Depends on the setting.
Nobody seems into it? Kiss from a rose- seal.
Need to set the bar? The Widow- Mars Volta
Classic crowd? Plush- Stone temple pilots
Easiest for my voice: There’s a reason these tables are numbered- Panic at the Disco
People are worried to be embarassed? Brand new key- Melanie
And on the occasion I want to make everyone laugh and impress them: It’s all coming back to me- Celine Dion.
I’m a large, traditionally masculine guy. It’s a lot more fun to subvert expectations.
Edit: forgot one. If I’m attempting to impress girls: Mon amant de saint-jean- Patrick Bruel
This is a phenomenal list.
If you or the host use Karafun, you can drop the key an octave when selecting. In which case Let It Go from Frozen is a solid crowd pleaser and might be in your range.
Good to know, although my range is unreasonably high for the way I look. While on the topic of tips to help with karaoke, if you have the option on your setup, or can ask the DJ to do so, add about 10-15% reverb to the microphone. It allows the singer to hear themselves and pitch correct on the fly.
I used to love singing One Armed Scissor on Rock Band but I’ve never had the guts to try ATDI or Mars Volta in public.
I wanna try arcarsenal but i don’t think I’d be able to speak afterward
The Widow- Mars Volta
Surprised to see Mars Volta! It’s a little too high for my range to try it in public, but I could get down with Televators.
I fell in love with them while I was finding my singing voice, so that’s where my range ended up
This is a proper answer.
Tequila.
I don’t like singing in public.
You should try … ‘Oh Yeah’ by Yello
The Distance by Cake. I can’t sing so this works every time.
Dragula by Rob Zombie
Poor Unfortunate Souls from the Little Mermaid. Pat Carroll’s key is perfect for dudes and this song is great to ham up. I also go with Let’s Dance by David Bowie and Rock Lobster by the B52s when my wife is there to duet
For a large bearded man, I do a mean Part of Your World.
Bohemian rhapsody - Queen
Don’t Stop Me Now is great too
“I’m having a ball” / Freddie Mercury
Somebody to Love is my Queen go-to.
Doesn’t matter if it sounds awful, EVERYONE sings along :)
Tenacious D - Kickapoo
I love rocking tebacious D at karaoke, the right crowd gets into it and ends up yelling along and everyone seems to appreciate attacking with more gusto than skill.
Part of why I generally go with Double Team, many fun stage effects etc.
Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. Idc if I’m a man in his late 20’s I’m putting my heart and soul into it
Tequila lol
I’ll Make a Man Out of You from Mulan
Down With the Sickness. Although, fuck Draimon.
Why?
Why to which sentence? The first sentence is questionable in and of itself. But I guess the best answer is, “because I know all the words, and it’s fun to make anger noises.”
The second sentence could be questioned if someone were out of the loop. It’s because the herald of inclusivity literally signed off on a genocide. He’s voiced a number of odd opinions with flawed logic, but he preaches peace while signing missiles. And then went on hiatus because his fans think that calling for the end of a genocide is “free speech,” while he calls it “antisemitism,” and then he got booed for his awful opinion and refusal to value all human life.
It was for the second question. I like a lot of Disturbed’s music but don’t really follow the news about the band members. Thanks for linking to the news stories. That’s disgusting and disappointing.
Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood
Finally…
Use Me by Bill Withers
In the Philippines: My way by Frank Sinatra
And in all other part of the world?
In all other parts of the world it’s not guaranteed to start a riot.
Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode
