Favorite pub songs that people sing along with .. .

[SHEETCAKE]

Patty-cake, patty-cake,
Not as good as SHEET!

Anything by CAKE.

"The Stripper" should be taken off of all jukeboxes. You try having a woman jump out of your fluffy moist insides.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Piano Man
Knock Three Times
Don't Stop Believin'
Livin' on a Prayer (or whatever Bon Jovi Slippery When Wet song of your choice)
What's Going On (4 Non Blondes)

I used to work at a karaoke bar.

[Sister Havana]

In Bloomington: "Never Wanna F'n See You Again" by Rich Hardesty. Play that on the jukebox at Kilroy's and everybody sings along!

I think most people go for oldies because more people know the words, but I could be wrong.

Piano Man (or almost anything else by) - Billy Joel
Build Me Up, Buttercup
Sweet Home Alabama - Lynard Skynard
We Are Fam-A-Lee ('burgh only)
Runaround Sue - Del Shannon (?)
Hey Jude - the Beatles
Friends - Bette Midler


And none of the above are "my" karaoke songs!

Summer of 69
The Unicorn (Irish Rovers)
Living on a Prayer
Where the Streets Have No Name
Thunderstruck

[AlphaFrog]

I Love Rock & Roll
Goodbye Earl (well, at least the "Earl had to die" part)
Summer Nights
I Will Survive

And I used to go to a bar where everyone would sing along with Hank Williams Jr's Family Tradition, and would add the following:

Why do you drink? To get drunk
(Hank) Why do you roll smoke? To get stoned
Why must you live out the songs that you wrote? To get laid

[SWTXBelle]

Irish pub songs!

The Minstrel Boy
The Wild Rover
Rising of the Moon
Whisky in the Jar
Maids, when you're young, never wed an old man.
Three Jolly coachmen

Yep, that's what I remember most from college fraternity parties!

My husband's uncle used to own a biker bar in SC, and some popular choices there were:
Freebird (Lynard Skynard)
Anything Bocephus (Hank Williams Jr for any of you who don't know his nickname)
Angel (Aerosmith... hey, these bikers had a soft side)
Wanted Dead or Alive (Bon Jovi)
Man in the Box (Alice in Chains)

I forgot the other quintessential Irish Rovers song - Wasn't That a Party ("Could have been the whiskey, might have been the gin, could of have been the 3, 4 6-pack, I don't know, but look at the mess I'm in. My head is like a football, I think I'm gonna die, saying me-oh me-oh my, wasn't that a party...")
