Have you ever performed in a karaoke bar?

[NurseJackie]

If so, what song do you like to perform? (Or what song did you perform?)

I think this is about my speed.

1. I like to sing alternate lyrics to certain songs

[ret5hd]

4. My favorite "alternate lyrics":

[Skittles]

2. I've never been IN a karaoke bar

nope

[ret5hd]

3. Well yeah. Once. But nobody paid attention because some guy was up on stage singing or something.

[NurseJackie]

29. I sing along too! Sometimes loud enough to be heard at our table...

... but I'm not likely to ever pick up a microphone and belt one out.

[Rorey]

5. That's hilarious!

Tequila!

Hey, everyone seems to be having a great time, except maybe Andy, so isn't that all that matters?

[Rorey]

6. Exuberance and Excitement

Yeah. Ok.

[Mersky]

7. Might be the one place I keep my mouth shut.

Can’t sing. Won’t sing. Nobody wants to hear that, including me. I’m fine with this.

[Backseat Driver]

8. Does a corporate christmas party count as a "lounge"???

[NurseJackie]

24. For the purpose of this discussion... I'd say yes. It's in public...

For the purpose of this discussion... I'd say yes. It's in public (even if among colleagues) so that does require some nerve or talent.

[ret5hd]

9. Andy Kaufman did the concept better:

[Harker]

21. Maybe... but who's this guy? n/t

[happybird]

10. The only time I ever drank at work was on karaoke nights

The other bartender and I had to drink in order to preserve our sanity.

[2naSalit]

11. Only because karaoke came

to our bar in the tiny town I lived in. We were having a Hallowe'en party and the bar owner hired some guy to come and do a karaoke show thing. It was lots of fun because we were all involved in groups and being really silly. Otherwise, I'll pass.

[NurseJackie]

37. Yeah... only for laughs. I totally get it.

Although I've seen some very talented singers who take it very seriously.

Oddly enough, even the talentless hacks are fun (even if it makes me wince and grimace) as long as I can see that they're having a good time and giving it their best shot.

[flotsam]

12. Are you kidding?

My singing is so bad I play guitar in the shower instead!

[Cirque du So-What]

13. Acoustic or electric?

[flotsam]

16. Both

but electric just that one time...

[NurseJackie]

25. ...

[crazytown]

14. I sang 'Your so Vain' with my wife

to an audience that included her ex.

[NurseJackie]

26. Awesome!

That's a good one!

[Backseat Driver]

46. See #8 - I did that one too!

But you've got me beat for sure; hope you both sang boldly!

[crazytown]

15. You could have a go at this :)

[mr_lebowski]

19. Never should anybody ever do that song in karaoke ...

That song is beyond the capabilities of mortal beings ...

[mr_lebowski]

17. Yes ... many, many times ...

My favorites are probably Prince - Kiss (yeah, I can do that falsetto) and INXS - Need You Tonight (much more my natural range) ... but I've done at least a couple dozen other songs, alone and with friends or my ex-wife.

I can rock the hizzy ...

[NurseJackie]

27. I like Prince.

Kiss is a great song. I think I might be able to do that one.

[customerserviceguy]

18. Yep

And I do a killer Elvis.

[Turbineguy]

20. I gargled

this:

[NurseJackie]

43. Great adjective... very interesting way to describe it...

... I think I've been there too (but only at home or while driving.)

[Aristus]

22. Yes. "The Rainbow Connection".

In the voices of all the Muppets...

[NurseJackie]

28. I love that!

💗🤍❤

[3catwoman3]

42. During one of your Friday night wine...

...buzzes, or when sober?

More power to you if the latter.

[Aristus]

45. Both...

It's easier to do it sober. Switching from Muppet voice to Muppet voice can be tricky...

[JCMach1]

23. On the net too, Cat's Meow on Bourbon Street

But enjoy it in general. We have a machine at home.

[Wounded Bear]

30. Yes, and though saying I was "pretty good" might be a stretch. Dylan fan here...

I'd usually warm up with a short one, though:

Never cared much for any of the covers.

[NurseJackie]

31. I would have enjoyed hearing you!

[Wounded Bear]

32. Thank you! You're too kind...

[pnwest]

33. My fave to sing is "No Rain" by Blind Melon.

Others are “Miss Chatelaine” KD Lang, “Wonder” Natalie Merchant, “Dreams” Stevie Nicks, “Empty Arms” Stevie Ray Vaughan.

[NurseJackie]

34. How wonderful! I like Miss Chatelaine and Dreams...

... I have never heard them performed as karaoke before. I'll have to check the songbook list and maybe get one of my brave girlfriends to try.

[nevergiveup]

35. No....but you could pay me enough.

[NurseJackie]

36. Good answer! 👍 ⭐

I also have a reasonable price to publicly "humiliate" myself. I'm not above having my friends laugh at me (and with me) for some nachos, poppers, onion-rings, and few free drinks and ride home.

[Wawannabe]

38. Often

Janis Joplin - Mercedes Benz.
Nirvana - Where did you sleep last night?
Pat Benetar - Hit me with your best shot.
Amy Winehouse - Rehab

Among others...

On edit: First time I ever sang karaoke was after moving to WA. Double shot of Tequila gets you loose enough to give it a go!

[NurseJackie]

41. I'll bet you're great! Esp singing Pat Benetar!

[kacekwl]

39. Friends in low places.

Garth Brooks. And no not well.

[NurseJackie]

40. You don't have to be able to sing that one well... it's a SINGALONG!

Just get the rest of the room singing with you and nobody will know whether you sing well or not.

🍺🍻

[kacekwl]

44. Exactly.

That's why I choose it.

[backtoblue]

47. I rapped Guess Who's Back...

In a tiny bar, Hot Springs Arkansas.

Put my hoodie up and this lil girl wailed some Eminem at 2am....and who knows how many shots of tequila
