I have not come across a single person on my flist who took the yes/no meme who has sung karaoke.

What. The. Fuck.

VIRTUAL KARAOKE PARTY!!! Everybody come sing! It doesn't even matter if you can't sing, because we can't actually hear you. Huzzah!

Right now, mine's The House Rules by Kane, who you should support if you live in the States.

Well you're tired and you're beat and you worked all week
And you need a place you can let it go
Where the girls go wild and the boys play hard
And you need a little more than just the radio
Well here's an open invitation, with just a couple regulations
Let me warn you son only come to have fun
We don't take kindly to serious
So leave your troubles at the door unless you want some in here

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drink and laughs and gets high
It's country music, a little soul
It's a rock and roll rodeo
We don't tolerate no sittin' around
Everybody's dancing and grooving and getting on down
So before you come walkin' in here with some kinda attitude
You better read the house rules

Round 11 o'clock when the front door locks and the boys start raising the bottles
And the girls do their thing with the Mardi Gras beads
Yeah you know they're gonna show 'em if they got 'em
And no matter what your story
A good time is mandatory
Well rule number 7 says don't touch the women but they can grab whatever they want to

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drink and laughs and gets high
It's country music, a little soul
It's a rock and roll rodeo
We don't tolerate no sittin' around
Everybody's dancing and grooving and getting on down
So before you come walkin' in here with some kinda attitude
You better read the house rules

No such thing as last call
You pick 'em up when they fall
We share the same bathroom stall
Says the sign on the wall

1, 2, 3, 4

Welcome to my house, buckle up tight
Everybody sings and drink and laughs and gets high
It's country music, a little soul
It's a rock and roll rodeo
We don't tolerate no sittin' around
Everybody's dancing and grooving and getting on down
So before you come walkin' in here with some kinda attitude
Boy, before you come walkin' in here with any kinda attitude
You better read the house rules

YOUR TURN.

I didn't take the meme, but I HAVE sung karaoke (at the science fiction convention I attended last month, in fact). So there. Nyah.

Pfft, I said meme-takers. Besides, virtual karaoke's fun for everyone!!

I used to sing karaoke a lot. Of course, I lived in Japan at the time.

Sometimes I sing karaoke in my car, although I don't think that's called 'karaoke' so much as 'scaring the other drivers.'

I love karaoke but my little sisters read my journal and I'm not sure that some of the other answers I want them to know yet. :)

I've sung karaoke before, and it was fun!

If I only knew how to get the song from the CD I have in my hands to a sendspace page I would love to join the virtual karaoke.

I've done Karaoke, but never Virtually!


When I first held you I was cold
A melting snowman I was told
But there was no-one there to hold
Before I swore that I would be alone forever more
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It’s such a lovely day
And I’m glad that you feel the same
’cos to stand up I’m in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the flowers grow
There is no reason to feel bad
But there are many seasons to feel glad, sad, mad
It’s just a bunch of feelings that we have to hold
But I am here to help you with the load
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It’s such a lovely day
And I’m glad that you feel the same
’cos to stand up I’m in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the flowers grow
So now we’re heer and now is fine
So far away from there
And there is time, time, time
To plant new seeds and watch them grow
So there’ll be flowers in the window when we go
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It’s such a lovely day
And I’m glad that you feel the same
’cos to stand up I’m in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the flowers grow
Wow, look at you now
Flowers in the window
It’s such a lovely day
And I’m glad that you feel the same
’cos to stand up I’m in the crowd
You are one in a million
And I love you so let’s watch the flowers grow
Let’s watch the flowers grow

In honor of the live band 80s metal kareoke I do when I'm stateside...


"Youth Gone Wild" by Skid Row

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town

Never played by the rules I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me

I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standin' tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
We are the youth gone wild

numb by linkin park (http://s48.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0FXWTIX9S57O23APZWX27XKX5N), my default karaoke song!

i'm tired of being what you want me to be
feeling so faithless
lost under the surface
i don't know what you're expecting of me
put under the pressure
of walking in your shoes
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you

i've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i'm becoming this
all i want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

can't you see that you're smothering me
holding too tightly
afraid to lose control
cause everything that you thought i would be
has fallen apart right in front of you

[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
every step that i take is another mistake to you
[caught in the undertow / just caught in the undertow]
and every second i waste is more than i can take

but i know
i may end up failing too
but i know
you were just like me
with someone disappointed in you

i've
become so numb
i can't feel you there
become so tired
so much more aware
i'm becoming this
all i want to do
is be more like me
and be less like you

The Darkness


Can't explain all the feelings that you're making me feel
My heart's in overdrive and you're behind the steering wheel

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I wanna kiss you every minute, every hour, every day
You got me in a spin but everythin' is A.OK!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh! Guitar!

Touching you, touching me
touching you, god you're touching me

I believe in a thing called love
Just listen to the rhythm of my heart
There's a chance we could make it now
We'll be rocking 'til the sun goes down
I believe in a thing called love
Ooh!

