Comment:
This here mix gathers together EVERY track I have ever attempted to sing in a Karaoke bar. No ommisions, they're all here! 1) My first attempt at Karaoke, certainly in public was performing this, about 13 years ago. I rocked! 3) This one's my most frequent choice. I'm not a huge 'Lee Roth' fan, but after a few drinks I seem to feel the need to belt this one out. 5) My only attempt at 'Doing a crooner'. It will be my last for a certain amount of time. Mark my words. 6) I couldn't reach the high notes. 7) I couldn't reach the low notes. 11) Carried this one off quite well surprisingly. I could barely stand at the time if I remember! 12) & 13) Even a 5 year old could tell you performing these is inadvisable. 15) Aah, now I enjoyed singing this one. I was at a works leaving do. Even the blank expressions on the faces of the under twentys in the bar wasn't gonna put me off. 16) Horrific. My worst ever. I died on my arse, really and truly. Walking off the stage to a ripple of polite applause was absolutely soul destroying. 'I Will Survive' I thought to myself. That's what I'll do next time. The final track was my most recent attempt, about a month ago. My fiance, Vicki chirped 'Let's Do Summer Lovin', she always gets song titles wrong. 'Absolutely Not' was my immediate reply. She put our name down behind my back anyway. My heart sank as our names were called out. We were terrible, the crowd loved us! So, there we have it. I'm already thinking of my next time on the stage and which song to sing. Now, what's that nice Enrique song about being a hero.....MIX
Feedback:
Oh Sam, I wanna take you to a karaoke bar and start a nuclear war at the karaoke bar. And see you croon all drunk.
Oh the humanity!Well, you've been honest with us, Sammy. So in spirit of reciprocation I must express my bitter, bitter disappointment at the absence of "The Wonder Of You". I would pay hard cash to hear and see that. Any chance of a companion DVD?You do realise this would have been a spicy mix, even without the soul baring. I look forward to the boxed set...polite applause..:)
beautiful. confessional. I want to know about #14. and why haven't you tried "Leather & Lace?"
I don't think there is enough alcohol in the universe to get me to sing in public but in my car I do a damm fine Crocodile Rock!
Speechless to the point I'm lost to comment further!
Holy shit Sam, people read these you know, hahaha. Oh boy, where do I start? Well track 15 was a stroke of genius! a karaoke masterstroke, and I dont even need to have heard your version to know that. Thanks for making me go to bed laughing my arse off my friend.
Back to back classics.
And, that was you, way back when, singing that T.Rex Song!? God, you were horrible! ;)
Just kidding...you were just mildly terrible...
Okay, now, seriously, never had the guts to do karoake (my hats off to you for doing so)...I don't drink and since it would take a significantly high level of inebriation for me to try, I don't see this in my future. Unless it was an instrumental....hmmm?

this is beautiful, if only for the theme, and i especially love the comments that go along with.
What bars are you going to that even have Tubeway Army as an option?? So jealous. Great mix concept!
Oh, no, not a Bread song!
i'm with French Connection
lol, Great!
Crocodile Rock is always a safe bet, IMHO . . . if I (hypothetically) were to go into a bar, have a drink and feel the need to make a complete arse of myself . . .
as a mix that I would want to listen to, however . . . . . this rocks (hee hee!) . . . esp #17
You are a brave soul, my friend. "All Night Long" would kick my ass solid. I might put one of these together to share the humility.
I'm with Chris & Hemizen: You'd probably have to put a gun to my head (or indeed start a nuclear war, no matter if the karoake bar was gay or straight) to actually make me get up in public and bring my vocal chords (let alone the rest of me) to favor the assembled crowd with my own personal rendition of a Lionel Ritchie chart topper (of all terrible ditties). Not that I'd mind watching (and/or listening to) anybody else doing it. ;) You must be some ballsy motherf*cker, sir. Rrrrrespect.
Jeez, damn, I never get thru these without making at least one mistake: it's "vocal cords" (just say no to the beeg bad H, kids), of course . . .
The mental preparation for some of these songs must have been overwhelming. "Everything I Own"? How could you sing that without bursting into tears? And you must be a skilled method actor to take on "Are 'Friends' Electric" I salute you.
Brilliant, I haven't tried karaoke yet, I've only been in a karaoke bar once and I wasn't near drunk enough to get up and do it. My friend however thought he'd be able to do a faithful rendition of Bowie's "Let's Dance" -- he was wrong. dead wrong.
Haha, this is great! "Don't You Want Me" - that's definitely a standard! Made me chuckle no end and, like Herr Mohr, I have to commend you on having the guts to get up there. I've only done it once, with my brother, in a hotel bar where there were about 3 other people - otherwise I wouldn't have gone near it. (It was the Beastie Boys' "Fight For Your Right"...oh, God...) Anyway, thanks for the huge entertainment here!
Cool choices (as always)...
My Two Attempts have been Bang On The Drum All Day by TR, after a Xmas party with half of my co-workers in attendance, which lead to a shining moment of glory with (of course) "I feel so frustrated/cuz (a certain person) is a jerk!"Fire, the Bruce Springsteen song as done by The Pointer Sisters... which due to the amount of smoke in the room and drink in me came out as a Barry White gravel through...

Cool. Love that Beatles through Roger Miller run.
Great idea and hysterical comments ... my first Karaoke attempt was "I Am Woman" (Helen Reddy), the Florida audience did not get the humor. I now stick to Johnny Horton's "Battle of New Orleans", it's in my range and makes the under 30's stare.
Very clever and funny. In my estimation, this should be named Mix of the Week.<br I love singing "King of the Road" and "Just a Gigalo"!
Yep, I'm also with Herr Mohr...
Highly entertaining.
great job on the mix and liner notes. your karaoke range is quite a bit wider than mine, but no guts no glory, eh ? the conway twitty song is a classic, but a word of warning - STAY AWAY FROM ABBA, PLEASE !
we have a (mostly) weekly karaoke evening and have a bunch of regulars who must do 'their' song each time. sometimes we forget the original version after hearing our local crooners warble their own takes so often :)

Wonderful! I wish I'd been to every performance.
I know you're not asking, but others have offered so I will too - I've only karaoked once and I did two Tom Jones songs: She's A Lady, and Kiss (while not technically Tom's song, from where I'm listening, he owns it). And no, there were no panties or y-fronts on the stage when I finished. Maybe that's why I only did it the once...

Extremely interesting concept. You have inspired me.
This is hilarious and enjoyable. I hate karaoke, but did it once when stuck at a hotel bar in Oil City, PA 12 years ago. I sang "Girl" (the Beatles), "You've Really Got a Hold on Me" (the Miracles), "Surrender" (Cheap Trick) and "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" (the Clash). The crowd response was actually very enthusiastic, but I never want to repeat that experience. :-) That said, you've got great taste in karaoke covers.
Excellent! Just don't ever try 'A Day In the Life'. Particularly not in a bar in Liverpool. To a room full of unimpressed Scousers.
