Awful singers of AskUK, what’s the karaoke song that those of us lacking in tune can pull off?

28 comments

1. Pantera – Fucking Hostile

2. Adele – somebody like you

3. Should have heard them here earlier – they were blasting some vroom vroom vroom 90s meme song and sounded like cats fighting.

   Made me realise drunk people don’t know how bad they are singing so I guess the trick is get everyone drunk

4. The animals – house of the rising sun

5. Anything by The Ramones or by The Clash.

   If you are the first on for the night, then My Way by Frank Sinatra.

   You won’t be able to sing it well, but fuck that song up at the start and nobody will sing it for the rest of the evening, and that is a plus.

6. The Champs-Tequila

7. Tequila by The Champs

8. There is no such thing as a bad singer. Just a bad choice of song!

9. If you can put on a Shaggy voice then do Shaggy-Angels and get someone else to do the Rayvon singing parts.

   You don’t even need to get the words right, just the rhythm, slight tune, and vague syllables.

10. Midnight train

11. Madness is always a good choice

12. Mr Brightside is mostly talking

13. Children by Robert Miles

14. I always ask if they have a good instrumental.

    They never do but one day I’ll be lucky

15. A boy named Sue by Jonny Cash

16. Trailer for sale – Dean Martin

17. “We will rock you” by Queen is easy, short, and the audience will “sing” it with you. Job done.

18. I feel like mustang Sally is written to be sung badly.

19. Just own it and have fun

20. Any of the Beatles songs written for Ringo

21. Sing things that the audience will sing along too. Classics that everyone knows the lyrics too even if they can’t read the screen. We will rock you is a good one unless everyone is very young.

22. Cool for cats

23. Darude – sandstorm

24. Something by Leonard Cohen, not really a karaoke vibe though.

25. Tubthumping

26. Golden Brown by the Stranglers is mostly in a bit of a low monotone, and is very short.

27. Baz Lurman – Wear Sunscreen – all talk, no singing

    Also, almost anything by Ian Drury and the Blockheads.

    Optional – take the ‘Shatner method’ and do spoken word to everything..

28. “Tequila” by The Champs
