which song would you want to karaoke perfectly?

[cactus waltz]

Imagine this: You're in a karaoke bar with everybody that you might want to impress and everybody's attention is on you, 'cause you're up next. Somehow, you get to choose to perform one song perfectly in any kind of way. Which song would you choose and why?

Note: the song will be performed in your voice, only that your voice is magically enhanced so that it perfectly encapsules the atmosphere and technicalities of the song.


Me, I'd choose Otis Redding's I love you more than words can say.

[Turek]

Tequila.

[Andrew Bug]

I have 3 hypothetical karaoke songs I know I could do spot on if I only had the cajones to get up there.

The Clash-Should I Stay or Should I go
Them-Gloria
Iggy Pop-Lust For Life

[Cerowyn]

"Wonderful Tonight", Eric Clapton. Then maybe I could finally get on stage and stop getting bugged every single time I go out.

[BlackHeart]

Stoney End by Laura Nyro. I have tried, oh my lord, how i tried.

[Antinor01]

One that I do close to perfect is Journey's, Open Arms. If anything I'd like that magic enhancement to make the high notes a little stronger for me.

[silenus]

Recitar/Vesti la guibba from Pagliacci.

[pinkfreud]

I can envision myself doing a kickass version of Cry Me a River or Fever. In my dreams, I am Julie London and Peggy Lee rolled into one red-hot package. In reality, I am a schlumpy senior citizen whose main singing is done to entertain my dogs.

[Gangster Octopus]

My Way by...The Sex Pistols.

That was Syd solo, baby. And I can do that one spot on.

[feppytweed]

Mr. Jones- Counting Crows

[Eve]

Rockabye Your Baby With a Dixie Melody, belting like the offspring of Al Jolson and Judy Garland.

[Talon Karrde]

It would probably have to be a David Bowie song for me. Maybe Starman. Or maybe Cuts You Up by Peter Murphy.

[roger thornhill]

Mack the Knife, a la Sinatra, rather than Cole or Darin. Or certainly Westlife.

[TLDRIDKJKLOLFTW]

Erasure's "A little respect."

[brianjedi]

"Down in a Hole." Or maybe "Rooster."

[RancidYakButterTeaParty]

You're the One that I Want Hitting both John and Olivia's parts right on would be something.

[don't ask]

Crazy
The Heart of Saturday Night
Stairway To Heaven

[blueserge]

"The Man That Got Away" -- Judy Garland

There are others, but that's at the top of the list.

[Little Bird]

Me and Bobby McGee. I'm ok at it, but I wish I could rock it.

[Marley23]

"Oh! Darling," by the Beatles. It's not my favorite song in the world, but it's dead wrong for my voice and I wish I could hack it.
