Hallowed be thy Name….duh

also, stones, killers, beatles, kinks, Bowie is kind of personal for me.

Rappers Delight is even longer than Bohemian Rhapsody. Paranoid Andorid is absurdly long. Is anyone else completely bored with Hotel California?

The *ahem” best karaoke songs Rolling Stone provides are in fact merely the most popular. We always seem to confuse what’s popular and what is great.

The following songs should be dead and buried.

1. Picture
2. Paradise by the Dashboard Light
3. Sweet Caroline
4. Before He Cheats
5. Redneck Woman
6. Here for the Party

Now if you have the ability to crank out some Phil Collins, Heart, or Fleetwood Mac you will have the audience on your side. Moving songs are really the most entertaining.
Some people like to hear what they haven’t before in awhile. A lot of people (from small towns mostly) go to karaoke and think nothing of hearing the same 50 songs done over and over as a sort of ritual.

Rush-YYZ
Get it?

This list is great but I’m
looking for another “CROWD JOINING IN SONG ” like “SWEET CAROLINE” bah, bah, bah.
Suggestions please.

Stairway to heaven - led zepplin if you can sing this song on stage and do it wrll, youll be the talk of the night, trust me!

I like to do Blue by LeAnn Rimes. I’m pretty good at it though. It depends on how I’m feeling too - if I feel like people think I’m showing off I won’t do it.

Walkin in Memphis by Mark Cohn. I’ve done it in a house full of young people that prefer rap and hip-hop and they went nuts.

Songs i like to sing

SecretAgentMan Johnny Rivers

Oh Boy! Buddy Holly

Steppin’Stone Monkees

Is the the way to Amarillo Tony Christie

Champagne Supernova Oasis

i fail to see how these are the best Karaoke songs, yes the majority oar classics… but in my book what makes a great karaoke song is the combination of difficulty as well as fan appreciation…

i always get impressed by those who can to the really fast paced songs or the songs with a huge disparity with high notes and low notes…

my personal favorites that can i “NAIL” (thx Teri Chicken and Beef Stew)
Sold - John Michael Montgomery
Black - Pearl Jam
The Proclaimers - I’m Gonna Be (1,000 miles)
Roxanne - Police
anything by Three Days Grace, Nickelback and Puddle of Mud.
not to mention the occasional Neil Diamond…

Oh yeah….. if you want to be the MAN that the ladies want to take home… I heavily heavily suggest “Most Beautiful Girl” by Flight of the Cochords.

Badfish by Sublime. Get’s the ladies dancing, it’s the easiest song ever and it’s short!

However, if you want short easy and more energizing… any Ramone’s song will do and “I wanna be sedated” is the song that is perhaps the most fun. Ba ba ba ba b-ba ba ba ba… I wanna be sedated!!!

Gregg- there is a karaoke bar in Brussels one block away from the Radisson SAS hotel (near La Grand Place), there is guy there who sings unchain my heart even better than joe cocker… cheers to you and to joe cocker..

Buster Poindexter - Hot Hot Hot!!

Here are three that I have not seen elsewhere:

“Unchain My Heart” by Joe Cocker
“Move It On Over” by George Thorogood and the Destroyers
“Pink Cadillac” by Bruce Springsteen

I love to go to bars and do karaoke. I don’t seem like I would be able to sing so when I get up and NAIL Jack and Dianne people start paying attention.
I love to follow that up with a little Mambo #5 to get the girls dancing, then I’ll do Heaven by Los Lonely Boys. Depending on the crowd and the mood I might do a little Walking in Memphis or The Way You Do the Things You Do by UB-40. If it’s an older crowd I might do Light My Fire and if it’s a counrty crowd I might do Thunder Rolls. I just recently found a place that has Crazy by Seal. I will admit I kinda messed that one up but, give me some time and I’ll NAIL that one too. Crazy Bitch usually gets any crowd going too….Smooth by Rob Thomas is a good get up and dance song. I’ll also sing She’s Like the Wind by Patrick Swayze but one of my favorites is I’ll Be by Edwin McCaine. I also like to sing Cherry Bomb by John Mellencamp. Bob Marely’s Stir it up is always a crowd pleaser or No Woman No Cry….
All I can say is people that get up and sing, no matter how bad you sound, unless like one person said before, unless your just piss ass drunk and slurring, I give you all credit because it’s not an easy task getting up in front of strangers and singing.
Props to all karaoke singers.

zz-top Sharp dressed Man
Bon Jovi Dead or Alive
That country song about the beagle Red

