„OMG where’s the door GTFO“

"Whip my Hair" by Willow Smith

Usually clears out the room before the song is over and I have the stage all to myself the rest of the night.
Lol, I might need to add this to my rotation of fuck this crowd music to play on the touch tunes at a bar. I've cleared a few bars out playing the hulk Hogan theme song, the 30 minute pink Floyd song Echoes, and previously the uncensored 2 live crew song doo wah Diddy.
They took the latter off the whole ass app probably because of me. The song opens with "I met this bitch standing on the block, she'll suck on my dick and I'll buy her a rock." All to the tube of doo wah Diddy. Boomers get all excited about it and then get all salty. They don't make em like they used to.
It's a dirty job, but someone's gotta do it.
Tequila 😎
Country Roads, Take Me Home by John Denver
It's a crowd pleaser every time
Smallest Church in Saint-Saens, the karaoke song in Disco Elysium.
I think I can pull the raspy voice.
Piano Man
Caballo homosexual de las montaaañas
Bruce Springsteen. I'm not a fan, but it's the only thing my 3-note vocal range can sing. That's three notes, and not three octaves. I barely inflect enough not to be confused with a robot.
It's gonna depend on my mood.
Currently the mood is Ænima by Tool.
I'm playing the Doom theme and fighting my way to the exit as I am clearly in hell.
"Check, please!"
If you want one to bring the room to life, the answer is "I Want It That Way" by the Backstreet Boys. It kills 100% of the time--everyone will sing along. You can't help it.
Train - Hey, Soul Sister
A-ha - Take on me
every time
I went to a karaoke night one where there were actual talented singers. There was a lady who did this song, nailing all the high notes.
Her friend followed up with Beyonce - Love on top, and nailed every key change.
Not to be out done, one of their BF's/Husbands followed that With Bill Withers - Lovely Day, and held all the notes...
My friends and I left. We did not know it was that type of party.
And then promptly leave, before I get accused of attempted mass murder
Arch Enemy is great though! I like your style
I'm going to sing to one song and one song only...My Humps by The Black-eyed Peas!
Grounds for Divorce by Elbow.
Probably a random Russian, Ukrainian or Italian song I know, because I like to sing in these languages.
If you want a fun karaoke night, first song(s) need to be something that will get most everyone singing. Younger crowds: something like Tayor Swift "Shake It Off". Middle age crowds, something like Nirvana or Aerosmith. Older crowds any Beatles #1.
I personally like Cyprus Hill "Jump Around" if you're willing to learn it well enough beforehand as to not butcher the lyrics. I've seen Vanilla "Ice Ice Baby" also get a similar reaction of everyone knowing the song and enjoying it enough to give you kudos for choosing it.
After everyone's over the initial hesitation, go belt all your love songs and power ballads; but get the party started first.
Duality - slipknot
The Champs - Tequila
Funky Town
I have friends who try to convince me to sing, I always tell them "Look, there's only one song I can do and I guarantee they don't have it..."
"Come on man, they have thousands of songs, they have to have it..."
"Fine, if they have it, I'll do it. Green Onions by Booker T and the MGs."
And man, they'll run and look for that song... then they argue...
"I don't think it's a real song!"
"I know it is! I've heard of it!"
The song:
To be fair, that isn't a song its just music, so they were right lol
Suffragette city
Last time I did this, I dedicated (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman to my now ex-wife.
And I’d do it again!
I'd go with Girl Fight by Soft Play. Because it's just 10 seconds of shouting and super cool. No one needs to hear what I sound like singing.
My go-to’s are:
Blind Melon - No Rain
Fra Lippo Lippi - Light and Shade
Sting - Englishman in New York
Seal - Kiss From A Rose
I was gonna say Kiss From A Rose, but only because nobody would see that shit coming.
I think I've got enough goofy charm to pull off 24 Hour Cinderella... or at least, I will think that after a few drinks.
I'm probably leaving the bar. But to answer your question...
Radio, Radio by Elvis Costello.
Puscifer - Conditions of my Parole
Whenever I'm in a rather Yee-Haw place, and bars are filled with folks wearing camo and baseball caps, my go-to is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, it gets people riled up.
Later in the evening, once folks have had a few drinks in them, Take Me Home Country Roads is unquestionably the song to end with.
See also: Friends in Low Places. They played it at a AAA baseball game here and the whole place was chanting it lol.
Halfway through there's a drunk woman and her reluctant husband/boyfriend/male friend/drafted stranger who sings "Picture" by Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow.
Thunderball - Tom Jones
Tequila.
Orville Peck - C'mon Baby Cry
Every time this plays at my house everyone is belting it out. Nobody can hit the high notes.
Anything by Supertramp or Bad Company.
Feelings
Horse With No Name. Has a limited vocal range, and the humans will give no love.
starts driving in San Andreas with K-DST on radio
Plush - Stone Temple Pilots. I kill with that one.
"Mad World" by Gary Jules.
But really you want to start off with "Take On Me" and "Never Gonna Give You Up".
I mostly only know parody lyrics, so it will go badly no matter what.
Nah, if you can drop the weird Al lyrics without them being on the screen, the crowd will love it.
I know someone who did that who is a REALLY GOOD, like pro level singer. Crowd was delighted when she started singing and they heard how great her voice was. Then they were slightly puzzled when some of the words were different. Then they realized she was singing a parody and they were like WTF. I suppose I'll try it anyway if the occasion comes up .
Here she is singing a Queen--Bohemian Rhapsody / Star Wars crossover parody:
im sliding up to the first woman i see wym
"It's the end of the world and I know it!"
That's great!
Mosquito song
Promised Land- Elvis version.
I'd probably shoot for Bruno mars and regret it.