I did sing karaoke, but I did it with my friend Kyla, who fortunately is a better singer than I.

And I have been sitting at my computer singing Life's a Show from Once More with Feeling because no one is home to complain. :)

I just sang "Sympathy for the Devil" VERY LOUDLY just for you. Yay!

From: [identity profile] cinnamontwist.livejournal.com


I'm in a Musicals mood, so here's one sappy number from Moulin Rouge!

Come What May

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I've never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I'm loving you more and more
Listen to my heart, can you hear it sings
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change, winter to spring
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you
And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Oh, come what may, come what may
I will love you, I will love you
Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you until my dying day

Ooohhh Karaoke


Harden My Heart
-Quarterflash


Cryin' on the corner
Waitin' in the rain
I swear I'll never ever wait again
You gave me a word
But words for you are lies

Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

All of my life
I've been waitin' in the rain
I've been waitin' for a feelin' that never ever came

It feels so close
But always disappears

Darlin' in your wildest dreams
You never had a clue
But its time you got the news

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

Darlin' in my wildest dreams
I never thought I'd go
But its time to let you know

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna turn and leave you here

I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears

Harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears
Oh oh oh oh

Harden my heart
I'm gonna harden my heart
I'm gonna swallow my tears

Go 'way from my window,
Leave at your own chosen speed.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I'm not the one you need.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Never weak but always strong,
To protect you an' defend you
Whether you are right or wrong,
Someone to open each and every door,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go lightly from the ledge, babe,
Go lightly on the ground.
I'm not the one you want, babe,
I will only let you down.
You say you're lookin' for someone
Who will promise never to part,
Someone to close his eyes for you,
Someone to close his heart,
Someone who will die for you an' more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

Go melt back into the night, babe,
Everything inside is made of stone.
There's nothing in here moving
An' anyway I'm not alone.
You say you're looking for someone
Who'll pick you up each time you fall,
To gather flowers constantly
An' to come each time you call,
A lover for your life an' nothing more,
But it ain't me, babe,
No, no, no, it ain't me, babe,
It ain't me you're lookin' for, babe.

I'm totally in, I love karaoke :)

She's in Love With the Boy by Trisha Yearwood

Katie's sittin' on her old front porch
Watchin' the chickens peck the ground
There ain't a whole lot goin' on tonight
In this one horse town.
Over yonder, comin' up the road
In a beat-up Chevy truck
Her boyfriend Tommy's layin' on the horn
Splashin' through the mud and the muck

Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young, and man she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere!
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away, she's gonna marry that boy someday.

Katie and Tommy at the drive-in movie
Parked in the very last row
They're too busy holdin' on to one another
To even care about the show
Later on behind the Tastee-Freeze
Tommy slips something on her hand
He says, "My high school ring will have to do
Till I can buy a wedding band."

Her daddy says he ain't worth a lick
When it came to brains he got the short end of the stick
But Katie's young, and man she just don't care
She'd follow Tommy anywhere!
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
And even if they have to run away, she's gonna marry that boy someday.

Her daddy's waitin' up till half past twelve
When they come sneakin' up the walk
He says, "Young lady, get on up to your room
While me and Junior have a talk."
Momma breaks in, says "Don't lose your temper,
It wasn't very long ago
When you yourself was just a hayseed plowboy
Who didn't have a row to hoe

My daddy said you wasn't worth a lick
When it came to brains you got the short end of the stick
But he was wrong, and honey, you are too
Katie looks at Tommy like I still look at you!
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way

She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
She's in love with the boy
What's meant to be will always find a way, she's gonna marry that boy someday.

This is the best karaoke ever. Mainly because it doesn't involve getting onstage, or hearing your favorite songs be mangled. Virtual singing = win.

One of my favorite songs to put on repeat lately:

Cry To Me by Solomon Burke (http://s54.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0TC3W5YQ6Q9TP2I383AK2PQDXF)

When your baby leaves you all alone
And nobody calls you on the phone
Don't you feel like a cry?
Don't you feel like crying?
Well here I am, honey
Come on - you cry to me

When you're all alone in your lonely room
And there's nothing but the smell of her perfume
Don't you feel like a cry?
Don't you feel like crying?
Ah don't you feel like a cry?
Come on, come on cry to me

Wo-oah, nothing can be sadder
Than a glass of wine, alone
Loneliness, loneliness, such a waste of time
Oh-oh yes

You don't ever have to walk alone, oh you see
So come on, take my hand and baby won't you walk with me?
Oh yeah

When you're waiting for a voice to come
In the night but there's no one
Ah don't you feel like a cry? (Cry to me)
Don't you feel like crying? (Cry to me)
Ah don't you feel like a-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra, (cry to me)
Co-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying? (cry to me)
Ah don't you feel like a-ca-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra,
Co-cra-co-cra-co-cra-cra crying?
