...do you do it?

And if so, do you have any certain favorites that you get up there and sing?

Ask Rice Cube about his rendition of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun." :o

I only do karaoke if I'm EXTREMELY drunk. Like to the point that I have to hold on to walls and stuff. Apparently my swan song is "Suavecito" by Malo.

^
Put it on youtube! I'd love to watch you...suavecito,mi linda :D

I used to do karaoke with a friend of mine all the time,we had this great number singing "Je t'aime... moi non plus" and act like lesbians lovers,she could really sing and i was good at rubbing myself on her,such good memories!

I haven't done it.

Although I have sung along to CDs(Don't know if that counts).

Hey, Al.....

If it hasn't been made apparent to you, I am a Karaoke runner, or "KJ".
So, yeah, I do it a little....

My band covers this song!
We have a soundclip of about a minute of it, on the website.

As for me, there are so many songs I know, it's hard to pick just certain ones.
-Of course, there are those songs I get requested to do.
Examples: Turning Japanese, Night Moves, Sister Christian, Love Will Find A Way (Pablo Cruise), Still the One (Orleans), etc.

Generally, I like anything '80s, Peter Frampton, the Who, and Gary Wright.

Put THAT on Youtube instead :o

Yes, I have done it before. I don't really have a favorite song to sing...whatever comes to mind usually.

As I am Hawks wife, of course I do karaoke. I have about 50 songs that I do. I am not sure which is my favoret. Probably BI**h.

My two faves:

Surrender ~ Cheap Trick

Chocolate Salty Balls ~ Chef (South Park)

(Second one brings the house down!)

...do you do it?
You have to plug it in first?

I've only done it once and I sang The Tide Is High.  I might be persuaded to do it again sometime.

Yes, I've done karaoke...many times...and I always get lots of nice compliments!  :D

Favorites:

Carpenters songs, especially...

Yesterday Once More
Superstar
Top Of The World

(I did record myself singing YOM and 'We've Only Just Begun' at home - turned out pretty well!  :))

I also love to sing Roberta Flack songs...

And my 'signature' song...the one that's often requested when I go to karaoke clubs...is 'Nobody Does It Better' by Carly Simon... :D

I have only tried to sing once on a Karaoke machine and on that day the songs were set on random and I was to sing the next song. The song that came up for me was "Let It Be", knowing that song very well made life easy for me.

Hmm ... interesting.  I never thought about doing a karaoke effort ... then uploading to 'youtube'. Might get around to it .... like so many other things ....

Procrastination ? My middle name ....

Guess I'd probably do Roy Orbison's 'Crying' ... since that's usually the one I pick to try to impress ...

Broken Wings ? I've done it a few times ... but not quite sure if I get away with it ...  :-[ :-\\

Speaking as a KJ, for me- it's not about how you sound, or how many drinks you've had, or if you have to have a partner to sing with.

It's all about having fun, and not getting up just to curse into the microphone.

If everyone's enjoying themselves, and doing what I term as "stupid stuff"- such as using their selection to put down other patrons, then we're jake.

Since last seeing this thread on Karaoke, I have now partaken in Karaoke full time. From the range of songs I choose to sing, I found the slow songs the better for me. Songs that were sung by Matt Monro and The Beatles did me fine.

I always do, and will be the first if no on e else will.

I like to do ...

Goodbye to You- Scandal
Harden My heart- Quarterflash
Barracuda- Heart
To Sir With Love- Lulu
Hit Me With your Best Shot- Pat Benatar


I can't wait till we're all together and we have our karaoke party!

During the two seesions of Karaoke I have sung in, I performed (sitting down of course) Bohemian Rhapsody with air guitar, piano and gong.

YOU doing karaoke ?? < picks self up off floor.

I just can't visualise that.  You'd be about the last person on this site I'd think of who would potentially humiliate themselves in that way.

You live and learn ..... so they say.

I always do, and will be the first if no on e else will.

Ooooh...I'd love to hear you sing!

Especiallly "Goodbye To You," that's one of my favorite ballsy chick rock anthems.  ;)

I am going to sub for a friend that hosts a 'live acoustic karaoke"

i'll be playing suunday night.

...possible Karaoke tonight!
...other things were planned for the night, so there was no Karaoke for me.

Anyone who is in my area can pop into my Friday/Saturday night sessions.

I am happy to say "Hullama!"

Hullama-loo to you, too, Mr. Hawk !

BTW .... of your 'Top 10 (above) .... I know maybe half. (10, 9, 7, and 2). I wonder if you know the original (and better, IMHO) version of 'Do you wanna touch' by the now infamous  Gary Glitter ?

Considering my understanding of Mr. Glitter's situation, perhaps that song is both appropriate and inappropriate at the same time.

You have heard that GG is in hospital with a heart condition?

No, I wasn't in on that.

My main knowledge of Gary Glitter is that he was considered something of a sex symbol, at one time.
Being a heavier man, that tells me I have something to strive for.
Something realistic.
