Carly Simon - You're so Vain

― girlish in the worst sense of that term (Shakey Mo Collier), Saturday, 1 August 2009 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

"Be My Lover" at a Tallahassee redneck karaoke bar (the kind that doesn't have a name, only a white banner with red letters that just says "KARAOKE" on it). Everyone else in my group's turn was skipped after that, but we all agreed it was worth it.

Used to love doing "Do You Know the Way to San Jose" but that's not strictly a cross-gender song.

Red Light Special karaoke would be painful.

― "lol" as frivolity (Stevie D), Saturday, 1 August 2009 15:02 (seventeen years ago)

― don't try to church it up (nickalicious), Saturday, 1 August 2009 15:25 (seventeen years ago)

cars that go boom

I did "Since U Been Gone" at live-band karaoke, but I think my biggest cross-gender karaoke success has been "I Wanna Dance with Somebody," even though (or maybe because) I had to keep switching between octaves.

I was doing a duet with a lady friend of "Close My Eyes Forever" by Ozzy and Lita. We started right but realized after a while that we were singing each other's lines...
