Too cool for karaoke

    Are you too cool for it?

    As cheesy and tacky as it is, if pressured, I'll sing the typical Dolly Parton, "Jolene" or "9 to 5". I'm not a great singer but I can carry those songs alright enough for fun!

    Once on a sun holiday, my OH put himself up for karaoke to sing 'Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zepplin. He's not a great singer but just for fun. There's a seriously long instrumental part in that song, awkward for karaoke. While that was going on, my OH, sat back, lit a cigarette and then went up to the bar and had a shot and then returned to finish the song....just on time! Even though, he's not the best singer, it was kind of cool, the way he did it
    It worked with the song :) :pac:

    Some men hunt for sport,
    Others hunt for food,
    The only thing I'm hunting for,
    Is an outfit that looks good...

    See my vest, see my vest,
    Made from real gorilla chest,
    Feel this sweater, there's no better,
    Than authentic Irish setter.

    See this hat, 'twas my cat,
    My evening wear - vampire bat,
    These white slippers are albino
    African endangered rhino.

    Grizzly bear underwear,
    Turtles' necks, I've got my share,
    Beret of poodle, on my noodle
    It shall rest,

    Try my red robin suit,
    It comes one breast or two,
    See my vest, see my vest,
    See my vest.

    Like my loafers? Former gophers -
    It was that or skin my chauffeurs,
    But a greyhound fur tuxedo
    Would be best,

    So let's prepare these dogs,
    Mrs. Potts: Kill two for matching clogs,
    Burns: See my vest, see my vest,
    Oh please, won't you see my vest

    "Something happened on the way to heaven" by Phil Collins is my go to Karaoke effort that will clear any bar quicker than an after hour Garda raid. "I'm Sooooorrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"

    Wouldn't myself, but respect to those with the confidence to get up and do it regardless if they're good or not.

    Haven't a note in my head but if I've some Dutch courage I'd get up for a bit of craic!

    I like singing really loudly and I rap like a Bad Bitch™ but don't think I'd ever do karaoke.

    I own a wii and the wii sing games. There's something to be said for belting out a tune when you're drunk. My voice is a match for John Denver, Country Roads. Perfect according to my score. Poor auld John :(

    We tried rounding up everyone in a Karaoke bar in the Philippines one night to blast out Bohemian Rhapsody but the Filipinos there were too cool for that!
