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
"Hangin By a Moment" Lifehouse
"Can't Make you Love me" Bonnie Raitt
"Shot Through the Dark" Bon Jovi

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.
