If you open the thread you must respond - Straight Dope Karaoke!

Funky Cold Medina, because it’s the only song I have any kareoke experience with.

Can I do it inebriated… again?

I choose Undone: The Sweater Song by Weezer. And yes I have done this one at karaoke before, with my husband. I do the harmony parts and hidden verse pretty well actually.

I always try to have one song prepared in case I ever find myself suddenly thrust upon a karaoke stage, which in all honesty has never happened. Well, I’ve done karaoke before, but all three times I enthusiastically signed myself up, so there was no thrusting involved.

Currently, it’s Brandy, by Looking Glass. I figure it’s not one that you hear every day, so I won’t ruin anyone’s day with a song that’s already been done to death. Like I Will Survive, for instance.

Don’t Go Breakin My Heart, on the hope that my female accompaniment/Kiki Dee would offset my musical crimes.

Who wants to sing Bohemian Rhapsody with me? (Queen would not do the song live because it was so complicted, but I figured if we’re liquored up enough we can take a crack at it.)

It’s raining men, hallelujah!
It’s raining men, amen!
I’m gonna go out, I’m gonna let myself get
Absolutely soaking wet!

Why?

Why not?

Also, you’d get to see my totally awesome dance moves.

[sub]I can’t dance. At all. But I flail about a lot. I oscillate wildly.[/sub]

I would like to try to do “I Feel For You” by Chaka Khan, but that’s… like… totally sacriledge. Nobody can touch Chaka Khan, I don’t care what anybody says. My family would be executed at the moment I said the name. However, I could offer to show off my totally awesome dance moves to that song.

[sub]I still can’t dance. Not even a little. But I shake a lot of booty. Mostly because I have a lot of booty, so it doesn’t have much choice but to shake.[/sub]

Count me in.

Going to have to go with a rock song. I thought about “Con Te Partiro” which I currently have playing by Andrea Bocelli, but something tells me that I don’t have the range. That something is my roommate.
How about “I Did It” by Dave Matthews Band.

-foxy

Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N’ Roses. Of course my voice is no where near as high pitched as Axel Rose’s so I’d have to do the basso rendition.

We used to have a girl who did that song every week (before they tore down the bar and ended my karaoke dreams). I distinctly remember the first time I looked at the screen and actually listened to the words–I was horrified … but in the good way. :slight_smile: My favorite part was always “I’s gonna be a lady someday.”

And I’m totally in on the Bohemian Rhapsody. We used to do that one a lot too, once we were good and sloshed.

♫ A long, long time ago ♫
♫ I could still remember when the music used to make me smile. ♫

“And When I Die” by Blood, Sweat & Tears

And when I die, and when I’m gone,
There’ll be one child born
In this world to carry on,
to carry on.

'Cause it’s both peppy *and * morbid! Bonus!

Does that have the country-western themed “U-N-C-O-U-P-L-E-D” on it?

I just opened the thread and clicked the reply button to say that I am NOT ‘responding’ to the OP.

So there!! :stuck_out_tongue:

Get me drunk enough, foxy, and I’ll join you in a duet!

What?!? You didn’t know “I Did It” could be a duet? You just haven’t been drinking enough! :wink:

This one goes out to all the fans of "Arrested Development’…

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
gonna grab some afternoon delight.
My motto’s always been; when it’s right, it’s right.
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night.

Yes and no–It has the medley, but the song is G-E-K-U-P-P-L-E-T.

snags chrisk by the shirt tail
Oh no you don’t!

Chrisk! Chrisk! Chrisk! Chrisk!

ShibbOleth, I’m yer girl.
Turn around…

Turn around…

Turn around, bright eyes.

Can we do a double feature and do Paradise by the Dashboard Light?

Anastasaeon- did you purposely quote that from the Smith’s song? When I read your post I was suddenly transported back in time about fifteen years when I was into The Smith’s and I taught myself **Oscillate Wildly ** on the piano. Excellent kick-ass song.

Sorry, end of hijack…