I gotta say the fruits always work it for me-

George Michael- Faith, Freedom ‘90, Everything She Wants

Prince- Darling Nikki, Lil red corvette, kiss

and of course the Jewish Elvis-
Neil Diamond- Cracklin’ Rose, Coming to America

Some other aces in the hole-
Supertramp- The Logical Song
The Darkness- I believe in a thing called love

“It’s Oh so Quiet”- Bjork is the most fun Karaoke song to do, do not attempt it if you aren’t willing to commit to it. Know your audience as well, if it isn’t a lively place people wonder why you are screaming indoors.

at a medium pace - adam sandler

Du Hast!
My Way- sex pistols version…

I sing karaoke every Thursday night at a local bar. I’m a girl but I sing just about anything. I’m pretty good and I get requests for a few songs in particular. They are:

Edge of Seventeen and Gold Dust Woman - Stevie Nicks (these are songs that the KJ always wants me to do)
I’m The Only One and If I Wanted To - Melissa Etheridge
Give Me One Reason - Tracy Chapman
Human Touch, Tunnel Of Love, Glory Days, Born To Run - Springsteen
American Girl and Even The Losers - Tom Petty
Anything by Bonnie Raitt
I also do a lot of old soul and blues which the crowd really likes, stuff like Mustang Sally, Dancing In The Street, etc.
And then there’s always classic rock, The Beatles, The Stones, Led Zeppelin, The Eagles, etc.
I try to stay away from what I call ‘over-done’ songs. I try to pick things that I’ve never heard anyone else do. And the crowd likes that too.

I need a Hero - Bonnie Tyler
and Zoot Suit Riot - cherry poppin’ daddies always gets the crowd involved

3 Doors Down - Here Without You….seems to be song that goes over very well with the crowd for me. Most of the Stones stuff too is always a crowd pleaser.

Stevie Wonder is the best he sing so go.

This is a good list - I hadn’t thought about some of these before. I did notice a complete lack of Dolly - 9to5 always is a hit. Also, for the ambitious, We Built this City. For a group of ladies, Respect or I Will Survive are always good choices!

Just about anything by Dr. Hook
Freakin at the freakers ball - classic fun
Cover of the Rolling Stone

you can leave your hat on!!!! (need some sort of joe cocker voice, though)

I just did my “first” song… it was:
James Otto - “Just got started lovin’ you” The women loved it! I guess I sang it ok…. it’s harder than it looks!

The first song I ever sang was “criminal” by Fiona Apple. After I realized how boring I was(I have no talent) I switched music. Now I sing the Following:

1) camel toe by Fannypack(always gets a laugh
2) Rehab by Amy whinehouse
3) one week by barenaked ladies
I find that the more fun you are to watch, the less it matters if you suck!

My first nite at karaoke i did Springsteen’s Glory Days. The crowd LOVED it!

My first time into a Karaoke bar the KJ handed me a microphone and pushed me on stage. I thought it was the custom or something when entering a karaoke bar so I just went along with it. Next thing I know I was singing Frosty the Snowman… in October.

I like…
Margaritaville - Jimmy Buffet
Easy - Lionel Richie
New York - Frank Sinatra
Let Her Cry - Hootie & the Blowfish
Tiny Dancer - Elton John
Cemetery Gates - Pantera
Fuel - Metallica
Anything by Bowie or Kermit the Frog

tenacious d

“Mr. Brightside” by The Killers!!!
;-)

Anyone tryin to sing bohemian rhapsody needs to look at themselves thoroughly. wenever it starts up every groans coz its gonna be another 15 minutes till we hear summat else. short stuffs heaps better. ultimate karaoke was:
me an r kid doin daydream believer on is 18th at the pub

Thomas Dolby - She Blinded Me With Science
Ike & Tina Turner - Proud Mary
War - Low Rider

We’re here for a good time!
by Trooper is a great beer-drinking song.

I have never went wrong with…
JET: “Do You Want To Be My Girl”

C.Carter. “Strok’N”. Come on!

vogue - madonna
motown philly - boyz 2 men

and if you’re really ballsy, go for “if i were a rich man” from Fiddler on the Roof.

girls love guys who know their showtunes…

Ladies, please don’t sing Evanescence, Alanis Morrisette, Sarah McLaughlin, Jewel, Dido, or any other boring girly crap. It’s mind-numbing, no one will pay attention and it won’t even be fun for you.

