Karaoke suggestions, anyone?
 

Does anyone have any go-to Fleetwood Mac songs for karaoke? Anyone ever sung FM at karaoke?
My friendship group are really into this excruciating form of entertainment. The only thing worse than singing karaoke is being there and not singing. Or tentatively doing it and doing it badly. Last time we were out I murdered ‘Zoom’ by Fat Larry’s Band and ‘Buffalo Soldier’ by Bob Marley. I’m thinking I need to fall back on what I know. I can’t sing. I’m awful. But I reckon if I prep some FM in advance of the next night out I’ll be okay.

So- any suggestions? Anyone sing anything before? What’s easy? What goes down well? I think I could manage Seven Wonders okay. And I think, maybe As Long As You Follow could be quite easy….ish.

Dreams is an easy one to sing but really drags unless you can liven with expressive vocals. Everywhere is a good choice, as are Big Love, Don't Stop, Say that You Love Me, and Gypsy. I recommend staying away from Sara, which ends up a boring drone, and Go Your Own Way, which requires a very broad vocal range. I love karaoke but seldom pick an FM song.

Don't Stop might be the best one because it's so upbeat and it has the natural "group moment" at the end.

Maybe …Landslide, as everyone will join in..

No way would I do Dreams. It’s so drab for karaoke. I had definitely thought about Gypsy….was singing it very loudly in the car yesterday.

Over My Head or Say You Love Me

Too bad they don't have deep cuts because Sugar Daddy would be the one.

Have you considered "These Strange Times"?

There was a reason Christine said the demo of Dreams was boring.

It does drag on... it's slow...

YMLF is fun if you can hit and sustain those notes! If you can't, it's a disaster.

Might get thrown out of the bar/club! :p:]

Haha!! This is really funny! :lol:

I've never taken karaokes seriously. For me, it's a time to have fun, and if we don't know how to sing well, we simply laugh at ourselves. But I suppose I'm in the minority. And so far, I've seen that karaoke in the United States almost always involves singing on a stage. That creates more pressure. Here in Peru, we sing from the table where we're sitting. We don't even need to stand up. More relaxed.

The last time I sang in a karaoke was in a pub at a peruvian mountains town. We (all guys) were so drunk that we choose Baby One More Time. I was in charge of the "still believe!" high note. Amid laughter, of course, we received more applause than Cameron Diaz did when she sang I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself in My Best Friend Wedding. :lol:

Back to the topic, I went to a Karaoke Halloween 2023 in Texas. A girl sang Dreams, very beautiful. So I recommend that song.

Well, that had always been my philosophy. I know I can’t sing. Never will. So why bother? But then I get fed up being sh!t. It would be quite nice to turn up a bit prepared for a change and do a decent job. Have my friends say ‘hey, Charles, that was pretty good. Well done’

Anyway, drove to work and back today belting out Silver Springs, over and over again. You know The Beatles version of Twist and Shout? Johns voice is gruff and cracking at the end? I was like that today.

GIVE ME JUST A CHAAAANCE

Some easy songs to sing:

"Evenin' Boogie"
"Albatross"
"Fighting for Madge"
"Searching for Madge"
"Underway"
"My Dream"
"Oh Well Part II"
"World in Harmony"
"Earl Gray"
"Sunny Side of Heaven"
"Caught in the Rain"
"Safe Harbour" (although the last few seconds are pretty difficult)

Book of Miracles off Tango B side!

Or the Tango version of Juliet

SECOND VERSE!

In that case, Tusk (6/4/79 USC Version) from Tusk Deluxe 2015.

Songbird (instrumental version)

Some great suggestions indeed, My love, My love.
But after careful consideration, my next Karaoke effort will be featuring Thoughts on a Grey Day. My love

I don’t sing. I can’t sing. But I did karaoke Go Your Own Way once. It’s a banger and always will go over well. But it’s incredibly hard to do and pivoting from the verses to the chorus is not for the faint of heart. I don’t know what it sounded like to the people in the bar but I did my best Lindsey impression - the hard part about being a fan of a band like Fleetwood Mac, the karaoke arrangements are all very studio version and I’m up there thinking I can easily pivot into some 1982 LA Forum style ad libs (terribly).

But there's one Fleetwood Mac song that is perfect for those who can't sing or do so with great difficulty. A song that, no matter what note you sing, you will never disappoint.

These Strange Times. :)
