Worst Karaoke play list ever.
« 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.

"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.

I'm going to add the worst song I ever heard.  Eye of the Tiger done by someone who was tone deaf.

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.

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.

It's the End of the World as We Know It-R.E.M.
Nobody can sing this song right even with the words. They just end up mumbling.

"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.

Wuthering Heights by Kate Bush.
It was weird even when KAte Bush sang it. I dread to think what Karaoke would do to it.

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.

"My Way" - They have actually removed this from some places because it was resulting in too many fights.