Pick something interesting, upbeat. Try to have some fun…

4 Non Blonds- What’s Going On
Gretchen Wilson- All Jacked Up
Alanah Miles- Black Velvet
Carrie Underwood-Before He Cheat
Letters To Cleo- Cruel To Be Kind
Janis Joplin- Bobby McGee

I personally think Love Shack, Bohemian Rhapsody, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and anything from Grease should forever be banned from karaoke. They are butchered 9 times in 10.

A few good ones that haven’t been mentioned (depending on your voice):

Dave Matthews Band - Ants Marching
Stone Temple Pilots - Plush
Evanescence - Bring me to Life
Cab Calloway - Minnie the Moocher
Green Day - Holiday

mmm bop.
duh.

I work at a bar as security in Shreveport, Louisiana and I have a hilarious karaoke story. Year before last around Christmas we were all at the bar on karaoke night and there was probably a hand full of folks there. As I was walking out Andy Dick and his 2 assistants walked in. I had to turn around and walk back in. By the time I got back in, he was on the mic and started wailing to “Life in the Fast Lane” by the Eagles. He was adlibbing the crap out of the song and for some ODD reason NO ONE had a cell phone with a camera on them! Anyways, we ended up throwing him out for grabbing dude’s crotches and stuff.

I think that recognizability is essential in karaoke songs. You measure a singer on three things: talent, song choice, and presentation. You only need two of the three to be a karaoke all-star.

“Runaround” Blues Traveler
“Harder to Breath” Maroon 5
“Hard to Handle” The Black Crowes
“Mr. Jones” Counting Crows
“What’s Going On” Four Non-Blondes
“Living on a Prayer” Bon Jovi

islands in the stream
i love rock and roll
the gambler
don’t stop believin’
talk dirty to me
i want you to want me
born to be wild

Either “Simply Irresistable” or “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer always gets the crowd going for me.

Here’s some goodies:
“Do You Love Me” by The Contours (featured in Dirty Dancing),
“Twist & Shout” by The Beatles
“The Shoop Shoop Song” by Cher
“All Night Long” by Lionel Richie
“Like The Way I do” by Melissa Etheridge
“Free Falling” by Tom Petty
“Signed Sealed Delivered” by Stevie Wonder
“Living For The City” by Stevie Wonder
“Superstition” by Stevie Wonder
“The Weight” by The Band
“Movin On Up” by The M People
“Oh Happy Day” from Sister Act 2
“Oh What A Night” by The Four Seasons
“Horses” by Daryl Braithwaite
“Piece Of My Heart” by Janis Joplin
“Push” by Matchbox 20
“Simply The Best” by Tina Turner
“Someday Someday” by Thirsty Merc
“To Be With You” by Mr Big
;)

I find “Man In The Mirror” by Michael Jackson goes down well with the crowd

queen - “don’t stop me now” is by far my all-time favorite.

the beatles - “hey jude” is fun too.

These aren’t the most popular ones but if you like singing give them a try, they’re super fun:

Bowie - Life on Mars, Ziggy Stardust, Modern Love, Fashion — all soooo fun

Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody

Abba - Fernando, Thank You for The Music

Tiffany - I Think We’re Alone Now

Janis Joplin - Bobby Mcgee

MC Hammer - 2 Legit 2 Quit

All songs everyone knows but forgets about until you sing them and blow their minds.

okay come on people……..”Kiss me Deadly” by Lita Ford is definitely in my top 5….along with “Nasty girl” by Vanity 6 (ala Prince)…..always crowd pleasers

I actually nailed Piece of My Heart by Janis. Maybe its cause i’m a smoker. anyways, more of my notables include:

Bennie and the Jets - Elton John
Lovin Touchin Squeezin - Journey
Ballroom Blitz - Sweet

I am Karaoke Queen!

“Ma-na ma-na”
Sesame Street

so easy a kid could do it

Well, Just have fun! No Stevie Wonder, Queen, Journey, or Billy joel unless you really have a voice though! Spare us please, and that goes for slow stuff too! Actually Try “centerfield”

im to sexc-if u wanna have heaps of fun and take it to extremes
smooth-rob thomas n santana

my all time favourite wld have to b Grease lighting and oh ah just a little bit love em spesh if ya wiv a big group and piss as doin lil dances lol

Imagine - John Lennon

I am a girl and I pulled off Bohemian Rhapsody well enough to have a bunch of lovely men come up to me with compliments…or was it the bikini I was wearing, heh, jus’ kidding.

