Does anybody here like karaoke? What's your favorite karaoke song, what do you like to sing, or what would you sing?

Never listened to any Karaoke but this brings to mind the Miller light commercials, don't know if anyone has heard them on the radio but they're hilarious. The "rise to the occasion" miller light ads.

I LOVE KARAOKE!!!!!!

There is this karaoke bar here called the Circle Inn, I've made a fool of myself many a time there

(that's also where I got that green drink Kevin has spoken of

).

Ok, to the point...A guy I used to sort of see, him and a friend of his would sing Gorrilaz - Clint Eastwood...they were great, I love that song. I tried to do it, lol..didn't do well.

When I go to Karaoke, I decide what to sing based on the crowd and have a few songs I'm pretty good at, and always sing one of them first..I call it my confidence builder song.

If it's a younger crowd, I start off Metallica - Enter Sandman

If it's an older crowd I start off Red Hot Chili Peppers - Under the Bridge

Sometimes I decide to sing that Stray Cat Strut song.

And other times I sing Matchbox 20 - Push.

Those are my usual songs, then after those it varies what I sing based on my mood

Oh, I thought Karaoke was a type of music, like it was its own "genre" or something. Only thing I know is that it comes from the Japanese word harmonious melody or something like that... (that's why I brought up the miller light commercial

)

hehe, someone told me once it was japanese for tone deaf, but who knows

But yeah, it's just kinds singing at a bar or somewhere..where the words come up on a screen and there is the music, but you get to sing

...lots of fun AND the more drunk you get, the more fun it is

On the rare occasions I do karaoke (not that I'm above it or anything....I just don't go to many places that offer it), I like to do a Bon Jovi number, usually "Livin' On A Prayer". works the crowd every time.

i've been known to do "New York, New York" - but you really have to have the right voice to pull it off.

"Daydream Believer" by the Monkees, and the Beatles' "Yellow Submarine" are good ones for the crowd.

never done karaoke myself.
but the classic karaoke song, and the best karaoke that i've ever seen was
--Aretha Franklin--
--RESPECT--

Wow, I haven't heard of any of those. Don't take this the wrong way Horus, but from what decade are those songs? <--- not meant in a bad way at all..I promise

Yikes Low_overhead! Those are classics!

1) I want to be a part of it, New York, New York! Da Da da da da...

2) And then I saw her face, and now I'm a believer... (Ever seen Shrek, they play the remake by Smash Mouth in it)

And if you haven't heard the Beatles Yellow Submarine *faints*

3) In the town, where I was born, lived a man who sailed to see.... WE ALL LIVE IN A YELLOW SUBMARINE, YELLOW SUBMARINE, YELLOW SUBMARINE...

and I'm only 18

Frank Sinatra's "New York, New York" I guess is from the 50's or 60's.

The other two songs are from the 60's...

I avoid kareoke like the plague.
Only done one solo song 'Light My Fire' when I was almost to drunk to stand never mind sing. Been dragged in on backing vocals a couple of times, last one being 'Slide Away' Oasis.
Basically, I've pretty much knackered up my vocal chords with too much smoking.

Ten years ago, I could knock out a good rendition of 'Stop' by Sam Brown and hit all the high notes, and got a good few laughs with a naff impression of Marilyn singing 'Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend'.

ok, #2 sounds familiar now...as for the other two...um..I led a sheltered life? Can I pass that off as a good excuse

I have only done karaoke twice before, and that took a lot of persuading! The first song I did was a Spice Girls one (this is going back a few years!) 'Two Become One' I think. The second one I did was Gina G - 'Ooh Ahh...Just A Little Bit'. That one went down well with the crowd!

KAROKE!!

J'adore karoke!! (Okay, so maybe I shouldn't mix Japanese with French...)

My first song that I sang Karoke to was "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" 'cause it's one of my favorite songs, and I still use it for every choir/musical audition.

However, I've taken a liking to all of the PGSM songs, especially, C'est La Vie (see the mixing of Japanese and French again??), the one that Usagi-chan is always singing karoke to in Crown Karoke.

*walking away singing to herself "C’est la vie
I am the reason in me
C’est la vie
You are the reason in you
I can’t see anything,
But because I want to see something I pursue!"*
