Would you do Karaoke?

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Not your crazy western way of karaoke. But the way of Samurai karaoke? Hai!

I've been known to do a terrible, terrible duet version of Bob Marley. With a Pakistani architect.

Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights has also been,er, re-interpreted aswell.

 

[Ned]

Where's the option Yes but the room empties sharpish.


I do Karaoke for my own pleasure (it satisfies my sadistic streak) and sound like a male Edith from 'alo alo'

 

[robbied69]

I love Karaoke. With me, I'm always nervous after the first song, but after that I'll always go up again and again.

My fav songs: Stand By Me.

 

[Da Man Clay]

Only drunk and for a bet. I ruined Basket Case for most of the people in the pub.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Yes, although I don't have the voice of an angel.

Come Together is my speciality. I have also been known to partake in Karaoke abroad and tried some Spanish and Butch songs before. Bit challenging. Love it though. Not very good but keen performer.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Moon River is my speciality.

Fantastic song....

...wider than a mile,
I'm crossing you in style, some day....

 

[Dave the OAP]

is the pope a nazi?

What a wonderful night for a moondance.........

 

[Man of Harveys]

Gold, by Spandau Ballet. And Delilah. Often. Never been praised for my ability to leave an audience wanting more, put it that way.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

"Wild Thing" - easy when you're pissed

 

[Pevenseagull]

Everybody's Talkin' - Nillson
&
Wichita Lineman - Glen Campbell

have been ruthlessly butchered on a number of occassions


love it

 

[Dave the OAP]

...anything by Elton John and also John Lennon...right in my range

I also have been known to do a bloody good attempt at Crying game by Chris Isaac and Lovely day by Bill Withers as i can hit the high not bang on! ( something to do with singing Tenor I think ...LOL)

 

[Porky]

Would you do Karaoke? and what song would you sing?

YES if she was attractive enough. But I couldn't sing while I was doing it.

 

[Shizuoka Dolphin]

Ahhhh......Karaoke.

One of my favourite pastimes. Tokyo was superb for karaoke, especially when you get into one of the karaoke joints that do all you can drink for a 1000 yen per hour per person. A three-four hour session was superb fun especially after a beer and sake session at a Yakitori restaurant.

Alice Cooper - House of Fire
Bon Jovi - Livin' on a Prayer
Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child o' Mine
Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me)
Animals - House of the Rising Sun.

Whilst in Tokyo a work colleague of mine could sing Tragedy by the Bee Gees and hit the high notes...

It's stuff like this that makes me never want to leave! Karaoke is brilliant fun over here. Last time I went they gave us a mic stand, so you could TOTALLY ham it up.

As for best hits, Total Eclipse of the Heart is a simply STUNNING karaoke song. But only if everyone is sufficiently HAMMERED.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

I sung Like a Virgin in Yates the other night

It wasn't even Karaoke night

 

[Dave the OAP]

donkeys years ago, we took the kids to one of those Centre parks type places near Eindhoven and one night there was a karioki evening.

Anyway, there was a really good system, with huge video screen etc etc and after about 10 people absolutely massacring Beatles songs ( they were truly awful)...anyway, there was about 300 people around the stage area and they politely clapped each person, not laughing at all...it was very surreal.

Anyway, i got up and asked to do candle in the wind.....started to sing and after about two bars, people started clapping ( It was bizzare)....then the dj bloke turned the lights down and people started holding their lighters up and swaying, people got up and were "slow dancing" I was amazed.I felt like some entertainer..anyway I finished and I got a tremendous clap and I thought I had entered a parrallell universe.

The next time I did it in Menorca everyone was pissed and we had a riot of a time.

Not difficult to get hammered with the bargain Nomihodai. Murdering classic songs in your personal room drinking all you can all night for about 15 quid, a bargain.

 

[Trufflehound]

I've got a voice like a angel. (sic)

Trouble is, it's the Angel of Death.

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Churlish not to really even though I can't really sing. Obviously have to be well tanked up. " Back in the USSR" by the Beatles and " Teenage kicks" by the Undertones personal favs.

 

[SK1NT]

Never ever done Karaoke and never will. Even when properly wasted in Ibiza i still had the common sense to say no. Infact im very proud of that

 

[Dr Q]

Did it with some mates at Royal Holloway Uni for a bet (singing "its not unusual"), and managed to get into the University Prospectus the following year, under the title "students enjoying a typical night out in the union" .... the shame
