Everything I’ve tried to write today has proved a task that would be much better if I had access to Photoshop for illustration purposes. For that reason, I am taking the easy way out, and linking some videos for songs that I sang(poorly) at different Karaoke spots over the years.
This one is a tried and true classic, and a great way to embarass any woman who accompanies you there
Guy – Let’s Chill
Get your Carlton Banks on to this one!
A-ha – Take On Me
Or you could go with the homie Terrance Trent…
Terrance Trent D’arby – Sign your Name
A song from the “King of R&B” = A good time had by all!
Bobby Brown – Every Little Step
Everybody remembers this one, but NO ONE wants to openly admit it!
Peter Cetera – Glory of Love
This guy wasn’t the best singer, which makes this good for karaoke! I forgot how fine Leila Arcieri looked in the beginning of this video, and how sexy the jump-off chick is, even with her bad wig. Usually wigs don’t sit well with me, so you know she’s serious!
Montell Jordan – Get It On Tonight
How can you not smile when you hear this song?! The doo-wop barbershop quartet sound makes me want to start harmonizing on the corner in the freezing cold
Billy Joel – For The Longest Time
Don’t do this one unless you can dance like Mike…I can’t, so I left this alone after my first way-too-rigid performance of it.
Michael Jackson – Don’t Stop ‘Till You Get Enough
The greatest two minutes of sh*t-talk ever recorded by someone other than myself.
Oran “Juice” Jones – The Rain
Yet another way to get a young lady’s attention in an over-the-top, ridiculous manner.
LL Cool J – I Need Love
One more ignorant one for good measure…
T- Pain – I’m In Luv With A Stripper
Basically, what you’re looking for is that perfect balance of “cheesy” and “good” when you’re picking a song. Have fun with the videos. Hopefully, they inspire brilliant moments of simpleton bliss for you all!

Maaaaaaaaaaaan… I got caught out there one time at this company Christmas party… after a ‘few’ sips of cognac, I grabbed the mic and did my version of R. Kelly’s Honey Love… it sounded real good until ere’body realized that the vocals from the record were actually being played along with the music and I was just singing along with it… so they re-started the instrumental only version and I sounded aiiiight… that of course is if you enjoy sounds that resemble a male version of Macy Gray and rottweiler puppy getting hit by multiple cars on 95…
nevah again!!!!
lmao @ G.Mo… been there and done that. I actually tried to sing dangerously in love by beyonce after a few shots….its a reason why i don’t have a deal…smh
I used to perform at my birthday parties as a lil girl, but after I got some sense, I vowed to NEVER EVER sing in public ever again.
My singing can’t even cut it in the shower, let alone karaoke! lol
LOL @ G Mo, would have loved to have seen that!
I can do a pretty good Stevie…”Uptight”
***brushes my wig*** Screw you, Leon! I may have purhased my hair from some Korean with an additional 5% off because it was the last one on the maniquin and I was really feelin the honey blonde and Miss Swan was like, “Yeah, you look niiii!” ****sobs*** BUT I HAVE A WHOLE LOTTA HAAAUUUUURRRRT!
Damn this Terence Trent Darby take me back, I suddenly want to hear Ready For The World, thank u for this post, for sure :-)
You know u can’t beat my version of Etta James’ “At Last”. Even Etta mad cuz “got dat” baby!!
i prefer to go into some chinese pop tunes live in front of an all asian crowd…. 10 beers deep of course….
VIOLATOR ALL-STAR DJ’S, DJ JAM X & WEB

Karaoke? Pfft! If it’s not “Baby Got Back!” (complete with interpretive dance) I’m not singing. :)
when I lived in NYC I would perform karaoke at the old Well’s on Seventh ave back in the day. I would channel Donna Summer, Diana Ross, and could I do Gladys Knight…what!
I just wanna know if you hit the high note for Take On Me. And I do a mean rendition of Total Eclipse of the Heart in karaoke.
Man, I would have thought you were too young to know A-ha, good for you! And where in the hell are you singing these songs, cause the, um, TWO local karaoke joints I know of wouldnt have some of these songs? Like that Oran Juice Jones joint, not in their catalogue, lol.

I always sing “Kiss” by Prince when I do karaoke. I have a pretty deep voice, so hitting those high notes makes everyone laugh.
Me and my friend butchered Stan by Eminem and Dido this past Friday. I was Em, he was Dido!
