QotD: The Audience Goes Wild
What's your favorite song to sing karaoke-style? If you don't have one, why not?
You know I've been singing at any given opportunity for quite some time now - although I haven't hogged a karaoke microphone for over a year - I'm still happy to discuss my song choices.
When I first sung Karaoke, it was with a couple of friends and we covered Neil Sedaka's Calendar Girls. We were so good (and I loved it so much) the next few times we went to that bar we sang it again. Eventually I got brave enough to try on my own (and my partners-in-crime got annoyed because I sing so loud no one could hear them so refused to let me sing with them anymore) and sang Hey Big Spender - which I did very well (complete with boob shaking fantasticness) and with great hilarity (nothing to do with the boob shaking) from the audience.
After my grandmother's funeral, we all went down to the T&C Club in Waitara to cheer ourselves - and more importantly, my grandfather - with a few songs. That's where I discovered Connie Frances' Crazy. Another good one is Queen's Crazy Little Thing Called Love, and King of the Road.
I don't mind that most people think karaoke is naff - I think being able to belt out a song is one of the most fun things to do. It's so hard to find places where I can sing a whole song at the top of my lungs outside church (they wouldn't let me join the church choir those big meanies)
If you're ever in the mood and fancy a good sing-a-long, come grab me and we can sing King of the Road together - we'll have a great time!
