Help me pick a killer karaoke track

FreshKnickers

Right I'm losing my karaoke virginity in a couple of weeks and not sure what song will best secure my triumphant and, let's face it, glorious, victory.

I'm taking suggestions, from Pavarotti classics to Jedward smashers. Mash-ups will be considered, but probably rejected and I have already ruled out instrumentals as unsuitable for karaoke.

Cheers.

Last time I did karaoke I belted out '20th Century Boy' by T.Rex. I can't sing but was told I had a nice growl! :pac:
'Rocks' by Primal Scream is another good one 'cause pretty much anyone can sing it.

If I'd a stronger voice though I'd love to do this one:

Never really did much Karaoke as whenever I sing I usually have my guitar, but Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me seemed to go well last time I did it. Also did Amy Winehouse's Back to Black.

What type of stuff do you normally sing along to OP?

CrinkElite

A crowd pleaser.

"Killer" you say?

Really depends on the crowd, OP. So many choices.

Billy Joel; Piano Man,

Fun; We Are Young,

Dire Straits; Money For Nothing,

If there's a group of ye, or if you can harmonize with yourself, Kansas; Carry On Wayward Son,

There's a vast range of Eagles songs to choose from, although they might be a bit long-winded if you're not playing an instrument.

I'm pretty sure it'd go down like a lead balloon at most karaoke things, but I'd lose my sh*t if someone did Will Smith's Will 2K. I don't know why, maybe because it's an awesome song, maybe because it's one of the last things I'd expect to hear someone perform. It'd be cool though.

Stevie Wonder; Superstition,

The only thing I can say is this, you're better off picking something simple and doing it well than you are picking something harder and making a balls of it.

Also, sorry for all the videos. I got a bit carried away.

little black submarines. . .if you can pull it off!

Straight up gangsta rap.

Lol, no. My own taste in music sucks, that's why I wanted to throw it open to the collective brainpower of After Hours.

stefan idiot jones

The best karaoke song I ever witnessed being sung was 'My Way'.

Not ole blue eyes but the Sid Vicious version.

Balmed Out

Im too sexy, Right said Fred.

You need to strip too though to do the song justice.

If I ever do karaoke it will be this track:

You can't go wrong.....and it has words (sort of!). :P

Fratton Fred

Lock all the doors and sing "The rains of Castamere" to freak everyone out.

Some more Billy Joel, if you're a bit more ambitious. Caution: may require sobriety:

My Way...............the Sid Vicious version, great excuse to drag people around. I did it once, luckily this was before you-tube and phone cameras. :cool:

Pumpkinseeds

You could go for the good old crowd pleasing power ballads like:

Bonnie Tyler - Total eclipse of the heart

Elkie Brookes - No more the fool

Carly Simon - Your so vain

If there's booze flowing the old classic hard done by woman songs usually get the women going. We can all relate to them:D

The Backwards Man

When I was a little bitty Mammy done rock me in my cradle

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r40beLTB7YY

YumCha

If you can pull it off there's nothing like a classic 80s rock ballad (note: I think he even puts Steven Tyler to shame)

Weevil

Don't know if anyone has suggested it yet, but "Get Lucky" performed in drag would be a real floor filler.
