It’s all true. NYC loves Jesse’s Girl and Frank Sinatra. Start spreadin’ the news. I’m leavin’ today. New York, New York.

No,DAVID,noone! Because you may not make a song as stupid as Ozzy’s( I don’t mean only Lita Ford’s “If I close my eyes forever” and ” Mama,I’m coming home”,they are great songs!)!!!
And about Rolling Stone,come on,why is Jon Bon Jovi on the picture and not Axl Rose or GN’R,ha?!?!?!
I agree about “Paradise City”,but I’ll say also “Sweet child o’mine”.

This is regional New York, New York and My Way by Frank Sinatra

And put me down for “Jesse’s Girl” as well. It is really popular with guys probably because it’s not that challenging of a vocal range and girls dig it and like to sing along. Don’t know about anywhere else, but it’s really popular in the 5 boroughs.

Africa - Toto

“Mellow Yellow,” Donovan.

carry on my wayward son - kansas

I’ve known Rick Springfield since the early 70s when he was bouncing around in a lot of bands in LA trying to find a niche. Unfortunately, when he finally made it, he also took a part on General Hospital, and he lost some credibility with the critics, which was a shame. I’ve seen Rick perform live many times and we’ve shared the same bill on many occasions, he really is a true rock and roller and is amazing live. So, I have to go with quite a few of you with “Jesse’s Girl.” As far as VH, I sincerely do wish Dave and the band the best of luck. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

“Home Sweet Home” by Motley Crue!!!!

“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor (for all the ladies in the house);) and others..

And Ben Stiller joked about it, but “Reminiscing” by the Little River Band

Blinded By The Light and Jesse’s Girl.

Both of these songs were in Boogie Nights in the “Low Way Down” scene: Sister Christian and Jesse’s Girl, and my “Rehad Jackson” character Karaoked to both of them.

Jesse’s Girl

if you learned to play nice instead of PRETENDING to play nice, people wouldn’t fuck with you.

…with that said, there are a few who come close on the vocals, but there will only be a one and only Jim.

Actually, you are correct. There is at least one singer who can pull off Doors vocals quite well, but if I mention the name, I know I’ll be verbally attacked.

Actually, believe it or not, I’ve seen a few people do a pretty good job with Morrison, one of them being me. And I knew a guy who was in a Doors tribute band and he eerily sounded and looked like Morrison.

Those songs only have effect when sung by Jim Morrison.

Don’t even bother karaokeing them, and don’t waste your time trying to be him.

bad medicine, bon jovi
wannabe, spice girls (sorry but its true)
welcome to the jungle, gnr
and i do a pretty fuckin amazing smells like teen spirit.

hahaha

Well, I’ve always said that you can’t go wrong with The Doors and karaoke, so that’s my vote. “Hello, I Love You,” “Light My Fire,” or if you’re really ambitious bust out “Touch Me” onstage and see if you get any takers!

Just kidding. Ha ha.

I’d also have to say “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor is definitely up there.

For the ladies, I’d nominate “Brass in Pocket,” probaly, although I’ve yet to hear a good version

later.

“Somebody to Love” by Jefferson Airplane
“We Will Rock You” by Queen
“Under Pressure” by David Bowie
“Billie Jean” by Michael Jackson
“Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix-A-Lot
“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

FAT BOTTOM GIRLS!!!!

I’ve learned that a LOT of the Tenacious D catalog works EXTREMELY well if you wanna go in and dominate an open mic night. OH, and a few of the Darkness tunes would be shweet, too.

Jesse’s Girl

The entire Beatles catalogue, and the entire “Get a grip” album from Aerosmith… I go craaaaaaaaaaazy, craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy

What’s Karaoke?

If you’ve seen Lost in Translation, you’d know that God Save the Queen by the Sex Pistols is the top karaoke song ever.

I want to write a book on this exact subject…some of these are not personal favorites, but they do deserve some mentioning:

“Piano Man”-Billy Joel
“Sweet Caroline”-Neil Diamond
“Walking in Memphis”-that Coen dude-Mark Coen!
“American Pie”-Don McLean

Personal favorites:
“Santeria”-Sublime
“Let’s Get It On”-Marvin Gaye
ANYTHING Frank Sinatra, specifically “I’ve Got You Under My Skin” or “New York, New York”

Maybe I’ll think of some more later…

9. Guns N’ Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine
8. Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds
7. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
6. ABBA - Dancing Queen
5. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

it’s the end of the world as we know it (and i’m scared shitless!)

I hate it but I hear it all the time: Two Out of Three by Meat Head.

from now on, I’ll leave out songs nominated by RS (since they’ll obviously be in the list), though it’s a shame the list is confined to rock tunes since Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” is a staple in any karaoke night.

Here’s my top 10 karaoke jams:

10. Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name
9. Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
8.Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds
7. ABBA - Dancing Queen
6. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody
5. AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long
4. Journey - Don’t Stop Believin’
3. Madonna - Like a Virgin
2. Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
1. Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

You’re kidding? You’d need an aqualung to breathe after that one.

its the end of the world as we know it (and i feel fine)

I like to rock out to “The Old Rugged Cross”

I REFUSE to rock out to Superfreak.

Two words … “Super Freak” by Rick James … bitch.

I dare you to not try and rock out to this one.

I believe in a thing called love - the darkness

Behold the power of Vodka!

By the Police? Who the fuck can sing that high?

This Rock list f–king SUCKS! I will tell you mine though…its Crazy Train by Ozzy Osborne. Now im embarresed. Does anyone have any song like this??

Rock Daily is really dating itself with those suggestions…

Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” always works for me. Nail the big key change and you shan’t go home alone, my friend.

Friends in Love Places by Garth Brooks
Brandy by Looking Glass
Solitary Man by Neil Diamond (any Neil song deserves honorable mention)

It definitely won’t make the list, but it’s my favorite: Everybody Knows by Leonard Cohen. Believe it or not, I can hit all those low notes right on.

Without a question, “Bohemian Rhapsody” has to be up there

queen-somebody to love or bruce-thunder road. both epic and tough on the pipes

I fuckin’ rock at the Doors’ “Break on Through.” Ask somebody. I used to shake the walls apart at the Reub’n'Stein.

friends in low places

Rock Daily is really dating itself with those suggestions…

Aww … not many comments …

Maybe not rock song, but “Like a Prayer” is sooo my song. That, and “Zombie.” Yeah, that’s right, the Cranberries!

Dream On - Aerosmith.

When I saw ‘Miracle’, people were singing along with it during the credits.

Rock n Roll all Night
