Karaoke Forums

Discussion in my previous post has lead me to this one, and again, it may be a very popular thread, but I'm a newbie, so I'd like to hear all your input (and get all the other newbies involved).

Songs I hear most here in southern NH are
"Wanted Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi
"Turn the Page" Bob Seger
"Crazy" Patsy Cline
"Me and Bobby McGee" Janis Joplin
"Bring Me to Life" Evanescence
"Black Velvet" Alannah Myles

to name a few.

Northern Nevada: "He Stopped Loving Her Today"
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
"He Stopped Loving Her Today"
"Hey Good Lookin'"
"Four Walls"
"Turn The Page"
"Family Tradition"
"Make the World Go Away"
"Lucille" (Kenny Rogers, not Little Richard although we tried substituting it once.)
Anything by Elvis

For the ladies: "These Boots Are Made for Walkin'"
"Where The Boys Are/Chains/Locomotion/Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow"
"Sweet Dreams Are Made of These"
"I've Never Been To Me"
We don't have many ladies which is part of our problem.

Duets: You guessed it.

Most requested by the audience for us to do (if we sing): "Hot Hot Hot" (me) and "Wildfire" (the boyfriend).

If you are short on gals, there is a good guy-guy duet that I like to sing if I can find a willing partner - If I had A Million Dollars by the Barenaked Ladies.

Yup, we are revisiting the golden oldies. But I like the fact you have brought it up. If we can get a most popular thing going, I can start building up the book I am going to print. It will contain what I hope are 4000 of the most popular songs, with all the rest relegated to:

Beatles, The *

* Other songs available from this artist, see host.

That will allow me to print books more often, using less paper, with higher quality, for less money. I Already have a list of 1400 from songs actually sang at my shows (from Compuhost history). But I would like to add some more that may not have crossed my list.

For my very country area, tops has to be:

Classics:

Black Velvet
Coal Miner's Daughter
Crazy
Family Tradition
Fancy
Folsom Prison Blues
Harper Valley PTA
He Stopped Loving Her Today
Hit Me With Your Best Shot
It's Only Make Believe
Kentucky Rain
Long Black Train
Long Haired Country Boy
Redneck Woman
Ring of Fire
Suds In The Bucket
These Boots
Total Eclipse Of The Heart
Turn The Page
When You Say Nothing At All (female)

New songs:

Gunpowder & Lead
In Color
Our Song
Stay

Duets:

Picture
It's Your Love
Whiskey Lullaby

Very interesting how different songs are popular in different areas. Half these songs people are listing are one's I never here done.

Red Neck Woman, Our Song, and Hit Me With Your Best Shot are some others that I hear a lot here in NH.

you think it's weird here in the states, wait until the overseas folks chime in. Some of their pop songs I've either never heard of, or in many cases, are oldie-smoldies to us!

Some British groups have horrid success in their own country, yet do well over here. Alan Parsons Project comes immediately to mind. I was over at Zoom and Sunfly requesting their tracks, and they're going "WHO?" I'm going, guys, they're BRITISH! !

Same thing... many of our seventies and eighties artists are having great successes overseas!

Demographics plays a lot in it too. My own room is made up of mostly non-country millennials. "Santeria" and "Bytch" have consistently been number one and two with them since I started three years ago.

I get songs sung a lot that practically no one else in this forum does. These are some that are sung all the time by a wide variety of singers who don't really know each other, so I'm not singling out things sung by just one or two regulars every night:

Torn
Apologize
My Immortal
Enter Sandman
Down With The Sickness
You Oughta Know
She Hates Me
Anything by Pink, with "Who Knew" really hot right now.
Anything by No Doubt, with "Spiderwebs" and "Don't Speak" number one and two.
I Kissed A Girl is still hanging in there. It will be around.

Plus karaoke standards:

I Touch Myself
Turn The Page
I Hate Myself For Loving You
Desperado
Love Shack
What's Up
Picture of course. Can't get away from it.

A few country things:

Stay
Before He Cheats
Ol' Red
Redneck Woman
Dixie Chicks, with "Goodbye Earl" and "Landslide" the usuals.

I may add more after I wake up. :sleepy: There's no emoticon for that is there?

Walk - Pantera
Bodies - Drowning Pool
Inhale - Stone Sour
Bother - Seether
Gunpowder & Lead - Miranda Lambert
Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood
In Color

Just for a few that can be counted on almost nightly.
