I just submitted it tonight, "Minnie the Moocher". I simply love this version, done by the immortal Cab Calloway many years ago. I think it is right up there with "Sing, Sing, Sing" and "In the Mood" in evoking all the colors and shadings of another era.

isis usually does enter sandman wearing something pink and cute...it is very surreal and she kicks a$$ with it.
my favorites right now are since i fell for you, white rabbit and anything stevie nicks. my crowd pleasers are cabaret and....oh, i hate to admit this...brand new key. but the brand new key crowd does not come around as much any more.

My fav that I actually do is Mack The Knife. The ones I wish i could find on karaoke are Judas Priest - Victim of Changes and Megadeth Sweating Bullets.
I have to make do with Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction and Judas Priest - Green Manalishi.
I love to do the Megadeth tune because it is a side of me that I think I have learned to control but will never go away.
EDIT: Need to try some Krokus too.

If someone can tell me which disk it's on I might be able to talk someone into letting me get that. It may have some other goodies on it for me too.

The song I get asked to sing the most is, "You've Never Been This Far Before" by Conway Twitty. People always come up to me and make me feel their goosebumps afterwards  .
It is funny, I never even knew I could sing that song until a lady requested I sing it for her. She said she could hear Conway's voice in mine when I sang and thought it would be a good song for me to sing. The only problem is that now people try to get me to do other Conway Twitty songs and to be honest, I find it very difficult to sing a lot of his songs.

My big problem is that after I sing anything at all, it is such a release for me that I hide my face while I walk back to my seat. It doesn't matter if they loved it or hated, I'm just embarassed and can't face anyone for a minute or two afterwards. Sorry about getting off topic.
I get a lot of requests for Mack The Knife. The disk I bring is much more fun than the one on hand in Grand Prairie.
EDIT: It's true, even though some of my friends love the way I sing I am so embarrassed after singing I can't face anyone I don't know and even still a lot of the people I do know. Maybe I'm just a big baby.

I can't remember how many we can put up at once but I think it's three. So I will put up my fav three being: Symphony of destruction, Mack The Knife, and one of my favorite country tunes.
I will try to get at least two of those up this weekend.
Is there a max size to the files we can upload for this? Because I can get them down to about 3MB each without dropping them to mono.

Drea, how did you get so interested in metal and hard rock stuff? Just curious.
That's usually such a "guy" genre. I assume you've seen Spinal Tap!

Todays hard rock probably Don, yet there were a few females in the early 70's that played bass, drums, even guitar in rock bands covering what would be considered "Harder rock", some of the more wild girls even got into Sabbath, and Tull.... Vocalists were more widely seen occassionally getting into what *I* personally saw as somewhat "Tom Boyish" excessive either rowdy, or overly energetic stuff "for a young lady"... , Yet today, I'd imagine many more girls with the punk, goth, and grunge stuff behind them are also into the VERY hard rock... Look at Courtney Love, and a few others in Alternative, or Indie styles.... I consider it "Hard Rock".... Yet ever two weeks "Hard rock" encompasses yet a new form, and I'll tell you, a few of the absolute best free-from Blues & jazz musicians, are women....
I guess we can never understand what a woman will enter, and end up smoking we guys  .. Even using the toilet while standing up !

When my friends were listening to the Osmonds and David Cassidy, I was listening to Black Sabbath, Deep Purple and Hendrix. Don't get me wrong I like other types of music too...I do Stevie Nicks, but not the same old songs that I've seen/heard 8001 times...I've posted one that I had never seen before and am working on another rare one. Also one of my favorite metal bands of all times was Drain STH and they were all female...I just got the track for one of their songs and their guitars are every bit as heavy as Pantera. When I'm over at the showcase I start seeing the same songs being subbed over and over and right now it seems to be all really easy stuff - I was almost in a coma last night after listening...not that most of the songs weren't good, most were very good - but when one has tastes toward the heavier stuff, it kind of all starts to sound the same. There is a certain shock value in singing metal...I think thats what gets me most...for me to sing it, its kind of a novelty. A lot of the songs I do are ones I used to always request from bands...now I do them myself, just a little differently. Right now there are only a handful over there that sing this stuff and you can bet I jump on every one of them!!
Well keep up the good work with trail blazing into these not-so-common karaoke songs. People don't laugh at you. If I tried them it'd sound pretty hilarious! It takes a certain personality to pull those off. I do agree that alot of subs out there while good can be too common. I remember some 70's female rockers like Suzi Quatro and a group called The Runaways which had Joan Jett and Lita Ford, but I can't think of any real female metal bands.

Yeah there aren't too many Female metal bands. Other than Drain STH that toured with Ozzfest in '98 or '99. Lita Ford rocked pretty good, and there were some other metal bands that were pretty obscure that had female singers. It was in the 80's that I heard them...one was a death metal band and I'll be darned if I can think of the name. But I heard enough to be intrigued by it.
As for the laughing, when I'm testing out some of these songs, I'll just bust out laughing at times. I sang "Awake" by godsmack for quite awhile but could never take it serious. But I did "Re-Align" and it came out pretty good. Same with "Ace of Spades"...I tried that out at a party when I was ummmm fueled up on tequila. Laughed my a$$ off about half way through...A week later I recorded it and was pretty happy with it. Now I took a vocal remover to a song by the Misfits and it came out pretty good so that one will be going up early in the week I'm sure... . They are considered Punk though. Anyway I'm rambling all over the place here - I'm dangerous when I get tired .

Out of curiosity, I'll see if I can find some Drain STH on Yahoo Music Unlimited. Some types of metal seem too "scary" for me  . My brain doesn't like going into those dark corners. Death metal would be one of those. Maybe I'm just not getting the "big picture" here. LOL Maybe I'm just not a happenin' guy!

The funny thing with Drain STH is they played great metal music and the lyrics were kind of bleak, but they were drop dead gorgeous. Its such a contrast...ipretty wild!!
