      Lol, I might need to add this to my rotation of fuck this crowd music to play on the touch tunes at a bar. I’ve cleared a few bars out playing the hulk Hogan theme song, the 30 minute pink Floyd song Echoes, and previously the uncensored 2 live crew song doo wah Diddy.

      They took the latter off the whole ass app probably because of me. The song opens with “I met this bitch standing on the block, she’ll suck on my dick and I’ll buy her a rock.” All to the tube of doo wah Diddy. Boomers get all excited about it and then get all salty. They don’t make em like they used to.

      It’s a dirty job, but someone’s gotta do it.

    If you want one to bring the room to life, the answer is “I Want It That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. It kills 100% of the time–everyone will sing along. You can’t help it.

    I’m playing the Doom theme and fighting my way to the exit as I am clearly in hell.

    Bruce Springsteen. I’m not a fan, but it’s the only thing my 3-note vocal range can sing. That’s three notes, and not three octaves. I barely inflect enough not to be confused with a robot.

      I went to a karaoke night one where there were actual talented singers. There was a lady who did this song, nailing all the high notes.

      Her friend followed up with Beyonce - Love on top, and nailed every key change.

      Not to be out done, one of their BF’s/Husbands followed that With Bill Withers - Lovely Day, and held all the notes…

      My friends and I left. We did not know it was that type of party.

        The first time I was at a bar that had karaoke, this dude went up and did ice ice baby. As soon as he starts, five buddies run up there and they all did THE dance, the entire way through, 100% on point. It was amazing.

    Even Flow by Pearl Jam. It’s a blast and always gets a laugh when you make it a little goofy. The only hard part is the ~one minute guitar solo. But that’s a great time to throw in a “What’s up (local city)!? Having a good night!?”

    Also it’s fun to sort of shout “I know you know the words!” near the start because Eddie Vedder (the lead singer) is difficult to understand.
