Go-to karaoke song? ๐ŸŽค

Happy Friday I am aggressively hungoverย 

Has your office ever forced you to participate in karaoke?ย 
Do you willingly participate in karaoke?ย 
Do you participate in alcohol-induced karaoke?ย 

my go to is Believe - Cherย 
is it a good choice? noย 
is it what people want to hear? also noย

Depends on how drunk I am.ย 

If Iโ€™m not that drunk and donโ€™t want to embarrass myself Iโ€™ll stick with a rap. Juicy by Biggie, find a duet partner to do Forgot About Dre with meโ€ฆย 

Medium drunk? The Joker by Steve Miller Band.ย 

But if Iโ€™ve dipped into the โ€˜lua the right amount and no longer care about retaining anyoneโ€™s respect, yawl are getting a powerful Rendition of Pour Some Sugar On Me complete with a chair dance.ย

I go with something by Johnny Cash. Folsom Prison Blues works. Short, doesn't require vocal range, and other people know the words and sing along.ย 

I had a buddy who's go to was I'm Just a Girl by No Doubt -- that one brought the house down.

I've been forced. It was on a club trip. We were all on a bus going from resort to marina and CRO thought it'd be fun. Whoever sang picked the next person to sing, and so on. Even the spouses got roped in.

I did my best to hide so I wouldn't get called. But eventually everyone had to go. Mrs. Braintank, who is quite shy an introverted was PISSED.ย

I will always be the first to grab the mic. Here are my top 3 songs I will sing.

1. Home for a rest - Spirit of the west
2. Cocaine Blues - Johnny Cash
3. Barbie Girl - Aqua

Do I sing these well?? Hell no. But I have fun doing it.ย

Alcohol induced karaoke to laugh at coworkers for sure. Still the best company party weโ€™ve had.

How to find the perfect karaoke song. A framework in three steps:

1. It should make you sound better than you are. Really channel that inner star of yours.

2. It need to be something that is easy to sign along with, you probably need all the help you can get.

3. Itโ€™s preferable if it is a song from your shame list. A song that you like, not proud of.

Examples:
Abba- Dancing Queen
Ace of Base - The sign
Ronan Keating (not famous in US but glorious ginger from Ireland, lead singer of boy band Boyzone) - Life is a rollercoaster
Wilson Philips - Hold on
Mike and the Mechanics - Over my shoulder
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse

For the friends who always say โ€œI really canโ€™t singโ€ I have two additional options that fits the three criteria.
Tom Jones - Sex Bomb, and Shaggy -Boombastic. Both are talk songs so you donโ€™t even have to sing, are well known and a tad embarrassing.
