...to ask you for your suggestions for karaoke songs?

[ABrotherWhoLooksLikeHellMugYou]

We're very aware of some gaping holes in our karaoke catalogue, but every time we go to download new ones, we forget which ones we said we ought to have.

Ignoring Gloria Gaynor, which is obviously in there, assume we have no songs and make some suggestions for good songs...and good karaoke songs, which are not necessarily the same things!

Any genre will do. DP likes metal, I like country and we'll both give almost anything a whirl if we're drunk enough (i think DP singing Katy Perry with the 7 year old was a highlight)

Valerie
mama mia
paradise by the dashboard light
living on a prayer
Venus

Don't let the sun go down on me. Elton John, George Michael version.

Also Don't go brealing my heart (I like Elton John)

China in your Hand
Son of a Preacher Man
I Love Rock n Roll
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
I'm Still Standing
Don't You Worry Bout A Thing

Islands in the Stream

Mustang Sally
Anything from the commitments or blues brothers
Over and done with (proclaimers)
Don't stop me now (queen)

La Bamba!!

Also,
9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Friends In Low Places - Garth Brooks
Sweet Child O' Mine - Guns 'n' Roses
You Oughta Know - Alanis Morisette
Livin' La Vida Loca - Ricky Martin
500 Miles - The Proclaimers

Paychokiller is my go-to karaoke song.

Which Valerie? DP says he needs to know before deciding how wrong you are 😂

Some excellent suggestions here.
I am especially thrilled by anything from my misspent youth, so Alanis was most welcome!

Heard it on the grapevine by Marvin Gaye.

You keep me hanging on by the Supremes.

Bruce Springstein Dancing in the Dark is my party piece

You’re the one that I want

I'm a believer
Daydream believer
Can't take my eyes off you

All good crowd pleasure (assuming the crowd is more than your DH and DD).

• crowd pleasers 🙄

What’s Going On - 4 Non Blondes

This sounds fun! Where do gou download them from and do you play them through the TV or what?

Don’t Go Breaking My Heart by Elton John & Kiki Dee.
Under Pressure by Queen and David Bowie.

respect (Erasure)
together in electric dreams
Africa by Toto

Mr Brightside
my guilty pleasure is also Mysterious Girl

Ultrastar Deluxe is the programme we use - run it through the laptop, TV and hifi speakers. It's cracking fun and the kids are getting word perfect on 90s classics which makes me happy. Although they get a bit too excited about songs with swears in!

The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.
Jackson by Johnny Cash and June Carter.
Here You Come Again by Dolly Parton.
All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You by Heart.

DP is nodding approvingly. I think you've found his jam (or his dad's jam, anyway. He's nobbut a lad, himself)

I'm a big fan of Jolene and You Don't Own Me.

Manic Monday

Like A Prayer
Delilah (naturally)
