So I am not a karaoke guy. But, I have sung some karaoke in my day. My song has always been Rhinestone Cowboy. Something about that song. From Nampa Idaho to Destin Florida my Rhinestone Cowboy rendition may or may not have been performed to appreciative audiences

So for fun, if you had to rock it, what would you sing?

The Killers "Mr. Brightside". Too bad I can's sing for shit

I've always threatened to get on the mic if they had Love Shack or Superstar but I have a feeling I'd end up at You're the One That I Want. I've never done it though.

Only time I ever did karaoke was at a bar mitzvah I was called up with another guy and our wives to sing "I've got you babe" to them. I'd had just enough beers to loosen up and killed it for the most part. An attempt to humiliate turned in to a moment to shine.

Rhinestone Cowboy

I had a little plastic suitcase record player back in the 70's with this record. I would play it over and over and over again. Any time I hear this song it just brings back to being so young. No karoke songs for me, I'm a horrible singer

Me and a buddy do Poncho and Lefty on occasion. Chicks dig it.

I try not to get caught singing in front of others -- my singing is crap.

But a bunch of years ago, I got signed up to sing at a karaoke event in Germany. (I'd gone to "let the beer out," and learned when I got back that it was my turn.)

Short version: our server, Mario, chimed in and helped us out and I won 20 marks -- enough for another pitcher of beer -- singing Love Shack.

Steely Dan My Old School makes me try.

There’s not enough liquor in a bar to get me to sing karaoke or at least my body couldn’t handle that much liquor and be capable of even speaking let alone singing. That said, my karaoke song would probably look like the opening scene from office space. I would be singing gangsta rap, No Tears from Scarface… because I’m drunk.

If I were to try it, my song would be Steely Dan's "Deacon Blues".
"Learned to work the saxophone,
and I play just what I feel..."

Gimme three steps

My son and I have effectively sung karaoke more than once performing in our former church’s talent shows dressed as The Blues Brothers and singing “Soul Man.” (The church in question is not our “former church” based on those performances…I think haha…) We used a karaoke track CD for this and a few other songs.

That said - I really want to try “Wrap it Up” by The Fabulous Thunderbirds - I can sing the heck out of that song, at least while I’m in traffic alone in my vehicle haha…

Me and my son a few years back during a Blues Brothers thing…

Tainted Love, only because I heard someone do a Karaoke version of it in- of all places- the Bull and Finch Pub in Boston, in the early 1990s. It was horrible, truly, and I am on a crusade to right this wrong.

Whip It -- Devo

(can't really screw that one up too bad)

LOL!!! When I went home on leave when I turned 21 (early '95) I went there. I had been there before, I guess I just hoped being of age and getting in legally would actually make it better. It did not.

Ended up going over to the 21St Amendment and drinking with the girls football team. They had quite the quarterback.

Smugglers Blues by the Eagles.

I was gonna Rick-Roll y'all, but thought better of it...it's the Christmas season.

Anyway......years ago during the rage of Alan Jackson (when it was REAL country music), I did a Karaoke of "Don't Rock the Jukebox" at a local popular bar on Richmond Ave. here in Houston. The place erupted. Still not sure if they were cheering me on or glad I was done.

Be My Lover, Alice Cooper.

My wife loves karaoke. We have a system in our basement bar for parties. I can't sing worth a shit but I do a mean B52s Love Shack with her when I've had enough to drink.

It's always a lot of laughs. For some reason when I put on my best gay voice I sound just like the guy from the band. Since he talks more than sings it suits me.

Alabama's "Song of the South".

Been a while though.
