...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)

Do you just…do karaoke of an evening?

Can't beat Like A Virgin

Aw amazing, op! Sounds brilliant!

Paradise By The Dashboard Light is (I have discovered through experience) too long for a good karaoke song - although if you're doing it at home then you would be OK.
Baccara - Yes, Sir I can Boogie
The Bangles - Walk Like An Egyptian
If you like Country then Crystal Gayle must be a good option - River Road, I'll Get Over You, Talking in Your Sleep....

These boots are made for walking.

Let me Entertain You.

Walk Like an Egyptian.

Unchained Melody.

Yup! Usually on Sundays.

DP and I have fun on our own when the kids are away, on the weekends when the kids have been with their dad it's a great way to all come back together with a singalong and set yourselves up for the week ahead.

And if we have friends over and too much rum has been consumed, well, the results are highly entertaining!

Some songs I enjoy belting out when they come on in the car include:

Gloria (Laura Brannigan)
Keep Me Hanging On (Kim Wilde)
Bohemian Like You (Dandy Warhols)
Only Happy When it Rains (Garbage)
Lola (Kinks)
Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up) (Flo & the Machine)
Take Me to the River and Once in a Lifetime and Psycho Killer (Talking Heads)
Open Your Heart (Human League)
Rusty Cage (Johnny Cash)
Resistance (Muse)
It Would Be So Nice and Comfortably Numb (Pink Floyd)
Ordinary World (New Order)
Gimme Shelter and Sympathy for the Devil (Stones)
I Can See for Miles and Magic Bus (Who)
Tragedy (Steps/Beegees)
Pride (U2)

Oh I love crystal gayle. I used to sing 'talking 8n your sleep' to DS in the middle of the night when he woke for feeds. "It's 3 o'clock in the morning, and it looks like it's gonna be another sleepless night..."

Not had any luck finding her songs on the downloads though sadly
