Tonight I sang:
I played Chicken with the train - Cowboy Troy
Best of You - Foo Fighters
BYOB - System of a Down

I like singing off of new cd's

Hey Susie!  I'll bite - I had a few spare minutes, crawled through the thread and this is what I found that I have heard before:

You took the words Right out of my mouth - Meatloaf
Me and Julio Down By the school yard - Paul Simon
Safety Dance - Men Without Hats (this is one I sing)
Breakup Song - Greg Kihn Band (this is one I sing)
Breakin' the Law, Turbo Lover - Judas Priest
When I'm 64 - Beatles
Everybody Love Somebody - Blues brothers (this is one my 11 year old son sings!)
Henry VIII - Herman's Hermits (this is one my 11 year old son sings!)

The Pussycat Song
Masochism Tango - Tom Lehrer (this is one I sing)
"Gimme Shelter" - Rolling Stones
What I Am - Edie Brickell & the New Bohemians (I've heard this ONCE)
Iris - Goo Goo Dolls (this is one I sing - badly I must add)
Bridge Over Troubled Water - Simon & Garfunkel
The Impossible Dream - Various, From The Man From La Mancha (I've heard this ONCE)

Anyway - those are the ones I've heard done before and noted if it was only once, that would make them pretty rare in my book.

"Gimme Shelter" is one I've subbed to the Showcase... truly one I've made my own!

OMG, there is actually a CD-G with Tom Lehrer songs on them? Where in the world did you find it? I have 3 CD of his and when I need a good laugh I play them. They are definitely on my iPod as well. Thanks in advance for the information.

Yup, and as far as I can tell, they are the ONLY Tom Leher songs out there, and I think that is a shame.

I'd love to have But I Love Her (my utter favorite of his), The Elements and Be Prepared.

Tom Leher fact -- Tom ONLY did comedy to pay his way through Harvard.  Once done he pursued a far more mundane life despite his "Weird Al Yankovic" abilites of the 1960's.  He eludes to his studies at Harvard in his song, The Elements, which I believe is now out of date as new man made elements have been added in the last 40 years.

 I do a few totally off the wall songs... being a host I do lots of songs of all different genres..... but I  really like funny quirky songs... and songs no one else does and/or some songs no one has even heard of!

Never wear panties to a party
Every man I love is either married gay or dead
You're the reason our kids are ugly (duet)
Obsession (duet) gotta love the 80's
Nothing from A Chorus Line
Otto Titsling--Bette Midler
I play chicken with the Train
When you're good to Mama-Chicago
Coco Jamboo
Bidi Bidi bom bom
Macarena (duet)

Those are some fun ones not many people perform or even know..  : )

I can now add:

Insane In The Brain - Cypress Hill

What a fun song - although I change the "N" word to an "H" word which means the same as the "N' word when said by someone who is....oh never mind.

I could never do the Elements or the New Math, way too fast for me. However, Masochism Tango, just my tempo, key and state of mind. Also, being a Catholic, Vatican Rag is a theme song for my friends and I.

As for Tom lehrer, he has taught for many years at College of San Mateo, near where I live. A friend of mine gave him a call on his birthday (many years back) and had a talk with him for a couple of hours at his office. How cool is that? As far as I know, he only has 3 CDs out. Anyone know of any more?

I will check out the Sound Choice CD-G. Thanks for the suggestion.

One more song to add to this thread: Edelweiss from the sound of music. It has sentimental value to me. When I was very young, like 4 or 5, my aunt taught me how to sing that song. It was one of the first "adult" songs I have learned. I still try to sing it when I can, still remember every words to that song.

Also I enjoy the occassional comedy song.....here's a selection of a few I'll do when we have an adult night!

Bob And Tom band - Cameltoe, Great Day To Kick Someone's @ss, Everbody's p!ssed at me, the F U song

First let me say, this is a great topic.

That's easy--- Basically my WHOLE repertoir. It seems as though no one wants to attempt to sing Classical or Non-English songs very often, and that to me is just an invitation to try to do the impossible!

This, of course, could be fodder for a new thread: "What songs do you sing that NOBODY ELSE EVER LISTENS TO???"    :reddevil:

I just came in for a quick visit and this topic got my attention.
Songs I sing that I've NEVER heard anyone do:
1. He ain't heavy he's my brother......Hollies ( I'm always asked to do that song now)
2. Daddy don't you walk so fast.......Wayne Newton ( Lots of tears with that one)
3. Piano Man.......Billy Joel ( Won a contest with that one)
4. Hold on to the Night.........Richard Marx ( try hitting those notes..everything crossed...ouch!!)
 There's others, but those are the ones that came to mind right away.

  Great topic.....very interesting,
