Handrejka 1,842 Posted December 6, 2017 Count me in as someone who has only ever done karaoke once. In my final couple of weeks in Cologne, those of us who were leaving were all challenged to something no-one would expect us to so I though I'd have a go at karaoke. I tried to sing Itchycoo Park and I think Lane and Marriott are still turning in their graves. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,706 Posted December 6, 2017 I’ve only done it twice and I was absolutely fucking spannered both times. But even if you’re not pissed, nobody wants to listen to fucking amateur twats thinking they’re fucking Tina Turner or Neil Diamond, I can state with absolute certainty that 100% of people that do karaoke are 99% less good than they think they are. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FixedBusiness 407 Posted December 7, 2017 Bridge Over Troubled Water by Simon and Garfunkel is always a fun one. *just a note, I've only ever done karaoke once, during band camp in grade 8. I forget what I picked then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DevonDeathTrip 2,294 Posted December 7, 2017 I've never done kareoke, but would probably choose an instrumental like Tubular Bells and treat the audience to a thousand yard stare instead. 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spade_Cooley 9,065 Posted December 7, 2017 I did "On A Ragga Tip" once. Not recommended. Also not recommended: "United States of Whatever" by Liam Lynch 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

time 8,000 Posted December 7, 2017 The one and only time I performed publicly was at an 18th birthday party we sort-of gatecrashed (knew the DJ), and did my not-famed rendition of Perry Como's Magic Moments. For some reason, it wasn't well-received. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,292 Posted December 10, 2017 As Book can attest, I miserably failed at Carly Simon's 'Nobody does it better'. But my Sinead O'Connor was quite good many years ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

harrymcnallysblueandwhitearmy 1,472 Posted May 14, 2020 Haven't done live karaoke enough to name a regular, but I've tried most genres in my 10.4k online recordings. I quite like doing Jacques Brel songs, either in the original French or as the Scott Walker versions. I read back through this thread and... yes Spade, I've also sung On a Rubbish Tip by SL2.

Sir Creep 7,025 Posted May 16, 2020 No sense in the bump but ‘Twas funny. I suspect few around here can carry a choon, and if they did karaoke they’d either have posted already or wouldn’t admit it. I can, do, and have so listed. Lets see if I’m wrong about people around here and get even one proper reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,077 Posted May 16, 2020 Used to sing in a new wave (mostly) covers band as a young womble so can still knock out Into the Valley, Teenage Kicks or 'Babylon's burning' in the unlikely event of the occasion demanding it. Only ever done actual karaoke once, to be sociable. 'Remember you're a womble' was not an option so compromised on 'Still rock''n' roll to me' (Billy Joel). 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
