RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

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.
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.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.
Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...
...as a duet.
Same bar had a dude that would sing Disney princess songs every night. He never went home alone.
Shout out to Dante's in Seattle!
Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus.
I could butcher anything, but that, I'll butcher it with glee.
If you would have said Party in the USA, I would be up there butchering it with you.
My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion
I literally cannot imagine a situation where the whole group doesn't sing along to this. This is a batter answer to, 'what song to bring people out of their shells?'
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love - the original album version where there's around 20s of motorcycle sounds and vocals start around 1:50.
This was my favorite song to play on a jukebox back in the day. I could put it on 3 times in a row for a dollar at the local bar, and it would take over the sound system for over half an hour. There are enough transitions in it that it flows back into itself fairly well.
In the UK any of the below should do the trick, with the added bonus of possibly getting you stabbed and/ or glassed:
Gary Glitter - My Gang
Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg
Lostprophets - Last Train Home
I did this with “Everybody Hurts”. Everybody went outside.
Tequila
Blurred Lines
4'33"
If you went up there and did the entire songs including informing when they movements began and ended … frankly you’d be a legend.
"what what in the butt" with the dance, no censorship to save them when it's live.
I looked for this to upvote it, but y’all ain’t listed it yet so here goes:
The Drugs Don’t Work by The Verve
The Smallest Church in Saint-Saens
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Long song with not a lot of singing.
A Passion Play.
The entire thing. Including the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles.
(Side note: I love this album, but as a karaoke performance I can't imagine it'd go down well)
Gummi bears theme song
Could also do The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh theme, another actually good song that reverts the crowd to sleepy five-year-olds
I like the cut of your jib
I don't know how you got to that anwer, this would go hard as balls
I'm killing the "hyped up" vibes and getting everyone to cozy comfyville
Hum the Russian national anthem
Was thincking the same thing
The Mash movie theme song...
Through early morning fog, I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless (suicide) It brings on many changes (changes) And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works it's way on in The pain grows stronger, watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be?" And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?" Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please
