That's the one. And the incredibly shrill voice, on that record at least.

Last Karaoke I went to I sang:

Rhinestone Cowboy
Two Out of Three ain't Bad
Bat out of hell

As you can probably tell I'm a bit of a Meatloaf fan.

Classic Rock

Darkness - I believe in a thing called love (always fun to hear the guys trying to hit the high notes)

Meatloaf - Paradise by the dashboard light - gives me time to go to the bar and to the ladies room as it goes on for nearly 10 mins.

Queen - anything. Just anything. The 'I wanna be and think I can sing like Freddie Mercurys' are pure class.

Robbie Williams - Angels (please stop now, everyone does it, pick something original)

Men trying to sing anything by Abba. It's too high for you, guys. Dont do it!

As a regular attendee of various karaokes I think the most common songs are;

1.Angels - totally agree with Buffy there.
2.Never Ever - All Saints. Brilliant when sung well - awful when virtually talked by drunk gaggles of women
3.Sweet Caroline. Karaoke I went to on Friday there were 4 Neil Diamond songs in a row. Wrong.
4.Whole Again - Atomic Kitten - with rude substitutions and comedy regional accents in the talky bit.
5.Valerie - Amy Winehouse - very common at the moment so I've stopped singing it. Wouldn't wish to be typical lol.

My personal top 5...

1.Warwick Avenue - Duffy. My new favourite.
2.Sweet Child O Mine - Sheryl Crow. My karaoke nemesis always sings the original version of this after I've done this and shoots me evil looks as she does so.
3.Hero - Mariah Carey. For competitions.
4.It's All Coming Back To Me Now - Celine Dion. My all time favourite and as long as two songs so it's like cheating lol.
5.Who Knew - Pink. Any Pink actually.

Thinking about writing a book about the karaoke circuit - you do meet some characters...love it.

My last songs I did was:-
1, Honey - Bobby Goldboro
2, Kingston Town - UB40
3, Legs Get Rocked - Def leppard
4, One Piece At A Time - Johnny Cash
5, Beauty School Dropout - Frankie Avalon

Strange songs to do I know but apparently I do them all well specially the last 2 and UB40

My top 5

Elton John - Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me.
Bryan Adams - Heaven
Lone Star - Walking in Memphis (far better than the original)
Meatloaf/Marion Raven - All coming back to me now!!! (Far better than the Sealion Dieon Version!! Sorry Absinth!!)
Keith Urban - Memories of Me

Must learn some new ones...any suggestions??? (like opening a can of worms!!!)

If you like Bryan Adams, try that one from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Everything I do.

I sang it once, and it was rubbish, doing a song sung by a Canadian in a broad Yorkshire accent just doesn't sound right IMO.

Sang that with a band I was in years ago!!! Great song but it was played to death!!! Might give it a go at the Moorfoot on Wednesday.
