Texsox Posted July 30, 2006 Share Posted July 30, 2006 I have zero musical ability, can't carry a tune with a handle. I am going to have to sing one karoake song soon and am trying to pick something that is short, and easy to sing. Of course it should also be very popular so I can be assured it will be on their list. I am thinking of making this a comedy thing and singing a parody version of something.

Chisoxfn Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Oh man that would be golden. I can't sing to save my life so I think I'd choose I'm a little teapot because it would get a ton of laughs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a nutshell, my chances are Dream: Tom Cruise like performance from Top Gun Reality: Rosanne Barr singing the National Anthem I was also thinking Ghost riders in the Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Only way I have enough balls to sing karaoke is if FUBAR on Jack or Captain. Barring that there's no way you'll get me near the stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobDylan Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 (edited) Just act like Shatner does when he covers a song. (Or sing Ooh La La by The Faces) Edited July 31, 2006 by BobDylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBAHO Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 Hey Jude. We had a work function 3 weeks back when my boss departed. We ended eating dinner at a Vietnamese Restaraunt. And Karoake is absolutely HUGE in Vietnam. So needless to say, there was a Karaoke Stage, and we all belted out a few tunes. Unfortunately all the music was from the 60's and 70's, so there were only songs like New York, New York and some Bob Marley song that went for about 8 minutes.

mreye Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 You could always pick a song that the crowd will sing for you like Sweet Caroline or Piano Man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted July 31, 2006 Share Posted July 31, 2006 "house of the rising sun" is good, it's slow, short, and you can get away with not singing very much if you want to be bold try "Brandy" by the Looking Glass, always a huge hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
