Title: Worst Karaoke play list ever.
Post by: Flemingovia on September 19, 2007, 07:24:14 AM: What songs should never, ever be sung in a karaoke bar, and why?

Earth Wind and Fire: "Reasons"
Because falsettos don't work

Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody
Because of the "Galileo" bit, and because Freddy Mercury turns in his grave.

Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddie: "when I'm calling you"
Yodeling? Niet.

Post by: Eientei on September 19, 2007, 07:31:44 AM: "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road". Especially at the "This boy's too young to be singing - the BLUUUUUU-U-UES AAAAAAAAHHH AH AH AH AAAAAAAAHHH" line.

Any song by Yes, because the (male) singer's vocals are a lot higher than most men can sing, and that's not even a falsetto, it's his real voice. Just don't try it.

Post by: Delfos on September 19, 2007, 06:55:28 PM: Manowar - Carry On, lyric and all isn't hard, but if you actually try to imitate the voice and voice effects might sound horrible along with the majority of Melodic Metal.

Post by: Flemingovia on September 20, 2007, 05:06:19 PM: The Jackson 5: "Rockin Robin"
Sing like a little boy? No!

Lena Lovich: Lucky Numbers
Remember that one? Impossible to sing.

Minnie Riperton: Loving you"
Google it if you cannot remember it. Highest note I have ever heard on a pop record. Should not be attempted without surgery.

Nobody can sing this song right even with the words. They just end up mumbling.

Post by: Myroria on September 22, 2007, 03:54:31 AM: "Interstellar Overdrive", because it's an instrumental.

*rimshot*

"Chocolate Rain" - I hate the song, the guy, the video, the guy's voice...If anyone at a karaoke bar sang this, you could murder him out of self-defense for your mind.

Post by: Flemingovia on September 23, 2007, 04:50:43 PM: Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.
It was weird even when KAte Bush sang it. I dread to think what Karaoke would do to it.

Post by: Flemingovia on September 28, 2007, 08:30:51 AM: Got another one:

"I feel like dancing" by Leo Sayer.
Perm? falsetto? Even the original makes me shudder.

"Save your kisses for me" by (I think) Brotherhood of Man
Cheesy dance routine, awful song, and it is about snogging a three year old girl.

Post by: Tacolicious on September 28, 2007, 11:05:34 AM: "My Way" - They have actually removed this from some places because it was resulting in too many fights.

Post by: Ess on September 28, 2007, 05:09:45 PM: Havin' My Baby. *shudders* Worst song ever !!

Post by: Allama on September 28, 2007, 05:32:00 PM: Anything by David Bowie, especially "Starman". Bastards always ruin it.

Oh, and Usher's "Yeah" song. UGH.

Post by: Flemingovia on September 29, 2007, 04:59:54 PM: "Humbled in love" by Leonard Cohen .... in fact, anything by Leonard Cohen.

You need to BE Leonard Cohen to sing Leonard Cohen. Anything else just sounds like a rambling drunk.

Post by: LaughterAndSunshine on October 01, 2007, 02:12:59 AM: I Got You Babe - Sonny & Cher
