Best karaoke song...
« on: 08 June 2018, 19:38:00 »
It's karaoke night here, and assuming I have drunk enough to have no shame by 8pm, I might have a bash at Rhinestone Cowboy...

That said, this is a touch clichéd as every drunken mong can make a reasonable stab at it... Even me :D

My alternative idea is Aqua Barbie Girl done as a dry monologue done Bill Nighy stylee :o

So, any other ideas, that might spare me from abject humiliation... I'm here for a fortnight, feel free to share ;)

Am about six pints into the evening if that helps...

American pie - Don Mclean
about 10 mins long  ;D
I sang it once at a Karaoke (thanks to my tw@ mates for nominating me)
I "won"  a bottle of fizz

well ......

 the organizer said "i'll give you this bottle if you promise NOT to sing again "

but a win is a win right  :y

If your pissed enough for something ambitious - Here I go again, Whitesnake. Just give your nads a hard squeeze when that really high note comes.  :D

As I walk home, I'm starting to wonder if I'll regret the third pint of Plum Porter tomorrow.

My last Karoke attempt was Ernie. Its surprisingly difficult when sober.  But I did manage to get the pub to join in with the chorus lines.

This brings back very bad memories of the time a mate of mine tried to sing Cotton Eye Joe in a bar in Rhodes.  :-X

I pretended I didn't know him for the rest of the evening. ::)

I had pints and pints of that stuff at a music festival the weekend before last. Lovely. :-*

No after effects. Sure would have remembered it if there were as I was camping, with one loo per eleventy million punters. ;D

Currently in an Irish bar with live music... The singer has just interspersed U2 With or Without you with lyric bombs from Lady Gaga, Aqua and Katy Perry :o so I guess anything really is possible  :D

Will stop drinking three days before I head back to be on the safe side...  ;)

Am eating three squares a day too ;)

Besides, in my limited defence, I don't drink much as a rule, but if the opportunity presents and I am in the mood, then I get stuck in... :D

I have my next lined up in a few weeks, then one in Autumn booked (but not flights yet), and next summer's has deposit down. I like to know I always have another one "in the bag" before I get home :)

This one being a villa holiday means I can't get slaughtered, as have to drive to restaurants in the evening.
