I have zero musical ability, can't carry a tune with a handle. I am going to have to sing one karoake song soon and am trying to pick something that is short, and easy to sing. Of course it should also be very popular so I can be assured it will be on their list. I am thinking of making this a comedy thing and singing a parody version of something.

"Don't. Stop. Believin'."

Steve Miller -- The Joker.

 

Parody? You've got it right there, baby.

 

Dude.

 

Some people call me the space cowboy, yeah

Some call me the gangster of love

Some people call me Maurice

Cause I speak of the pompitous of love

 

People talk about me, baby

Say I'm doin' you wrong, doin' you wrong

Well, don't you worry baby

Don't worry

Cause I'm right here, right here, right here, right here at home

 

Cause I'm a picker

I'm a grinner

I'm a lover

And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun

 

I'm a joker

I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker

I sure don't want to hurt no one

 

I'm a picker

I'm a grinner

I'm a lover

And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun

 

I'm a joker

I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker

I get my lovin' on the run

Wooo Wooooo

 

You're the cutest thing

That I ever did see

I really love your peaches

Want to shake your tree

Lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey, lovey-dovey all the time

Ooo-eee baby, I'll sure show you a good time

 

Cause I'm a picker

I'm a grinner

I'm a lover

And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun

 

I'm a joker

I'm a smoker

I'm a midnight toker

I get my lovin' on the run

 

I'm a picker

I'm a grinner

I'm a lover

And I'm a sinner

I play my music in the sun

 

I'm a joker

I sure don't want to hurt no one

 

Wooo Woooo

 

People keep talking about me baby

They say I'm doin' you wrong

Well don't you worry, don't worry, no don't worry mama

Cause I'm right here at home

"I'm a Little Tea Pot"

Oh man that would be golden. I can't sing to save my life so I think I'd choose I'm a little teapot because it would get a ton of laughs

'walk on the wild side' by Lou Reed is pretty easy.

'walk on the wild side' by Lou Reed is pretty easy.

 

I like that idea also. In a nutshell, my chances are

 

Dream: Tom Cruise like performance from Top Gun

Reality: Rosanne Barr singing the National Anthem

 

I was also thinking Ghost riders in the Sky

Only way I have enough balls to sing karaoke is if FUBAR on Jack or Captain. Barring that there's no way you'll get me near the stage.

Just act like Shatner does when he covers a song.

 

(Or sing Ooh La La by The Faces)

We had a work function 3 weeks back when my boss departed. We ended eating dinner at a Vietnamese Restaraunt. And Karoake is absolutely HUGE in Vietnam. So needless to say, there was a Karaoke Stage, and we all belted out a few tunes.

 

Unfortunately all the music was from the 60's and 70's, so there were only songs like New York, New York and some Bob Marley song that went for about 8 minutes.

Avoid any with high notes, that's where people get into trouble......or put a clothespin on your nose and do Dylan.

"I'm too Sexy" is always a crowd favorite...

^ WINNER, popular, funny and no high notes.

You could always pick a song that the crowd will sing for you like Sweet Caroline or Piano Man.

"house of the rising sun" is good, it's slow, short, and you can get away with not singing very much

 

if you want to be bold try "Brandy" by the Looking Glass, always a huge hit

I've got one to top them all.
