Okay, I have been dragged to various karaoke nights in the past but I NEVER sang. Lately, it seems like it's creeping up again as "the cool night out on the town" but I have a total fear of it. Even with alcohol, I would never get up and sing even when begged. I was talking with a friend the other day about this and I figure if I get up once... then I wouldn't be hassled anymore. So I need a stock song to have practiced for such occasions.
Criteria: Popular enough to be on most karaoke lists and possible to be preformed by a tone deaf monotone cat in heat.
Some ideas I have had:
We didn't start the fire -- Billy Joel
I used to know this by heart, not by choice. It was always on the only radio station I could get when I was growing up. However, it is mostly just shouting rather than singing.
It's the end of the world -- REM
Again, just kind of shouting.
Parents just don't understand -- Fresh Prince
It would be funny and is talk/rap.
Luca -- Susanne Vega
I sing it every time I hear it, it is one of theose that get stuck in my head. I might be able to pull off the soft girl voice although it would be monotone.
Back on the chain gang -- Pretenders
I would only want to do back-up though.
Give me some ideas or tell me your stock song. Bonus points if I get to swear in the song...."Kick out the jams....motherfuckers!'
