If you were auditioning for American Idol,

[RevolutionaryActs]

What song would you sing?

I'm just curious. It doesn't matter if you like the show or not, but if you were going to audition for something like that (assuming you can/could sing) what song would you sing, keeping in mind it must be sung acappella. :)

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

1. Linda Ronstadt's "Blue Bayou"

My mom TOLD me I sang it really well! She thought I was really talented!

[PittPoliSci]

2. "When the Last Grave has Emptied" by the Black Dahlia Murder

WHEN THE LAST GRAVE HAS EMPTIED
WHEN THE LAST SHRED OF HOPE MELTS AWAY
AND ENDLESS SWARM OF DAMNATION
WILL SWALLOW THE REST OF HUMANITY
IN TO THE DARK

great song, simon would shit his pants if someone sang that.

[MrSlayer]

3. Slayer's "Necrophiliac"

I'm sure the dopes who judge would love that.

[RevolutionaryActs]

4. MrSlayer would sing a Slayer song?

:o

[DeposeTheBoyKing]

5. And you'd sing "Revolution"

[MrSlayer]

11. Shocking isn't it?

:P

[realisticphish]

13. and if you didnt make it, you could do an encore

of "I Hate You"

(several of us campaigned for that to be our class song my senior year, but for some reason no one bought into it :shrug:)

[MrSlayer]

21. Yeah.

Even though it's a cover it's much better Slayerized.

[barackmyworld]

6. I'd do an ashlee parody...

start singing the wrong song, do a dance, and run off

[RevolutionaryActs]

8. And then I would laugh so hard I would start to wheeze....

[rucky]

7. She Bang! She Bang!

She my baby.

[GoddessOfGuinness]

9. Duke Ellington

Prelude to a Kiss, because if you can sing that in tune and with style a capella; you can do effing anything.

[njdemocrat106]

10. Strangers in the Night

For some reason, I was thinking this exact same question after leaving the Petco today, and even though I've never sung in my life (except for those class music revues in elementary and middle school, and then only as part of a group), I think I could pull it off "Strangers in the Night" pretty well.

[realisticphish]

12. Closer, by nine inch nails

just to see if they'd let me finish...
i imagine id get to "i want to fuck you like an anim-"
before the security guards came in

14. 'Rape Me' by Nirvana

I'm on the only one.

[RevolutionaryActs]

15. "Hate me do it and do it again waste me"

"Rape me, my friend

I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only one"


Ah, good old Nirvana. :)

[Kire]

18. I always thought it was "I'm on the only one."

I did a google search (rape me lyrics "i'm on the only one") and you're right, the only two results were some guy on another message board swearing he thought that's what it meant, and another page that uses the phrase in a completely unrelated context

what does "I'm not the only one" mean here anyway?

"I'm on the only one" is a pretty good taunt, I think. "Rape Me, I don't care. I'm on the only one, and you don't got it." You see what I mean?

[double_helix]

19. what it means

(lyrics from nirvanaclub.com - the closest thing to an "official" Nirvana site)
---------
Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one (x4)

Hate me
Do it and do it again
Waste me
Rape me my friend

I'm not the only one (x4)

My favorite inside source
I'll kiss your open sores
Appreciate your concern
You'll always stink and burn

Rape me
Rape me my friend
Rape me
Rape me again

I'm not the only one (x4)

Rape me! (x9)
---------------------


IMO, the victim is telling the rapist "Rape me as much as you want, because you're the one who is really going to suffer for this. I know their are more victims, and one day we'll all rise up against you."

[Kire]

20. yours is better

[HEyHEY]

16. Ice Ice baby

[Whoa_Nelly]

17. Put on my shades and sing Tracy Chapman's

Gimme One Reason To Stay Here

ever so cool...:smoke:

[Seabiscuit]

22. "Let The Eagles Soar" Fox execs would love it, even if I couldn't sing

any better than John Ashcroft. I'd be the next American Idol, hands down.

[ET Awful]

23. Code Blue by TSOL :)

Only old-time punk fans will know what I mean, because it's too bad to post here :)

[Bhaisahab]

24. pete seger's If I Had A Hammer n/t!

[Enraged_Ape]

25. "Black Blade" by Blue Oyster Cult

Why can't they get anybody on this show who can actually play an instrument?
