One of top 3 least favorite things...
Don't sing it, don't watch it, don't go to places that promote it...
I've tried, my friends have got me to try, but I just don't like it.

The other 2:
People who drive slow in fast lane
Stupid people

I loooooove karaoke, though. My personal favorite song to sing is "Sweet Child O' Mine" by GNR. I hate to stroke my ego, but my version would most definitely impress Axl.

I also love doing "Rapture" by Blondie, "Brass In Pocket" by The Pretenders, "I Hate Myself For Loving You" by Joan Jett, "Cherry Bomb" by The Runaways, "Surrender" by Cheap Trick, any No Doubt, any Ramones, EVERYTHING AC/DC has ever done dude, I love to sing, haha.

Last night, my friends and I went karaokeing, and my friend Nika and I did "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead, and it was so ****ing funny, but we didn't do a bad job. Then me & my friend Mikey did "Fight For Your Right" by the Beastie Boys. He and my boyfriend did "Paul Revere" by the Beasties one time, too. It was so funny.

I'm officially a lame. Oh well.

You're going to see Neko? Awesome! I bet you kick ass at all of those songs, you have such a great voice.

I love to karaoke but don't do it very often. I love to do Fee Fallin' by Tom Petty, and for some reason whenever I'm really drunk I have an urge to sing "Twist and Shout" by the Beatles. No idea why. It's fun though. The last time I went, one of my friends sang "Barbie Girl." -__- Ears bled.

I've never done karaoke, but I've once talked the bartender at my favorite bar to get up and sing the Mr. Rogers theme song. effing.hilarious.

Well in the past I've sung:

The Cars - Just What I Needed
Elton John - Tiny Dancer
Whitney Houston - I Wanna Dance With Somebody
Stevie - Stand Back
Genesis - Land of Confusion


And speaking of Genesis, I can also crank out a pretty awesome version of In Too Deep.

I love karaoke, with the requirement that I must be drunk. Not fall down incoherent drunk, but a bit tipsy. Here are my usuals:

Dreams (with the low-note cop out on "it's only ME" ala' The Dance version)
Gold Dust Woman
Stop Draggin' (If I can find a duet partner)
The Warrior (just so I can do the gun shooting hand mime)
Paradise by the Dashboard Light (yes, I do know all the words & get tremendously pissed when someone singing doesn't)
American Pie (So.Long.So.Fun.)


I would do more Stevie if most karaoke people around here had more, but they usually don't. I'm sure I could handle Stand Back. And I'm sure I could drunkenly convince myself that I could handle Edge.

My.God. Karaoke places have this?! I must visit. Yes, you heard me, fly entirely across the country just to karaoke that song... BANG BANG!

Oh. Right. I should add that I've never done Karaoke while sober. It just doesn't seem as fun

And I'm a great singer when I'm drunk

My sister has playstation karoke that she will pop in at some point during family events. She gets a little miff though when I receive the platinum scores. My favorites are The Reason (Hoobastank) and Killing Me Softly (not Roberta but The Fugees.)

I've heard of that game and am wildly curious! How does it work? Do you get points and how?

I know my ex-boyfriend's mother is all hooked on this game, I just never knew how it worked...but it sounds like a lot of fun...because it has the word "karaoke" in it

I believe it works by calculating whether or not you're on key & on time.

They did when we used to have it at my parents' bar.

Yes, we all are, aren't we?

I can't sing well, but I've heard worse. And at least I never attempt a song I don't know like some other morons. The timing's always off, they get the words wrong (even though they're right in front of them) and they're off key. I know it's all in fun, but Jesus H. Christ!
