Karaoke Forums

I assume that most of us like to sing from time to time, whether at your own show or someone else's..

Obviously the songs I choose to sing are those I like and/or feel I can do a decent job with.

So, my question is... What songs do you like to sing? How about your top 5 favorites?

I'll kick it off with:

Dwight Yoakam - I Sang Dixie
Ed Bruce - My First Taste Of Texas
Merle Haggard - That's The Way Love Goes
Boxcar Willie - Girl On The Billboard
Coasters - Searchin'

Those are my top 5 for this week... No doubt next week it would be a completely different list.

Next??

My go-to songs have recently been something like:

My top songs that people ask me to sing are a parody of the "c is for cookie" song where I change the words to "b is for boobies" and adlib the middle naration part - and "Hang on Sloopy" by the mccoy's. I also used to sing, Amanda by Boston, I just called to say I love you by Stevie Wonder, and Amanda by don williams but I don't sing those anymore because the girl I sang them for won't talk to me anymore.. Altho I suppose I could change the lyrics to the don williams song to

"Amanda, bane of my life. Why did fate make you a (@$%&#!) teasing wife" *shrug*

Other than that, i don't really have any favorite songs. My favorite style is pretty much anything from the 60's including a boatload of stuff that I wish I could sing, but never made it to karaoke.

Big Balls - ACDC
Stray Cat Strut - Brian Seltzer Orchestra
Remember When - Alan Jackson
Grundy County Auction - John Michael Montgomery
Wild, Wild, West - Escape Club

all of them are fun to do. and usually will get the dancers up. except for big balls usually surprised faces by the younger kids that have never heard it.

It's all good!

Ain't Too Proud to Beg - Temptations
Stray Cat Strut - Stray Cats
By the Way - Red Hot Chili Peppers
Piano Man - Billy Joel
Let's Stay Together - Al Green

These are the ones I whip out when the energy starts getting a little low in the room, and they typically bring it right back up!

I don't know if I have a top five, because I am always trying new things, but if I had to choose five, I'd probably pick :

Bring Me To Life by Evanescence
Tell It To My Heart by Taylor Dayne
Crazy on You by Heart
I'm Looking for a New Love by Jody Watley
Orange Colored Sky by Natalie Cole

Funny thing is, I probably haven't done more than 2 of these songs in the last six months.

It really depends on the place, but:

"Angel," Shaggy
"It's the End of the World as We Know It," REM
"Rapper's Delight," Sugarhill Gang
"Bad Things," Jace Everett
