I'm a little bit naked, but that's okay: new clothes thread

Man, I'd be so fuckin' psyched to find some Refreshments at Karaoke.

Pretty much every karaoke place ever has "Banditos" at least.

[fishjim]

the karaoke playlist. very soon we were drunk and everyone sang everything.

my picks:

- rapture (blondie)
- locomotive breath (jethro tull)
- no sleep till brooklyn (beastie boys)
- when the ship comes in (bob dylan)

it was all awesome. dylan was especially satisfying to shout.

I played rapture for my dj set last week! great song.

omg biggins! no diggity! I bet it was so sweet! I can't wait til next wednesday so I can do karaoke again.

[mixed cats]

I sing Weird Al songs, because I'm drunk.

[mixed cats]

bruce springsteen. you won't regret it. when i can't hit a note at karaoke i always go into kermit the frog voice. works every time. 

Also use the Kermit voice on the Johnny Cash version of Hurt.

[G.C.R]

I always sing Lil Wayne's Lollipop and its terrible
Then I always sing Psycho Killer and its completely fuckin awesome

[YojimboMonkey]

I feel like I probably need to branch out my karaoke stylings but my 2 go-to songs are The Lion Sleeps Tonight and White Rabbit.

[Antero]

My Karaoke Song is usually David Bowie's "Young Americans."

In Korea, you would be talking about your "number 18" here. I once lost my voice for 2 days after an over-enthusiastic attempt at Smells Like Teen Spirit in a Noraebang in Korea. I have a horrible singing voice sadly, so I've pretty much retired from public performance.

You must have killed it! Nirvana is a great karaoke choice cuz everyone will sing along! My friend and I did "fist city" by Loretta Lynn last night and it was a crowd pleaser, we acted out all the hair pulling and taking out of trash. And to keep things OT I wore a really cool red dress with a wooden safari animal necklace my mom had in the 80's.

i'm terrible at picking out songs for myself, so i usually tell my friends that i'll sing anything they'll sign me up for, then chug beers until it's true.

last time i went out my friend signed me up for psycho killer. which is the sort of song you can't half ass, so i just belted it out as best i could and i think it was actually in key besides me stumbling on the french.

later she signed me up for "rollin rollin" by limp bizkit. the kj told me i'm not allowed to cuss (wtf...it's a 21+ bar full of grown ass people), so naturally i screamed every bad word at the top of my lungs. they cut me off about half way through. then i was subtly thrown out by the waiter bringing me my tab. good times.

[Good Intentions]

There's internet video of me karaokeing to Ace of Spades, Iron Man, and maybe one or two other songs.

[jebreject]

You say this, but you don't provide a link

[Good Intentions]

It's on my Facebook profile.

[cold before sunrise]

well, that excludes me! although why 'good intentions' hates me remains a mystery.

[T]hen i was subtly thrown out by the waiter bringing me my tab. good times.

Do other people refer to this as "The gentleman's bounce."

[clare]

That's a good name for it. We got the even subtler version at the Three Counties, or wahtever that bar is called, where we looked up at some point to find that the staff had packed up the entire bar around us without us noticing, and were standing against the bar watching us. There were 3 of us, and we were getting pretty animated I think..

ODE TO MY KENNETH COLE SKIRT

You were cheap at Goodwill
you have pockets
you make me feel like A Lady Of Purpose
you are doing a lot better than my blouse, which I spilled like half a glass of iced coffee on

[fishjim]

Love it!

NNY, I think you'd dig this song of Tom Brosseau's, "Plain Lined Jacket", off Grand Forks (2007), a favorite guy-with-an-acoustic-guitar album of mine. It's the song that introduced me to Brosseau - track #7.
