[lost-in-nj]

what could you sing???
I could sing this...

so many times.....
How Could an Angel break my heart......

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tjJsWeus5_E

I heard he sang a lullaby
I heard he sang it from his heart
When I found out thought I would die
Because that lullaby was mine
I heard he sealed it with a kiss
He gently kissed her cherry lips
I found that so hard to believe
Because his kiss belonged to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didnt he catch my falling star
I wish I didnt wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

I heard here face was white as rain
Soft as a rose that blooms in may
He keeps her picture in a frame
And when he sleeps he calls her name
I wonder if she makes him smile
The way he used to smile at me
I hope she doesnt make him laugh
Because his laugh belongs to me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didnt he catch my falling star
I wish I didnt wish so hard
Maybe I wish our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

Oh my soul is dying, its crying
Im trying to understand
Please help me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didnt he catch my falling star
I wish I didnt wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart
How could an angel break my heart

4. On a lighter note - Subterranean Homesick Blues

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAbtg9dz5P0


Johnny's in the basement
Mixing up the medicine
I'm on the pavement
Thinking about the government
The man in the trench coat
Badge out, laid off
Says he's got a bad cough
Wants to get it paid off
Look out kid
It's somethin' you did
God knows when
But you're doin' it again
You better duck down the alley way
Lookin' for a new friend
The man in the coon-skin cap
In the big pen
Wants eleven dollar bills
You only got ten

Maggie comes fleet foot
Face full of black soot
Talkin' that the heat put
Plants in the bed but
The phone's tapped anyway
Maggie says that many say
They must bust in early May
Orders from the D. A.
Look out kid
Don't matter what you did
Walk on your tip toes
Don't try "No Doz"
Better stay away from those
That carry around a fire hose
Keep a clean nose
Watch the plain clothes
You don't need a weather man
To know which way the wind blows

Get sick, get well
Hang around a ink well
Ring bell, hard to tell
If anything is goin' to sell
Try hard, get barred
Get back, write braille
Get jailed, jump bail
Join the army, if you fail
Look out kid
You're gonna get hit
But users, cheaters
Six-time losers
Hang around the theaters
Girl by the whirlpool
Lookin' for a new fool
Don't follow leaders
Watch the parkin' meters

Ah get born, keep warm
Short pants, romance, learn to dance
Get dressed, get blessed
Try to be a success
Please her, please him, buy gifts
Don't steal, don't lift
Twenty years of schoolin'
And they put you on the day shift
Look out kid
They keep it all hid
Better jump down a manhole
Light yourself a candle
Don't wear sandals
Try to avoid the scandals
Don't wanna be a bum
You better chew gum
The pump don't work
'Cause the vandals took the handles

I love to sing and Karaoke is fun :D

:hi:

[greenbriar]

14. me too

On our cruise they had Karaoke every night

but they only had it for 1 and 1/2 hours at a time so I only got to sing one song each night


People in the elevators and hallways told me I should have sang more but I didn't want to be a hog



one person said they were going to recommend that Karaoke be longer on their comment cards

12. Spanish Pipedream

By John Prine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9RBgfUvymM

She was a level-headed dancer on the road to alcohol
And I was just a soldier on my way to Montreal
Well she pressed her chest against me
About the time the juke box broke
Yeah, she gave me a peck on the back of the neck
And these are the words she spoke

Blow up your T.V. throw away your paper
Go to the country, build you a home
Plant a little garden, eat a lot of peaches
Try an find Jesus on your own

Well, I sat there at the table and I acted real naive
For I knew that topless lady had something up her sleeve
Well, she danced around the bar room and she did the hoochy-coo
Yeah she sang her song all night long, tellin' me what to do

Well, I was young and hungry and about to leave that place
When just as I was leavin', well she looked me in the face
I said "You must know the answer."
"She said, "No but I'll give it a try."
And to this very day we've been livin' our way
And here is the reason why

We blew up our T.V. threw away our paper
Went to the country, built us a home
Had a lot of children, fed 'em on peaches
They all found Jesus on their own

Lazy Diamond studded flunkies,
She has wisdom and knows what to do,
Sheeeee has meeeee and sheee has youuuuuuu . . . ..

