Everybody has considered, or attempted, karaoke before. But, which song is the best choice?? Which one for you? For me? For your sister? For your neighbor's dog? Well, while that's interesting, I want to discuss one song in particular.
Yes, you know which one I speak of. That song: Bohemian Rhapsody by the memorable band Queen and sung by late-great Freddie Mercury. The man who's vocal range has been recorded as low as F2 and as high as D6. This song, it's tough. So, the question: singing this song in front of people, sober, bold move, or social suicide?
You've certainly chosen the correct username, CD.
That's insane! Unless it's actually stand-up comedy.
Hmmm. Eva has a point. CD, do you honestly think you can pull it off ? If so I'd say what the hell... Go for it, but be prepared to make a fool out of youself. (Not always the worst thing in the world.)
I once manged to avoid a potential ass whupping in rural South Carolina by belting out Jambalaya by Hank Williams. I butchered the song, but the thought counted enough, and I drank free the rest of the night.
Goodbye Joe. Me Gotta go. Me oh my oh.
Me gotta go pole the pirogue down the bayou
<Gus, do you pole a pirogue to the swamp tree trunk liquor store?>

Cliché
CD, in order to reach the high notes, you must remember to insert a scaramouche in your fandango at the appropriate time.
Good luck.
Never kareoke in front of anyone unless you are "filled to the gills" or they are or even better bothof you at once then it wont matter what you sing.
I see a little silhouetto of a man.
Doing karaoke.
It's suicide man.
I prefer doing a creepy, sarcastic version of "Wind Beneath My Wings."
It's important to scowl and make quotation marks with your fingers when you sing, "Did you ever know that you're my HERO? You're everything I wish I could be."
And dedicate it to an obscure celebrity, like Pat Sajak, so your audience will wonder what sordid history is behind your rendition.
as a karaoke operator I beg you not to do it....
BVT:
Do you get a lot of angry overweight women singing Alanis Morrisette (I'm Here to Remind You)?
Or dumb coeds singing Madonna's Just Like A Prayer?
Wondering if this is a local phenomenon, or a national one.
we get like a virgin.... and the alanis morisette is popular because everyone screams out f*ck at the right moment....you never even called me by my name is big around here...
Eh, at the very least, therre will be a few fools like me admiring your guts. I'd buy ya a drink for that suicide mission ...and GO!
Maybe I'd do it, just so people say, "That guy has some guts,"...........and then laugh at me.
Queen Live-Aid 1985
Check it out. I could never do it like this, and
he even lowers the high notes because of the nodules on his vocal chords. So under-appriciated because of the whole gayness thing. But goddamn it Freddie can sing. R.I.P.
Bold.
And crazy in a really marvellous way.
