KARAOKE SONG GUIDE

Discussion in 'Off Topic' started by AshesOfEden, Nov 6, 2014.

  1. Admit it... we all love Karaoke..

    We all want to be the Rock star or the Diva that belts out tunes to take a stadium down..

    .....

    ...and then we get drunk, forget about our capabilities and inhibitions and go all out in front of strangers..

    ..we make an absolute asses out of ourselves.. and we come back for more...




    But we've also been in the audience, enduring someone screeching the Bohemian Rhapsody for the whole 10 minutes..

    So.. This thread.. Is to act as a guide to cool songs you should karaoke.. and songs/types that you should (out of the respect of the crowd) try to avoid..

    I'll give a few examples etc but I really hope people would contribute and share their experiences and wisdom.. 




    Cool song: "Touch Me" by Samantha Fox..



    This is a high energy song that is full of good vibes and a crowd pleaser.. It doesn't hit the high notes ( OK, Samantha Fox moaning parts can be technically considered high notes I guess), it's short.. No long instrumental section...

    ...And you'll get laid fo sho!




    Bad songs: Anything that is long, has long instrumental sections, way too popular and sung many times (like Margaritaville)..





    Cool song: "Rock and Roll" by Led Zeppelin



    This is your best chance to get the Led out.. We all know Robert Plant's voice is a RocknRoll instrument in itself.. This song, due to it's structure, makes it more approachable for the tone def regular folks like us.. You can still wail it, and get the Led out, but you don't need to hit those super high notes..





    Bad songs: Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston..

    I know you're tempted to belt out "I will always love you".. But do you know what a key change from A Major to a B Major means?.. If you don't, let's not try that one..






    Cool Duet: "You're the one that I want" Olivia Newton John and John Travolta



    This Grease classic is pretty easy to sing along.. Fast energy and plenty of chemistry.. This will get the joint jumping..






    Bad Songs: Rap songs..

    OK.. Rapping is an art.. And you need to wire your briain for your mouth to give out a good rap.. Oh and a note to White guys.. Just cos ur singing eminem or vanilla ice or beastie boys songs, DOES NOT mean you can rap.. Those white dudes do.. 






    Cool songs: Any song by Journey..

    Journey songs are short.. Lots of lyrics riding major guitar riffs and driving rhythms.. And you don't have to go super high notes like Steve Perry and the song will still stay intact..






    Bad Songs:



    Please... Just... Don't..






    Edgy and Coolest Duet Song:



    "Wouldn't it be good?" The version by Danny Hutton Hitters (Pretty in Pink Soundtrack)

    Why is it one of the coolest edgy duet karaoke songs?.. We'll let's break it down..

    - The Lyrics are top notch modern angst.. You'll feel cathartic belting them out..
    - It's one of the rare songs where the Verse and Chorus can be overlapped (like "Row row row your boat", as demonstrated aptly in the soundtrack version)
    - You can build an edgy overlap where both singers can wail and complement each other..






    Bad Songs: Really Really Really sappy songs.. Think Celine Dion.. Why would you want to sing the #1 song of all time played at the wakes?..






    Good songs:



    Yess..






    Yesss...






    NOOOOO!!!!!!!
