficient, i'd try
robbie williams - angels
the lionel & diana ross - endless love (especially the diana ross part - i once felt like having to re-produce it at the pc *g* hopefully nobody gets a listen to it, it sounds pretty gay)

[zombie ritual]

slayer: hell awaits

no need to sing properly, just a lot of words to spit out, and of course you have to bring the "hell awaaaaiiiits" with conviction

[invisibleplanet]

oo, it's got to be 'some velvet morning' for me..
prefer primal scream version to hazlewood and sinatra by a long chalk..

[Scoz]

I've said this before, although maybe not here, I could never be drunk enough to do kareoki, or however it's spelt. I'd go from being sober and unable, to mildly drunk, to very drunk, to exceptionally drunk and unable to do kareoki, to being dieing of alcohol poisoning, and thus unable to do it.