I’m a karaoke regular and here are my biggest pet peeves:
-Bohemian Rhapsody (no matter what circumstances, it does NOT sound good)
- Picture (sheryl crow and kidrock)
- “group” karaoke. It sounds like nothing but chaos amplified by a couple of microphones. It’s irritating for anyone who isn’t up there with you.
- any rap if you aren’t absolutely fucking positive you can keep up
- any song longer than five minutes is no fun at karaoke

Karaoke isn’t funny when someone is wasted and slurring. Ever.

UGH - PLEASE *DO NOT* SING BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY — IT’S 10 FUCKING MINUTES LONG AND BEYOND PLAYED OUT. NO ONE CAN SING LIKE FREDDIE MERCURY AND PEOPLE JUST SHOULDN’T TRY IT. TEDIOUS!

I Host A Karaoke Show In Elk Grove, California And I See A Lot Of Hilarious Things. My Favorite Song To Sing Is:
I Touch Myself - The Divinyls. (always gets the crowd going)

Here Are A Few NOT To Sing:
Any Shania Twain Song!
All I Wanna Do - Sheryl Crow
Picture - Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow
Any Rap Song If You Don’t Know The Words! Trust Me, You Can’t Read Fast Enough And We Don’t Want To Hear It.

fff

Boyz to Men “the end of the road” very soulfull

Boyz to Men “the end of the road” very soulfull

YMCA - Village People

“la dosis perfecta” is a tight ska band and it is good to listen to.

BACK DOOR MAN AND SOUL MAN. RIPPED OFF MY TITS AFTER A WEDDING WHERE I WAS THE BEST MAN!! ST. AUGUSTINE FLORIDA-2005. COULDN’T TALK FOR 3 DAYS AFTER. LET IT RIP, BITCH!

c’mon…where is my CRUE???
my fav. song is Same Ol’ Situation(S.O.S)!! and Smokin’ in the boys room!! and HOME SWEET HOME!!
(video is recommended by me to watch!!)

Boh rhaps is the “ideal” one but it is hard… No one has mentioned pour some sugar on me… So for a guy this should be the ideal list:
Boh rhaps
Sweet child o mine
Pour some sugar on me
You shook me all night long
Living on a prayer

These 1-have high tempo (imp for karaoke) 2-everyb knows these songs and guys 3-pour some sugar gets the ladies my friends

Other good candidates:
Rebel yell
Rapper’s delight
Erotic city
Walk this way

Maybes:
Old time rock n roll
You give love a bad name
Creep
Anythin anything

Hope this helps
DI

Like everyone else, I’m wondering why Bohemian Rhapsody isn’t on the list.

“Baby Got Back” was pretty hilarious when a friend of mine was convinced to do it at his 30th birthday party, and would’ve been better if he’d been drunk enough to be willing to sing all the lyrics.

if you want to throw people into a frenzy, especially at a bar, it’s got to be “Friends In Low Places.” Yes, I know, but it is.

Mr. Roboto

This song has everything you need to give a great performance.

Last time a friend & I did Meatloaf’s “Anything for Love” and brought the place down with crazy Morrissey-like microphone whipping and running in place during the instrumental breaks. An overlooked gem - U2’s Elevation: if the crowd handles the “wooohoo”, you’re golden.

make yourself the star of any karaoke joint by singing
“lola” - the kinks!

Hands Down Winner:

David Allen Coe
“You Never Even Call Me By My Name”

Runners Up:

John Cougar Mellencamp
“Hurt’s So Good”

Wilson Pickett
“Mustang Sally”

Garth Brooks
“Friends In Low Places”

Jouney-Don’t Stop Believin’
Billy joel-Piano Man
Elton John-Saturday Night’s (All Right For Fighting)
Guns N Roses-Welcome To The Jungle
Bob Seger-Turn The Page
The Beatles-Penny Lane
James Taylor-How Sweet It Is
The Who-Who Are You
Van Halen-Oh Pretty Woman

Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire (if you can pull it off)

And definitely Don’t Stop Believing

Gordon Lightfoot,’If U could read my mind’ Stevie Ray Vaughn”The Sky is Crying” Bad Company

sweet child o mine
sweet caroline
we are the champions

If your not winning the crowd over just expose your genitalia its sure to impress.

Merry christmas

BEST- about 20 guys including myself singing “My Heart Will Go On.”

WORST- Drunk at a party trying to do “American Pie” and giving up after maybe 2 minutes.

bonnie tyler- total eclipse of the heart

Aqua - Barbie Girl

the fucking liberines - time for heroes, esp if ur in a chavvy bar so u can point and sing “there are fewer more disressing sights than that of an english man in a baseball cap!”

