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 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.

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!

That depends on where I am. My Friday night show is a bit of a more mellow crowd.
For them my top five are
1. Is This Love - Whitesnake
2. Bed Of Roses - Bon Jovi
3. Scenes From An Italian Restaurant - Billy Joel
4. Ain't That a Kick in the Head - Dean Martin
5. Going To California - Led-Zeppelin

Now when I do my Saturday fill-in, or just go to hang out:

Turbo Lover - Judas Priest
No More Tears - Ozzy
War Pigs - Black Sabbath (Found the best version I have ever heard from Karaoke Version)
Bed Of Roses - Bon Jovi (Everyone likes that song. )
Rooster - Alice In Chains

I sing a ton of other songs, besides those.

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.
