most (maybe or maybe not intentionally) assholish karaoke song choices

"Like a Rolling Stone" and/or "American Pie"

omg "American Pie"! Please let me never see the day.

My friend John got thrown out last night for intentionally ruining Patsy Cline "Crazy". Thrown out of KARAOKE.

"Thick as a Brick" IN THE STYLE OF JETHRO TULL.

MUSICAL BREAK 40 MEASURES.

NB I love this song.

"Paranoid Android"

That is a crowd pleaser! Because everybody gets to sing during the RAIN DOWN part.

Thrown out of KARAOKE.

this happened to my wife during a rendition of Sabbath's "War Pigs". Extended guitar solo break plus bellowing woman = angry old filipino dudes

any hip-hop song you don't actually know the fucking words to

"Killer Queen" is impossible to sing properly and makes everyone sad :(

paradise by the dashboard light and the grease medley are the two worst, they go on forever and suck

wait is it paradise by the dashboard light? it's the meatloaf song that never ends

fuck all i wanna do these days is karaoke 'war pigs'
tho i wld give the guitar solo its due

i think i've witnessed more people being kicked out of karaoke than being kicked out a bar w/o karaoke. and i don't go to karaoke nights that often. karaoke people are kinda serious, sometimes.
so i think the answer to this thread is fucking 'my heart will go on' at about 12:40 am sung by two 20-something guys and a random girl who've been drinking since 6

I always do "In Da Club"

A friend of mine got shut down mid-song during karaoke at the VFW for singing "99 Red Balloons" in German. lol veterans

my friend has a karaoke setup at his house, i did "Epitaph" by King Crimson once, lol @ 8 minute mellotron epic not really going over too well

Haha at my house that wouldve gone over a TRAET :D

But then again we play audiosurf to "Dukes Travels" and shit so you know.

"Killer Queen" is impossible to sing properly and makes everyone sad :(

crisis averted a few weeks back when i couldn't find it in the songbook (as if i know the words anyway). i listened to it the next day, hoo boy.

i got kicked out of a karaoke once for singing runaround sue and elaborating too candidly the on the questionable nature of the titular sue.

"Killer Queen" is impossible to sing properly and makes everyone sad :(

Ditto "Bicycle Race" or any other song with lots of key changes. Talentless singer randomly trying to find what key they're in while the song is changing key AGAIN = pain.

That's more tragic than assholish though.

"Creep"

anything by nickelback

"My Way", duh!

"Creep"

I've done this.

Doing "Living On A Prayer" too early in the evening.

i did "born to run" last night. that was pretty assholish.

"creep" by radiohead or "creep" by tlc? the latter would be awesome, right?

spencer chow and ned have seen me do unpretty by tlc

A friend of mine got shut down mid-song during karaoke at the VFW for singing "99 Red Balloons" in German. lol veterans

Er....99 lead balloons?

99 dead baboons

Choosing a karaoke song for a friend and shoving him up onstage to general cheering on crowd's part and embarrasment on his. Especially if the song choice is "Song for Guy" Elton John

i was at karaoke with this weird dude who had just run away from a cult he had been living with for years.

it was october and he pulled out "Little Drummer Boy" and did the whole thing in a hideous falsetto, making up his own lyrics except for the rum-pa-pum-pum parts, in a totally straight face.

karaoke emcee scowled at him and informed us it was a "christian establishment."

lol Mesa, AZ.
