A-ha - Take on me
every time
I went to a karaoke night one where there were actual talented singers. There was a lady who did this song, nailing all the high notes.
Her friend followed up with Beyonce - Love on top, and nailed every key change.
Not to be out done, one of their BF’s/Husbands followed that With Bill Withers - Lovely Day, and held all the notes…
My friends and I left. We did not know it was that type of party.
The first time I was at a bar that had karaoke, this dude went up and did ice ice baby. As soon as he starts, five buddies run up there and they all did THE dance, the entire way through, 100% on point. It was amazing.
That earns a pitcher for the table, for sure!
I’m playing the Doom theme and fighting my way to the exit as I am clearly in hell.
If you want one to bring the room to life, the answer is “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. It kills 100% of the time–everyone will sing along. You can’t help it.
I’m sorry, but could you tell me why?
I wish you’d just believe when I say…
Nah, Sweet Caroline is far more effective
BAH BAH BAH!!!
GOOD TIMES NEVER FELT SO GOOD
So good! So good!
Duality - slipknot
Probably a random Russian, Ukrainian or Italian song I know, because I like to sing in these languages.
And then promptly leave, before I get accused of attempted mass murder
Arch Enemy is great though! I like your style
Tequila 😎
“Check, please!”
The Champs - Tequila
Suffragette city
Whenever I’m in a rather Yee-Haw place, and bars are filled with folks wearing camo and baseball caps, my go-to is Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, it gets people riled up.
Later in the evening, once folks have had a few drinks in them, Take Me Home Country Roads is unquestionably the song to end with.
See also: Friends in Low Places. They played it at a AAA baseball game here and the whole place was chanting it lol.
It’s gonna depend on my mood.
Currently the mood is Ænima by Tool.
Train - Hey, Soul Sister
dancing in the moonlight
Even Flow by Pearl Jam. It’s a blast and always gets a laugh when you make it a little goofy. The only hard part is the ~one minute guitar solo. But that’s a great time to throw in a “What’s up (local city)!? Having a good night!?”
Also it’s fun to sort of shout “I know you know the words!” near the start because Eddie Vedder (the lead singer) is difficult to understand.
