Sang I’m Too Sexy with my mate on Chinese New Year with and Elvis impersonator (to a sold out audience).

Cleared out a pub destroying Enjoy The Silence with a different mate years and years ago.

Jackie Wilson ‘Reet Petite’ for me every time. Or Band Aid on my own.

We also tried Brass Monkey. It seemed like a good idea at the time, but once we got up there, it fell apart quickly!

I tend to do Sound & Vision or Common People - my friends tend to enjoy it :grinning:

I’ve ended up at a karaoke bar after our last two work Christmas parties. The first year I sang Mr Blue Sky by ELO; the second year I sang Gangsta’s Paradise by Coolio. Which another DiSer described as the whitest thing he’d ever heard of. Fuck him, I nailed it.

Common People would be fun. It’s a looong song, and builds nicely. Perfect for drunken howling!

#12

Haha yeah, the length was a bit of an issue obviously it’s quite wordy. But the crowd were on my side so it went down a storm!

Did a duet of Jeff Buckley’s Grace (not the whole record) at a pub in my first year of Uni in a tiny village outside of Hull. After we’d finished the DJ said to ‘do something we know’ next time. I called him a dickhead for having it down as a choice in the first place.

Obviously we completely butchered the song.

Mary J Blige’s own performances of No More Drama are second only to my own

i’m sure, it being a perfect performance, that you also pay homage to her moves in kneehigh boots?

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus is undisputadly the best karaoke tune, always goes down a storm.

I’m the kind of person that doesn’t really like karoake but seems to end up doing it once a month. My mate swears by starting with Springsteen - Dancing in The Dark. Usually always goes down as a banger.

Billy Joel - piano man. Nail it every time.

Quinn’s Irish Bar does karaoke. It’s a bit of a trek from the usual Fenino pub route, mind

Lived in Vietnam for a decade so it was a regular thing. Avoided it whilst sober, embraced it all too vigorously when drunk. Usually went for Sinatra or Elvis as they have a relatively narrow octave range, so no high or low notes to struggle with. If suitably pissed I used to really lay it on for “Suspicious Minds”.
