ivylass, I hate to break this to you, but I think they’re only cheering because they can see through your blouse. 
So does that mean you want me to keep singing, or should I start taking requests?
Obviously I’m a little tipsy, otherwise the second “hear” would be the correct “here.”
Perhaps not the verses, but at least the chorus to “The Gambler.”
My wife discovered that everyone in any karaoke place will sing along to Alanis’s “Ironic.”
I think as long as the spotlight stays on, you’ll be just fine. 
(Sorry, couldn’t resist the “Friends” reference. Every time I hear “Delta Dawn” I think of “The One Where Monica Sings.”)
Well, fine then.
steps down from the bar and sulks until someone hits *Pour Some Sugar on Me * or *Devil Went Down to Georgia * on the juke box.
Hey, we got the damn music planted in a park! (The town that turned Woody into a Communist). It’s illuminated in red, white and blue at night.
I’ve edited your post, denquixote, to remove the excess lyrics. Please remember to not post full lyrics of copyrighted songs. Instead, just use the first few lines or stanza of the song and link to the rest.
Isn’t everybody supposed to know the words to these songs, anyway?
Want me to PhotoShop a few stanzas out of the pic I posted? Wouldn’t want to run afoul of any copyrights or anything.

Nope, totally naked and loving it. I’m out there Jerry!

Everyone should sing “Friends in Low Places.” And also “Summer of '69.”
“Lean on Me” is great for when everyone is just punchy or buzzed enough to get sentimental.
The story:
Way back, <mumble> years ago, I participated in a high school all-star marching band. There were about 530 of us, mostly strangers, crammed together in a dorm to learn reams of music and drills in four days. We marched and played all day and far into each sweltering Louisiana night.
I didn’t start it, but I was close enough to see it start. On the last night, a guy I knew vaguely was so worn out that two of his buddies were actually supporting him as we all headed back to the dorms. One of them started singing, “Sometimes in our lives…” The other finished the line. A few others (including me) chimed in on the second line. By the end of the verse, there were over 500 exhausted, grinning kids staggering along with their arms draped over each other’s shoulders, singing “Lean on Me”.
It was, in a strange sort of way, glorious.
Ummm…yeah. :o
Bye bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levy
but the levy was dry
Them good ole boys are drinking whiskey and rye
Singing this’ll be the day that I die…
Mother, who has raised her son so well
So well, so well, so well
I think people will start strong with that song, but tail off - the thing is eight and a half minutes long! :eek:
Well, nobody ever really sings the whole thing, you just wait for the chorus and then belt it out safe behind the confines of your windshield…
Blouse? What blouse? If she’s up on the bar singing Delta Dawn and doing tequila shots, she has parted ways with her blouse already.
Also, by way of a nomination:
“Brandy, you’re a fine girl,
what a good wife you would be…”
and/or
“Take a letter, Maria,
address it to my wife…”
“I heard it through the grapevine”
“Take the last train to Clarksville”
I mean, I don’t know that I’ve ever actually heard everyone singing along to these songs, but they should.
