What is your ideal karaoke song?

I rarely do the karaoke because I hate most of the songs available.

I always want to do I Wanna Be Your Dog, or School. Those woudl be fun.

When I do do the karaoke I do Springsteen - I'm On Fire
because it is sexy and disturbing...

"Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"

properly soaked in spirits i can pull a decent jim morrison imitation, so i'd go for something by the doors.

Talking Heads for me.

this one:

You may ask yourself, what is that beautiful house?
You may ask yourself, where does that highway lead to?
You may ask yourself, am I right, am I wrong?
You may say to yourself, my god, what have I done?

that was beautiful to listen to.

Karaoke is anathema to people who love and are serious about music. The whole thing smacks of a total piss-take.

If we are talking about Rock N Roll, FUCK being serious about it.

Karaoke is not great, but it is fun to sing songs while intoxicated.

It's cringeworthy hearing people who delude themselves into thinking they can sing murder great songs. I've had to endure it many times as some of my friends are seriously into karaoke.

i love a good old carrie-choke-me song
i got a friend who's got shitloads of karaoke cds
i love hitting up the PINK FLOYD disc and do
Dogs / Nobody Home / See Emily Play
or the PURPLE RAIN soundtrack
but it don't have Computer Blue on it, so wtf?

i've also been warned, but not phsyically thrown out of a kareoke bar before. but i'm one to fuck up all the words and beef shit up. you know, like right at that right spot. throw in a Motherfucker, or a B'yotch, or Nigga Please. i've gotten in shit once for singing You Can Call Me Al by Paul Simon. now, i know i had quite a bit to drink and i was on a roll. not like anyone was there, but it was a rather good "tourettes" version of the song. and besides, it's a bar. people are shitfaced and carry-me-choke-me is a good way to not only embarass yourself, but also to really knock one out of the park. i can do a really kick ass version of Champagne Supernova.

but karaoke at my friends house is way more fucking fun then the bar!
not to mention they like all sorts of insane shit
