Spinal Meningitis - Ween
That should clear the place out.
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.
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.
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!
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.
Instrumental version of Tequila
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.
I did this with “Everybody Hurts”. Everybody went outside.
"what what in the butt" with the dance, no censorship to save them when it's live.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.
I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.
It's a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.

Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.
Bloodhound Gang - A Lapdance Is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying
https://m.soundcloud.com/bloodhound-gang/a-lap-dance-is-so-much-better
I find it quite a thrill...
The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.
I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

Urgh just whatever I think might be fun at the time, it's always bad
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
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.
I touch myself.
That's a sing-along song in our local bar, lol!
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
auld lang syne
If you're in Scotland when you do this people will sing along with you

I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Long song with not a lot of singing.
The Smallest Church in Saint-Saens
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)
Somebody that i used to know
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
Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.
Tequila

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.
