So, I'm off to a club night on Friday (which may or may not warrant resurrectin 'You make me feel like dancing'), which I don't normally bother with, grumpy old fogey that I am.
Anyhoo.
They have a rock karaoke there, apparently. I know what I'd pick: 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out' by the Smiths.
What about yourselves?

Just promise you won't try to imitate Moz.

I'd probably go with either Solsbury Hill or Humdrum by Peter Gabriel.

I don't know if anyone saw Nevermind The Buzzcocks on Sunday - it had Tony Christie impersonating Morrisey. It was pretty funny.
Actually, on this song he doesn't go overboard on the Mozness, so it'd be OK I think. There's a big Morissey obsession in our office. You can imagine the joy when we discovered we were changing our email programme to Mozilla.

i'd try and tackle something by they might be giants, as i feel that john linnell's vocal range is right around mine. perhaps "birdhouse in your soul"

One of my fave Nirvana moments: them playing this song on Jonathon Ross instead of Lithium, then wrecking the stage. All in front of a crowd which appears to be more into hearing Barry Manilow.
Ross: "Nirvana there playing the tune that we didn't actually expect...."
Uh, back to Karaoke!!! Do it Lost In Translation styleeee. |

My wife and I do karaoke sometimes. I excel at "Clever Trevor" by Ian Dury.
I've downloaded a fairly massive karaoke collection over that past couple years. I play them through a Winamp CDG plug-in.
The Pixies' "Where Is My Mind?" was just released by SunFly. I haven't even had a chance to listen to it, but SunFly is usually pretty good.

my secret forum crush if you won't let me see your

There's nothing wrong with admitting you like someone here you know. I have in the past. It's harmless. |

Fair enough. Just plain lying then?
A friend used to sing The End by The Doors in his local boozer. It was a proper 'local' pub, full of old men and chavs. Not sure how the hell he made it out alive. |

interesting mix.
Ive only ever done karaoke once. I was about 13/14, and at Gay pride in brighton, and was more than a little drunk, Some one signed me and this guy richie up to do '99 red balloons'. We changed it to 99 lesbians...which was quite funny, but being so drunk i kept saying 'red lesbiens', whoch didnt go down quite as well.
Whats made it worse was the fact that Richie isa professional singer, and i can barely sing a note, esp when drunk!

I think if i were to do it again, id do Beautiful by Carole King...not very rock and roll tho. I guess id do Teenage Kicks - The Undertones or maybe Common People - Pulp.

LOL. There's this band that does Karaoke.... so you can sing along with a band. It's pretty cool... haven't done it though.
I did Borderline by Madonna once and another stupid song I can't remember. My friend choose it cuz it was sappy and there was a cheezy 70's guy walking a sheepdog in it. Oh yea it is coming back... it was James Taylor's You've got a friend... a personal low point in my life. |

I've done a few things at karaoke.. let's see:
Chantilly Lace - Big Bopper
Money for Nothing - Dire Straits
Whip It - Devo
Istanbul - TMBG
Soul Man - Blues Bro's (with a buddy of mine)
That'll Be The Day - Buddy Holly
Wish there was a karaoke version of Bullet.. I'd rock that.

Dunno about now, they were quite big during the whole Britpop era...I love them cos they remind me of my childhood, and while everyone else was arguing ovcer oasis and blur, i wasnt huge on either, but really likeed pulp...
Common people is one of my favourite songs...but prob due to association than anything else. check it out anyways.

Mel, you should check out the William Shatner cover, that is just awesome.
I could probably get away with a Cash song as well, specially if this cold holds up...

Yeah Shatner is better than Pulp.
Karaoke is meant to be sung badly. Then it's funny. If they are good then it just seems like they are showing off and people lose interest. |

Bumble needs to be in this thread, he used to text me while at rock karaoke. I believe he once sung white wedding, which would have been a sight to see!

I've never done karaoke. I'd kind of like to someday, but I know how horrible my singing is.
It would be cool to do a TMBG song, but I would never choose "Istanbul."