16. Warmth of the Sun - Beach Boys

most likely

either that or Here Comes the Sun - George Harrison

[Pushed To The Left]

17. I sang (or screamed) "Wait and Bleed" by Slipknot at the California Democratic Convention!

Yes, I know I'm weird!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NW9hl2u0u0s

[Pierre.Suave]

19. Can I pick an instrumental song?

Seriously, I can NOT sing.

If I was forced to, I would pick the most obnoxious song I could in an effort to ensure I was never forced again.

Something along the lines of The Ballad of BIlbo Baggins...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFR-8NVjw-k

or this:

20. "Bright Lights"... a Matchbox Twenty song that i love

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzFX22QQfOE

She got out of town
On a railway New York bound
Took all except my name
Another alien on Broadway

There's some things in this world
You just can't change
Some things you can't see
Until it gets too late

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
and Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home

I got a hole in me now
Yeah, I got a scar I can talk about
She keeps a picture of me
In her apartment in the city
Some things in this world
Man, they don't make sense
Some things you don't need
Until they leave you
then they're things that you miss, you say

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
and Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home

Let that city take you in
Let that city spit you out
Let that city take you down
For God's sake turn around

Baby, baby, baby
When all your love is gone
Who will save me
From all I'm up against out in this world
and Maybe, maybe, maybe
You'll find something
That's enough to keep you
But if the bright lights don't receive you
You should turn yourself around
And come on home

Yeah, come on home

[Fountain79]

21. Sweet Caroline....and I wouldn't be forced!

I love making a fool of myself.

[Brigid]

22. "Old Time Rock 'n Roll."

Nothing like old school Bob Seager. :)

[bixente]

23. Hoppipola

It's a bit weird, but by and large I'm rubbish at comprehending lyrics. One exception is Hoppipola which is sung in Icelandic. I love it and have heard it many times over, so I feel myself quite competent at this particular recitation.

And nah, I don't really understand Icelandic.

[Inchworm]

24. Lil Red Riding Hood

It's a fun one :)

LI'L RED RIDING HOOD (Ronald Blackwell)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMUfsaESS58

Owoooooooo!

Who's that I see walkin' in these woods?
Why, it's Little Red Riding Hood.
Hey there Little Red Riding Hood,
You sure are looking good.
You're everything a big bad wolf could want.

Listen to me.

Little Red Riding Hood
I don't think little big girls should
Go walking in these spooky old woods alone.

Owoooooooo!

What big eyes you have,
The kind of eyes that drive wolves mad.
So just to see that you don't get chased
I think I ought to walk with you for a ways.

What full lips you have.
They're sure to lure someone bad.
So until you get to grandma's place
I think you ought to walk with me and be safe.

I'm gonna keep my sheep suit on
Until I'm sure that you've been shown
That I can be trusted walking with you alone.

Owoooooooo!

Little Red Riding Hood
I'd like to hold you if I could
But you might think I'm a big bad wolf so I won't.

Owoooooooo!

What a big heart I have-the better to love you with.
Little Red Riding Hood
Even bad wolves can be good.
I'll try to be satisfied just to walk close by your side.
Maybe you'll see things my way before we get to grandma's place.

Little Red Riding Hood
You sure are looking good
You're everything that a big bad wolf could want.

Owoooooooo! I mean baaaaaa! Baaa?

30. Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs were a HOOT.

Do ya remember the hearse they drove around in??? It's on the back of an album.

Do ya get your sweaters from Mohair Sam?

Did they have to clip a Wooly Bully for that hair?

:rofl:

[drmeow]

25. First I'd tell them I would only sing

if they could find Danielle Dax, The Living and Their Stillborn on the machine. I doubt they would. If they really forced me, I'd probably do something by Billy Joel (probably Only the Good Die Young), the Pet Shop Boys, or Yaz.

