there are so many more.. but these are my favs

Ahhh...I love karaoke. But after working in a karaoke bar you tend to get sick of some songs because people tend to sing the same songs over and over and over again.

My picks:
Let's Hear it For the Boy (Deniece Williams)
Mouth (Merrill Bainbridge)
Crazy (Patsy Cline)
Come to my Window (Melissa Etheridge)
Crazy For You (Madonna)
Red Red Wine (UB40)
Piano in the Dark (Brenda Williams)
Don't Know Why (Norah)
Knock Three Times (Tony Orlando & Dawn)
Show Me Love & Do You Know What it Takes (Robyn)
Hopelessly Devoted To You (Olivia)

And I will shoot you if any of you sing the following around me:
7 (Prince)
Me & Mrs. Jones (I won't shoot you if you sing it well)
After the Lovin' (Englebert Humperdinck)
Sweet Caroline (Neil)
Lady in Red
Sexual Healing
Shake You Down (again, I'll spare you if it's done well)
...and SPEEDY GONZALES

And it's "kah-rah-oh-kay"...not "kaa-ree-ohh-kee"! ;)

"You're Still the One" - Shania Twain
"What I Really Meant to Say" Cyndi Thompson
"Foolish Games" Jewel
"Like a Prayer" Madonna
"I Need You" Leanne Rimes

The last time I sang at Karaoke during a dinner party. I sang "Breathe" by Faith Hill

During my freshman year in college 12 years ago, my favorite song to sing at Karaoke was "These Boots Are Made For Walking" by Nancy Sinatra.

Any Dixie Chicks song :)

I sung an Elton John song once...I forgot which one.

I have also sang Baby Got Back with a friend of mine. We got the bar so hyped! lol It was funny cause I spilled my drink down my shoe and I went on stage and was like WASSUP EVERYBODY! I GOT A WET FOOT! SQUISHY SOCK! WOO!

When a buncha brothers get drunk at a karaoke bar, the favorite to sing as a group is Margartaville (by Brother Jimmy Buffett)

Allison Krause "When You Say Nothing at All"

Alanis Morrisette "You Oughta Know"

Can't remember who sings it, but "Son of a Preacher Man"

The Founders "Build Me Up Buttercup"

Blonde "One Way"

Dixie Chics "Goodbye Earl"

I've never been to a karaoke bar, but when I was a kid and my parents bought me a karaoke machine, my sister and I constantly sang Debbie Gibson's In Your Eyes and Paula Abdul's songs like Coldhearted Snake and other songs I can't even remember now. And we sang From a Distance a lot too... so if I ever went to a karaoke bar, I'd be impartial to those.

I'll never forget my 21st birthday...I spent it in the Lake District of England and the group I was with (I studied abroad that semester) went to a pub in the town we were staying and they had kareoke that night. I'll never forget one of the guys and one of the girls singing Love Shack, nor will I forget all of us girls singing I Will Survive :) (I need to go watch kareoke more often! :D )

The first time I tried to do kareoke was at a big party at the end of yearbook camp with some of the girls from my staff....we were going to sing Respect ~ Aretha Franklin and that will be my all time favorite kareoke time forever and ever (we never got to sing because the party ended before we were called :( )

I have never actually Karaoke-d. But if I did, I would love to sing, "Copacabana" (by the illustrious Barry Manilow).

Who Will Save Your Soul (Jewel)
Come to My Window (Melissa Etheridge)
My Favorite Mistake (Sheryl Crow)
anything Fleetwood Mac

since I seem to be the only one of my friends who ever gets up to sing, I usually end up doing whatever they would have done, if they weren't complete wusses. :p

My best (or perhaps worst...?) karaoke moment was doing "Baby Got Back" at the end of my sophomore year. I was transferring and never going there again -- what did I care?
People still never believe that I was completely sober at the time.

Someone should plan a GC event of going for some karaoke! That would be so awesome.

Anyway here are my usuals:
Forever - Ahn Jae Wook (Korean)
Make it Real - Jets
Looking Through Your Eyes - Leanne Rimes
From This Moment - Shania Twain
Truly, Madly, Deeply - Savage Garden
You Lost That Loving Feeling
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now - Jefferson Starship
When You Say Nothing At All - Allison Krauss
Dancing Queen - ABBA

...and many more depending on what I'm in the mood for but the list above is the ones I frequent if the karaoke place has them

House of The Rising Sun- The Animals
Freebird-Lynard Skinard
Strokin

Re: MY KAROKEE PICKS
 

I Touch Myself and Baby Got back are my FAV songs to do. Last time we really got into it was my friends 21st, we did a GREAT rendition of Love Shack and Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!

Don;t forget the late and great Jonny Cash and Ring of Fire :)

Re: MY KAROKEE PICKS
 

ME TOOO!!! Plus, I LOVE anything MADONNA, BRITNEY, or CHRISTINA!!!!!!!!!!

I karaoke'd only one time in public. At Dave & Buster's in Philadelphia, about 8 years ago.

I went up with 2 other girls & we sang "Respect" by Aretha.

We brought the house down. Well, as far as I can remember. http://www.computerpannen.com/cwm/otn/wink/wink2.gif

I've only done it a few times, but my song is "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" by Crash Test Dummies. I have a pretty deep voice, so it works out well. I also sang "Sweet Home Chicago" with a couple of friends, which was cool.

Cheesy early 90's are the best.... Bryan Adams, Meatloaf, Celine Dion, En Vogue, and the list goes on and on and on. So. Much. Fun.
