I fell into a burning ring of fire
I went down down and the flames went higher
and it burns burns burns…
the ring of fire
the ring of fire

Unfortunately, if I’m drunk enough to start it, I’m probably not sober enough to finish it.

A few night ago I did Mack the Knife in front of around 200 people.

Thank Og for Rum-n-Coke.

I am a female with a really low singing voice so I like to do King of the Road.
hey if guys can be Queens girls can be Kings

I may have been born just plain white trash
But Fancy was my name!

Excuse me…I need to go lubricate my throat before I start Bohemian Rhapsondy…ahem ahem…

Is this real life
Is this just fantasy

As it turns out I’ve been meaning to put together a boyband out of Dopers. We’d have to grow goats…goatse…you know, those little beard thingies.

First song at Chez Dope: Short Skirt & Long Jacket, by Cake. The power, timbre and range of my voice makes any Cake song a perfect choice for me. I can do Joe Cocker, too, but it takes a LOT of rum in a pretty short period of time.

Or anything by Kevin Bloody Wilson.

Jackson Browne - Somebody’s Baby.

or maybe, Jesse’s Girl by Rick Springfield.

No wait–Drunken Sailor!!

Depending on the crowd I’ll either do Patience by G’n’R (I even do the whistling) or my usual standby of Gimme Three Steps by Skynyrd. Some great rhymes in that one: “Hey there fella with the hair color yella” kills me every time.

Speaking of Bohemian Rhapsody, I saw the Flaming Lips in Vegas a few weeks ago and they did a fantastic live version of the song. They also projected the words and demanded the audience sing along. It was fantastic.

Well, there’s only two songs I know all the words to, so, either

Angels, by Robbie Williams, or, if I can get someone to duet with me,

A Whole New World (that damn Aladdin song)

Yep, was listening to it when I made the post - it just seemed to fit.

Always a pleasure to meet another Smiths fan. :cool:

Zombies, Zombies, Zombies -es-es…

ahem

I’m saaiiiiillliiiinnng awaaaaaay,
set an open course for the virgin sea
I’ve got to be freeeeeeeeee,
free to face the life that’s ahead of me
On board, I’m the captain, so climb aboard
We’ll search for tomorrow on every shore
And I’ll try, oh Lord, I’ll try to carrrrrrrrrrry on

Thank you! Oh please, hold your applause! Wha - a standing ovation? This is too much…please…oh, thanks to whoever’s throwing roses on the stage…:smiley:

Ten cents a dance

Nice. Oh, and that should have been the Smiths in my earlier post, not the Smith’s. I’m usually a stickler for the misplaced apostrophe. Shame, shame, shame.

I dunno, the more I think about it the more I think that could be a really killer drunken duet.
Maybe we should plan a Giant International SDMB Karaokefest. With Intoxicants.

Cher’s version of “It’s In His Kiss”. That song brings out the silly in me… it’s fun , dammit ! :stuck_out_tongue:

(Big drink of scotch to get primed…)

Welllllllll, I just got into town about an hour ago.
Took a look around see which way the wind blow

(More priming required throughout…)

whazzanmatta AFG, you can’t start that song without finishing it all the way through? like Cartman?

Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality

C’mon, everyone! You know the words!

All I wanna DO is have some FUN,
I got a FEElin’ I’m not the ONly one…

Crazy, Patsy Cline. Come on y’all, sway with me!
