What song(s) can you karaoke with great skill?......

[Wetzelbill]

I do a pretty solid version of the Skynyrd classic "Tuesday's Gone." I am pretty good at the Third Eye Blind 90's hit: "Semi-Charmed Life" as I am quite tone deaf, much like their lead singer.

However, I think the song in that I karaoke the best (which isn't all that good, trust me) is "Cumbersome" by Seven Mary Three. I'm not that bad at it.

[ForrestGump]

1. Never done actual karaoke, but

I'm recording a bunch of Elvis songs with karaoke-type backing tracks.

Also can handle some Johnny Cash, Tom Jones, Jim Morrison (but not the screams...not yet, anyway, 'cos they don't seem to come naturally to me), Roy Orbison (though some of his highs are a stretch for my natural range and I can't do the "rowwwwr" in "Pretty Woman," dammit), and a few others.

[Wetzelbill]

2. I make an attempt at "Pretty Woman" too, just not my thing

can't quite sing it. Not sure why. Oh yeah, I can't sing that's why. :)

[ForrestGump]

6. Roy Orbison had a fairly good voice

(understatement of the year)


But it's always worth a try or two. :-)

[mitchum]

10. FG, I thought that you had lost your mind until I read the text box

:)

What a fantastic voice

[Dangerously Amused]

3. Let 'ol DA here help you out with those high notes and screams, son.

:7

[ForrestGump]

4. Get a grip, woman!

No...I mean it. ;-)

:loveya:

[Dangerously Amused]

8. I don't know WHAT you're talking about.

But it's supper time in this time zone, and I'm hungry, so if you'll excuse me...

[ForrestGump]

11. That's not a hot dog...

this is a hot dog!




Want some?

[Dangerously Amused]

17. No, THAT is a little blue square with a question mark in it.

:-(

[ForrestGump]

19. Not very nutritious...actually, it's my secret sauce

This better?

[Dangerously Amused]

23. Oh yes darling, yes. That is a MUCH better little blue square

...with a question mark. I don't know HOW you do it!

:loveya:


By the way, I know all about your "secret sauce." Lou spilled the beans after dinner. Lucky you have that golden fleece covering your (mighty fine) butt, that's all I'm gonna say about it.

[ForrestGump]

25. I'm special

As you well know...and I have the video evidence to prove it, of you and your little 'friends.' So watch your step, Missy. :P

My secret sauce is your secret sauce.... :loveya:












Hey! Look what finally popped up!

Toldja I was bigger than 5'9". taller, too. :D

[Dangerously Amused]

26. Oh, THAT'S not a hot dog...

THIS is a hot dog...




Now that's what I'm talkin' about. A girl wants a hot dog she can RIDE, baby!

And I'm talkin' a boatload of secret sauce. Whaddya think, Gump? You up to it?


:7

[ForrestGump]

27. *gulp*

Act casual...but move briskly...out past the curtains of the Lounge. I'll meet you there in three seconds.... ;-)

Hurry, now. Like, now....

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. The song I was known for in one bar

was "Can't Help Falling In Love." One night I took a shot at "Blue Moon" (the Marcels' version) and when I got to the high note ("...the moon had turned to gold") my voice broke. All I could do was laugh.

Did "Mack the Knife" one night. That one's fun because you can go all lounge-lizard with it, with the "heys" and the "yeahs."

[Initech]

7. I'm known to do a kick-ass Jimmy Buffet

Especially the songs "Margaritaville" and "Why Dont We Get Drunk And Screw".

[mitchum]

9. "Wipe Out"

[jane_pippin]

12. None, but that doesn't stop me.

I think the most recent attempt involved lots of whiskey shots and a Guns N Roses song. (They tend to go hand in hand, eh?)
I've also done "Beast of Burden" and provided backup to my friend's rendition of "Black Dog."


Again, with no skill whatsoever, but with lots of drunken jumping around like a rock star. I'm sure I annoyed the ever loving shit out of everyone there. :D

[CatBoreal]

13. Where the Streets Have No Name...

...for some reason, I can really belt out U2.

[medeak]

14. the monster mash

actually it's my husband...but I do back up.

once a year at halloween

[datasuspect]

15. l.a. woman

and wanted dead or alive

[tinfoilinfor2005]

16. My daughter and her friend used to do an asskicking version of

Meatloaf's, Paradise By the Dashboard Light, and they won several karaoke contests with it, trophy and all. When my daughter got married, her friends insisted that she and her singing partner (not the groom) perform it for the guests. Of course she had on this gorgeous wedding gown, and he wore a tux, and that fit right into the lyrics of the song. It was a riot and brought down the house.

[Whoa_Nelly]

18. Tracy Chapman/Gimme One Reason

And always gotta sing it with my shades on...makes me so cooool :rofl:

[Faygo Kid]

20. Witchcraft: Those fingers in my hair, that sly come hither stare

that strips my conscious bare, it's Witchcraft. From Sinatra's greatest years, and I have the inflections down pat. Doobie doobie doo.

[BuelahWitch]

21. "Fire" by the Pointer Sisters

Also "Sooner or Later" that Madonna did in Dick Tracey...

[u4ic]

22. This one:

[swag]

24. "Break on Through" by the Doors

for one.

[lady raven]

28. Proud Mary and Don't it Make my brown eyes blue

are the ones htat have gotten me the most good comments.

[Kire]

29. I have to be in the mood, but...

...I did "Never Tear Us Apart" by INXS one night, and I still hear about it years later.

[rqstnnlitnmnt]

30. well, tonight i did "Shoop" and "Hold On"

TLC and Wilson Phillips. at a holiday staff party for my school.

granted, we were particularly f'ed up off an open bar -- it was quite spectacular.

[PittPoliSci]

31. Five Year Winter by Zao

Personal experience helped me hate certain people enough to scream like that about them.

Memorable lyric:

"this time i put them in the ground, with my memories and my feelings"

or perhaps:

"i wish you'd say you hate me, that would make things so much easier."

[Beware the Beast Man]

32. "Too Drunk to Fuck."

But that pales in comparison to RandomKoolZip's shirtless rendition of "Ace of Spades."
