Karaoke Scene's Karaoke Forums :: What is the most you have spent for a single karaoke track?

My partner woke up with a song in their head: The Flys "Got You Were I Want You". After doing a quick search, I told them we didn't have the track, and that I would try to find it.

After looking on all the legal sites for a downloadable version that I know of, it seems it's only available on CD's from Sound Choice, Ameri-Sing, and a code I don't know (POHT9812? Pop Hits maybe?)

Off to eBay, and a few clicks later I bought the CD, but I paid a pretty penny for it, and of course, it was the ONLY song I needed on the entire CD. The cost: $16.00.

$16.00, for one song, crazy! Normally, I wouldn't spend so much for single song, but it's the person I wake up with every day, so... worth it!

But it made me wonder, what is the most expensive track that my fellow karaoke folks hunted and paid for?

Just FYI, that song appears on 4 production discs, so you might not have to pay that much:

AMS1056-06
POHT9812-09
SC2102-08
SC8490-07

A quick search, someone is selling the AMS1056 disc on EBay for $5.99.

A couple of years ago, I paid $35 to acquire Dog And Butterfly by Heart for a friend who is a big fan. It was the only song on the disc that I needed because I already had the rest, and it was the only disc I could find at the time, so I paid what I had to pay. It was for a special occasion.

Well, call me a sucker or call me stupid, but I have all of you beat. I paid $75 back in 2010 (to one of the members right here on K-Scene) to make me a custom track... "Back When My Hair Was Short" by Gun Hill Road.

That's the price we pay for what
we want. 75.00 a pop you say, at that rate I'm in
the hole for about 1500 to 2000!

Actually the price varied. If I had wanted a longer song, it would have cost more. For example, this guy was asking $150 for Frank Zappa's "Ti**ies and Beer." I passed on that one.

The most I've ever paid for any track is $5 dollars. On an SC custom disc, 10 song minimum @ 5 bucks each. (but I bought 10 of them at a time)

PHT is Pop Hits Today, not Pop Hits Monthly.

PHOT9812 is Pop Hits Today. The Amerising track is the same exact track.

$50 USD to get the Sing King disc from Canada with "Star Baby" right after it was first issued. It was for a very special person. Y'know I was looking at the invoice several years later reviewing old paperwork and realized they'd done the currency conversion backwards! It should only have been about $35 USD at the time -- all you can do is laugh sometimes. For the person I was getting it for it was still worth it.

That's a good disc (if you are talking 8346), at least 10 songs get done fairly regular here.

That's the price we pay for what we want. 75.00 a pop you say, at that rate I'm in the hole for about 1500 to 2000! i wish one of powers that be, could release a compilation of the lesser known, or never released songs, that are listed in the song request forums. But, One Can Only Wish!

I would have broke down, and cried all over those, uh I mean that! heh heh, Guess I'll have to double down and dig deeper! I like to sing a few of the longer ballad type songs.
