We've all been there. You accidentally find yourself drunk in Chicago's Rock Café in some god-forsaken town in the middle of nowhere, and it's karaoke night. Suddenly one of your mates suggests you go up there and sing, and because ten pints have made you the best singer in the country, you accept. But what do you sing?

My favourites are

Culture Club - Karma Chameleon
Soft Cell - Tainted Love
Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
The Strokes - Last Nite
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama

Et tu?
 
Spandau Ballet - Gold
Don McLean - American Pie
Meatloaf - Paradise by the Dashboard Light
 
American Pie is more of a "belt it out acapella when we're trashed" song for me and my mates. It's cheating if you have the words up in front of you when you're singing it.
 
Pixies - Debaser or Where Is My Mind
Beatles - With A Little Help From My Friends
U2 - With Or Without You

Oh my God.. that song lasts for about half a century doesn't it?!

I remember going to a kareoke at uni and this couple sang it, my friend who I went with was gettin angry because they were taking so long and she wanted to sing!!!

I can't sing, so its fitting I 'sing' Girls Aloud - Sound of the Underground, because they don't actually 'sing' anything so anything I do is an improvement... surely.

I'm sure I've typed this before - recently...

~Hmm

I wouldn't ever subject people to my voice using an amplifier, but I used to do Dominated Love Slave at parties with a mate at uni. In a stupid deep south, high pitch redneck voice naturally.
 
Nirvana - Smells like teen spirit

did that at a kareoke once, and people said they couldnt tell the difference between kurt cobain and me after 8 pints!

^ take that however you will!
 
I did karaoke last night in a pub called "The Bull", it's in Romford. Anyway, me and my mate thought it would be good to do "Wild Rover" because we thought it was the Dropkick Murphey's version (which is miles better), but it was the original and we were so out of time with it. DJ said it was truely dreadful. But I got a shot at redemption near the end, I had put my name down for Bryan Adams "Summer of 69". Man did I lift the place up! Everyone joined in and I was told I did it really well. It's so much fun to get up there and do well.
Next week it's gonna be either:
Crocodile Rock - Elton John
Club Tropicana - Wham!
Walk of Life - Dire Straits
How You Remind Me - Nickelback
White Wedding - Billy Idol
 
Anything Oasis- probably Live forever.

A couple if my mates tried to, erm, 'sing' Firestarter at some grothole pub once. We never went there again.
 
Credence Clearwater Revival - Proud Mary, Bad Moon Rising.
Wilson Pickett - Mustang Sally
Elvis - Suspicious Minds
