Had a woman invite me out to karaoke, but I don’t think we’re compatible long term so I’m taking notes from this thread.
Instrumental version of Tequila
In the arms of an angel…
Best answer, IMO. Whole bar in tears.
What’s New Pussycat, 21 times in a row.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.
It’s a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.
I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.
Wouldn’t work as I’d be singing along
This is definitely the wrong answer.
Bloodhound Gang - A Lapdance Is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying

I find it quite a thrill…
I touch myself.
That’s a sing-along song in our local bar, lol!
By the Devinyls, or just in general?
Extra points if you make up your own little version.
Or your own interpretive dance.
Urgh just whatever I think might be fun at the time, it’s always bad
Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.
auld lang syne
If you’re in Scotland when you do this people will sing along with you
then I could use the renunciation, a wobbly song to the same tune
I remember the first time my then-girlfriend, who was American, heard God Save the Queen while here in the UK. It was an instrumental version and she had no idea why they were playing My Country 'tis of Thee in a situation where you would expect a national anthem
Even our “anthem” is a white supremacist poem slapped on top of an old British drinking song. How apt. A country of drunken racists.
I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.
The Mountain Goats’ “No Children”, but very intensely.
I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.
Depends on the crowd. I did this song once because I was just so excited to see it (any Mountain Goats, really) available.
The crowd absolutely loved it. People at the front row singing along, having a great time. A guy thanked me after. Surreal. Like a “then everybody clapped” moment.
Must have been a bunch of Moral Orel fans, I guess? Or, I suppose after people butchering Bohemian Rhapsody all night, this was the palate cleanser. Who knows.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It’s a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.
Right now, as someone not from the US, star spangled banned would ruin the evening more than anything else I could think of. Everyone can recognize it, arguments would follow.