All the Beatles songs.

Elbo Room in Peoria, IL is the way to go. Karaoke 7 nights a week. I sing there everynight…from Vanilla Ice, Snow (yes I know the words to Informer, Jimmy Eat World, Bowling for Soup, and Cheap Trick. It is great. Come and see us.

Mack the Knife - Bobby Darin

I rock the shit out of “Space Oddity.”

I once slayed with a drunken barroom rendition of “Time Warp”, followed, of course with “Sweet Transvestite.” I sang all the parts and fucked up my guitar.

I’ve had the mic taken away from me by the bar owner for Bohemian Rhapsody.

The best kareoke song is either Asshole by Denis Leary (especially if someone knows the speech about the baby seals), anything by Meatloaf or What’s Up by 4 non-blondes.
Whats up is also the best campfire song.

suspicious minds - elvis
rainy day woman 12 & 35 - dylan
all you need is love - beatles
sweet jane - lou reed

Here are a few more tunes in addition to all those wonderful Queen songs:

Carry On, My Wayward Son - Kansas
Just What I Needed - The Cars
Welcome to the Jungle - G n’ R
Dream On - Aerosmith
Against All Odds - Phil Collins
In Your Eyes - Peter Gabriel
Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy - Big & Rich (Girls love it for some reason)

SOME NEIL.. “sweet caralin ”

BAH BAH BAH!

Bohemian Rhapsody-Five people, in a car, “Wayne’s World” style. If I could get an entire busful of people to do it, anything is possible.
Yellow Submarine-The Beatles
American Pie-Don McLean(if you can remember all the words)
Baba O’Riley-The Who
And anything by Spinal Tap

I’m too sexy, especialy if theyre drunk enough to strip

Jackson- Johnny Cash. The worse you do, the better.

“Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” especially if you pull your best lounge singer routine

I once sang “Fat Bottomed Girls” by Queen at a bar and brought the place down. I’m 5′8″ and weigh 115 pounds so it was pretty funny.

I maaaade it throoough the wilderneeees.

Somehow I made it throoOOUUUgh.

do ya think i’m sexy?
everything she wants

After shooting porn for a week after last years AVA’s the crew went to a kereoke bar. We got smashed. the highlight was the @nd camera (my best friend) the director (an old fat white geek) and me (we are all white) singing “Lovers and Friends” by Lil’ John, Usher and Luda. Soooooo fucking crazy. Chatsworth!!!!! cough….

hey jude - the beatles
start me up - the rolling stones
babe o’riley - the who
mary janes last dance - tom petty
ziggy stardust - david bowie
hey ya! - outkast

Fuckin Dre Day…

40oz to freedom - Sublime! who doesnt like singing about drinking while drinking?exactly

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is prime sing-along material. Who doesn’t love to sing the opera parts at the top of their lungs? Also fun: The Eagles’ “Hotel California,” The Police’s “Roxanne,” and pretty much anything by Jimmy Buffett.

Tenacious D’s “Tribute” is a good one, too. Especially, “NAY! WE ARE BUT MEN!”

Nice list - could these songs suck any more? How about the a song off the new Gewn Stefani collection?

a boy named sue - johnny cash
hard as nails and fun

Mr. Brightside by the Killers. Even funnier if the singer is totally wasted and didn’t even know all the words when they’re sober.

Sorry, my personal favorite AC/DC - You shook me all night long. There’s a song that gets everyone going.

Sweet Caroline, anyone?

The Killers - “All These Things That I’ve Done”

Esp, if you know an awesome black woman that will sing back up.

r.e.m. - end of the world

“Love Shack”-The B-52s

If you want to show your range, sing this alone but I recommend you’re grouped to do this. Any song by Queen will do as well.

I was also kicked out of a bar in Montana after my friend and I made “Margaritaville” our own. We did a rap version and I was the hype man. “Where the fucking salt shaka!?” The guy running the karakoe machine didn’t go for the “blue” language and had us removed.

I have a few karaoke war stories. A few years ago during my birthday I got a bit too drunk and did a particularly heroic rendition of “Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi. I started throwing articles of clothing into the audience and kicked off my shoes into crowd. One of my Birkenstocks connected with my bosses right eye and he dropped like a sack of potatos. I ended up giving him a huge black eye. Luckily he has a good sense of humor.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

especially if you have a big group.
