A tenner for karaoke???!!!

In the pub tonight and ended up having a "discussion" with a buddy, and we were trying to figure out, if you were hammered enough and there was a band on stage, what would be the song you'd pay a tenner to sing with them? (the live band) Mine was "Bicycle race" by Queen, and his was "last christmas"(!) by Wham. Yes, I call this man a friend.

So what I'd like to know, is... what would be the song that you would part cash to sing with a live band?

Ugh Wham, disown him! Paradise City here. *stomps on the floor*

Lads, I've just had a great idea....

Would this be something a lot of people would be interested in doing do you think? I play in a band myself, regular gigs playing the usual pub rock stuff, but this could be an interesting idea! Bit of a money maker...

Well? What would you spend your tenner on? PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS!! lol:D

I get paid 100 round ones just to play the guitar for 2 hours, why would I want to sing?!

Thats such a musicians answer If you had to, what would you choose?

It would probably have to be something by Incubus, suits my voice, so I'll go with Wish You Were Here!

EDIT: Methinks this thread has reached its smiley face quota!

NICE!!
I changed my mind. I'd love to do folsom prison blues witha a live band. that would rock so much!

Pigman II

I'd probably sing "I've Been Everywhere"

However If I was drunk enough to get up on stage and hand over a tenner like that then I'm sure I'd equally be too drunk to remember the lyrics too.

the Shades

Race the Dream by Kill Hannah

and if you guys were able to play it when I hopped up on stage i'd give you €50

If I had the vocal ability I'd sing a song called 'lucky number' by reef, but since I don't i'd probably murder the faith no more version of 'easy like sunday morning'

chamlis

3 Libras by A Perfect Circle.
I do a pretty good Maynard voice.

Dave!

COCAINE BLUES, le Johnny Cash

Lurk

Rick Astley's Cry for Help. I don't care what you say, it'd have the crowd in tears and I'd win the competition. What's the prize anyway? wouldn't do it for a bag of buttons

Anything by Gilbert and Sullivan!!

Ma favorite song: Paranoid Android by Radiohead

But I wouldn't need to pay a tenner for that, My band can do that!

If I was able to sing then it'd have to be Black by Pearl Jam. But i'm not.

Sleepy

I think most of the pub would cough up good money to have me not sing tbh.

But if I was able to sing I'd have to go for something like Mack The Knife.

I've got you under my skin - and you would all love it!!!

NeMiSiS

Total Eclipse of the heart - The Dan Band version, failing that..
The Greatest Love of all - The coming to America Randy Watson and Sexual Chocolate version

Wish You Were Here has gotta be my favourite song of all time!
But I think for karaoke purposes its gotta be Bon Jovi baby! prob Livin' on a Prayer

If i was able to sing atall i´d love to sing Black is the colour by christy moore

Or maybe a something more lively like Float on by Modest Mouse:D