[flvegan]

26. I could easily do all three parts of Paul Revere

or Brass Monkey. And, do it well.

28. Why would I have to be forced? Wouldn't hurt me. Feel for those forced to listen!

Probably go with this one:
JOHNNY RZEZNIK LYRICS

"I'm Still Here"

I am a question to the world,
Not an answer to be heard.
All a moment that's held in your arms.
And what do you think you'd ever say?
I won't listen anyway…
You don't know me,
And I’ll never be what you want me to be.

And what do you think you'd understand?
I'm a boy, no, I'm a man..
You can take me and throw me away.
And how can you learn what's never shown?
Yeah, you stand here on your own.
They don't know me 'cause I'm not here.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same.
The don’t know me,
'Cause I’m not here.

And you see the things they never see
All you wanted, I could be
Now you know me, and I'm not afraid
And I wanna tell you who I am
Can you help me be a man?
They can't break me
As long as I know who I am

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can the world want me to change,
They’re the ones that stay the same.
They can’t see me,
But I’m still here.

They can’t tell me who to be,
‘Cause I’m not what they see.
And the world is still sleepin’,
While I keep on dreamin’ for me.
And their words are just whispers
And lies that I’ll never believe.

And I want a moment to be real,
Wanna touch things I don't feel,
Wanna hold on and feel I belong.
And how can they say I never change
They’re the ones that stay the same.
I’m the one now,
‘Cause I’m still here.

I’m the one,
‘Cause I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.
I’m still here.

[Aristus]

29. You don't have to force me; I'm a born show-off. I can do "The Rainbow Connection"

in the voices of all the Muppets. (All of the major ones, anyway.)

Nothing shouts "nerd" quite like that... B-)

[Manifestor_of_Light]

31. I love to sing too!!!! Born ham here!! Yo!!!

And a trained musician as well, which makes me dangerous.

[Broken_Hero]

32. hmm, a tough one....

I'll go with One by Metallica, or Fade to Black....:D

[ulysses]

33. three dog night, never been to spain

I think I can still carry off those high notes. And I was born in Oklahoma. :)

[MissMillie]

35. you don't have to force me, I sing karaoke all the time

And the list of songs I've tried is far too long to post here.

[AngryAmish]

36. California Man or Surrender

Those are actually hard to sing well because Robin Zander is such an amazing singer...and I can't sing.

[PVnRT]

37. London Calling

or, if the kareoke person is truly awesome, "Police Truck" by the Dead Kennedys.

[datasuspect]

38. "dead or alive" by bon jovi

it's in my karaoke repertoire.

[RainDog]

39. heart of glass

(an octave lower? different key? maybe I should stick to The Tide Is High... way easy.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WDw0Im9xvJs

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

In between
What I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine
Love is so confusing there's no peace of mind
If I fear I'm losing you it's just no good
You teasing like you do

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out had a heart of glass
Seemed like the real thing, only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Once I had a love and it was divine
Soon found out I was losing my mind
It seemed like the real thing but I was so blind
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

Lost inside
Adorable illusion and I cannot hide
I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside
We coulda made it cruising, yeah

Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light

Once I had a love and it was a gas
Soon turned out to be a pain in the ass
Seemed like the real thing only to find
Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind

40. "Anti-Procrastination Song" - Stormtroopers Of Death

[Guava Jelly]

42. That or Diamonds and rust(the extended version)

I haven't listened to SOD in years..

[Tommy_Carcetti]

41. "Don't Stop Believing" by Journey

I would have the requisite Family Guy clip posted here, but because Fox is such Nazis about scrubbing all Family Guy content from Youtube, all I have is the reference.

[applegrove]

43. I can sing one Fleetwood Mac song off of rumours. Dreams. And that is the only

song i can hit all the notes on. I think it is called Dreams. Stevie Nicks.
