Title: Your Favourite Karaoke Song ?
Post by: valleyboy on August 14, 2011, 11:19:43 AM
When occasionally "socially confused", I have been known to venture onto the Karaoke stage.The numbers I usually "plump" for are;

Losing my Religion - REM (because I like it)
Born to be Wild - Steppenwolf (because I'm an old rocker !)
Hey Jude - Beatles (because the "outro" gets everybody singing )

Do you partake ? - And what's your favourites ?  8)

Only once have I been socially confused enough to sing with two others in Karaoke.I had been quite tired one night so had a red bull followed by Mateus Rose..(several) and was tempted to do my rendition of Tina Turner ..Simply the best.

Listening to Karaoke  I love to hear
Losing my Religion - REM
Angel - Robbie Williams
Kingston Town - ???

I find Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" and Celine Dion's "My heart will go on" are the two karaoke songs that remind me that I am definitely in the wrong bar.

I have a strategy when singing karaoke (I am awful at singing) - I go for a song that I know everyone will join in with and drown me out.

Living on a prayer - Bon Jovi.....

We could do a duet with Losing my Religion Heather :D - Kingston Town done by Lord Creator in 1970, but the one everybody remembers was covered in 1990 by UB40.

The Remer hotel has a decent karaoke set up in the garden bar, the drinks prices are reasonable and the snacks are very good. The karaoke is on most night from 9.30pm
