…So I’m sick and tired of being dragged to Karaoke night at a local watering hole and flipping through pages and pages of trash before I end up singing Clarence Carters’ comedic funk number "Strokin’" or a rousing version of Robert Palmer’s "Addicted to Love" or an occasional Prince jam, usually "Little Red Corvette". My dream song to find is Perry Como’s "Magic Moments", however if they had real bands I feel it would be alot more fun. I added the (er) as to not offend any Karaoke fans that like singing the same old same old. Not that there is anything wrong with that, maybe there are good Karaoke places but this is getting to long and misguided so back to the top…
…Polar Opposites by Modest Mouse
why? because when I’m at a Karaoke bar I most likely am trying to drink away the parts of the day I cannot sleep away…
April 25, 2003 at 7:02 am #93203She’s Lost Control, or Digital – Joy Division
Why? would scare the fuck outta the Karaokeites. plus you could do the epileptic dance manouevours of Mr Curtis.
"And she screamed out, kicking on her side
And seized up on the floor
I thought she’d died
She said "I’ve lost control again"
April 25, 2003 at 11:35 am #93204echos myron by guided by voices. pretty much for the same reason as likeaghost’s selection of polar opposites.
April 25, 2003 at 5:17 pm #93205Can´t we move this
Because it doesn´t show that you´re drunk when you don´t know the exact words and just mumble seen no one does know them anyway.
April 25, 2003 at 8:31 pm #93206I was going to suggest "Transmission" by Joy Division, because it seems the opposite of most Karaokee numbers.
Actually the Smith’s "Panic" is the polar opposite
"HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ HANG THE DJ!"

– not many lyrics to remember :aliensmile: and it would scare people if you reaally got into it
April 26, 2003 at 5:20 am #93208I can mention a dozen songs that or not on the list at karaokebars, but please, please
NO MORE :
PARADISE BY THE DASHBOARDLIGHT
April 26, 2003 at 11:21 am #93209God that has to be painful…meatloaf done even worse by drunken…

I could BEAR a karaoke nite that included Breakthrough by Modest Mouse along with all the songs people have mentioned….while drinking away the parts of the day I cannot sleep away.
FreakScene Karaoke would definitely scare away all the frightening people
April 26, 2003 at 11:33 am #93210I’d like to sing hardcore numbers. Because hardcore is the funnest music to sing.
So could I make a request for SOA’s "Public Defender" and Minor Threats "Screaming at a Wall"
At least I won’t hog the stage for too long.
April 26, 2003 at 11:36 am #93211Karaoke Bars would be cool(er) if they had… someone walk up to the microphones, and destroy them. Then someone walks up to the rest of the Karaoke equipment and places their drunken foot into all of it..
wow, I am hostile on a Saturday morning.

April 26, 2003 at 4:36 pm #93213Some Black Flag tunes would be nice

They could advertise it as "Henry Rollins wannabe night"
April 26, 2003 at 5:45 pm #93214Okay this is not a cool story but I think I can share it with you:
I met the female singer of our band in a Karaoke-bar. She had finished "I will survive" and I was both impressed and drunk. We start talking about music and bands and the rest is uh …history!
I’m not sure if she had done Paradise by the the dashboardlight it would have end the same way, on the other hand….I was drunk anyways
