Now I would have thought the "KITTY Cat Song" (SORRY) would have been on the list. Oh well That's cool

Sex On Fire, Someone Like You, Love Shack, Summer Nights & Don’t Stop Believing – still pretty active @ my show, the rest lost steam a long time ago. :lol:

National Karaoke Week? I did not know we have our own special recognition week celebrated every fourth week of April. I’ll let my singers know this weekend. I’ll ask my boss to maybe raffle a few free drinks and/or appetizers to show appreciation to our patrons. Thanks, jd.

Me neither.

Well, about 10 years ago, I'd say that 10 of those 15 songs were very popular at the Karaoke shows I attended. Nowadays, I'd say 3 of those songs have kept their popularity amongst the troops, and those would be:
Love Shack
Summer Nights
Born in the USA

Ten of the fifteen have never been sung at either of my venues, and the remainder have only appeared infrequently.

Most of those aren't sung at mine either, 5 (the ones mentioned in Brians) are done fairly regular.

"Santeria" is the National Anthem around here--well, tied with "Simple Man." But of the list, Torn and Sex On Fire have been done here and there with Someone Like You, Baby Got Back, Creep, Love Shack, I Love Rock And Roll, Black Velvet and Summer Nights done regularly. I've only had "Don't Stop Believing" done maybe two times in several years.

In my area, only Summer Nights gets sung fairly regularly. Heard a couple of the others maybe once or twice, most I don't recall anyone doing.

Billie Jean (I do the Alien Ant Farm version on rare occasion, never heard anyone do the MJ version ever)
Say It Isn't So (never heard it at any karaoke show)
Torn (only heard it twice ever that I can recall, once was someone who had a friend do the Sign Language version a la "Karaoke for the Deaf")



Sex On Fire (about twice a month)
Someone Like You (almost every week, but I can feel it fading quickly now)
Creep (I do this every couple of months....no one else tho)
Like a Prayer (1-2 times a month)
Born in the U.S.A (never heard it at any karaoke show....for that matter....don't recall hearing ANY Bruce Springsteen track at any karaoke show - does not include songs written by Springsteen)
Baby Go Back (every couple of weeks someone does it....I do the Richard Cheese version of it on request only now)
Love Shack (I know it will happen when certain types of groups come in. Occasionally I get roped into doing the Fred Schneider part with some infrequent regulars)
I Love Rock and Roll (surprisingly rare....actually wish it would get sung more often)
Santeria (pretty regularly, I do it on slow nights near closing on occasion)
Black Velvet (Also surprisingly rare. Great Song. I have done it a few times myself but not in a long while. maybe next weekend)
Summer Nights (Great Song, probably 1-2 times a month)

I didn't see "Picture" on that list (see OP).

Is Born in the USA even the most karaokied Springsteen song? And how did My Way not make the list? Sorry, I think they drew a few of those out of a 10 gallon hat.

I rarely get Springsteen nor My Way sung at my shows.

Re: My way. I beg to differ, jd. :) My Way by Frank no longer as popular in the Filipino karaoke community as you might think. Matter of fact hardly any Filipino will sing that song due to a number of disputes that arose as a result. It just got so boring being sung so frequently they'd rather not sing it so as not to invite trouble such as verbal insults, even physical bodily harm. :lol:

Yes, I’m speaking from experience, not that I’ve been in that position but just from my observation. Sorry for the brief interruption, back to our regular programming, folks :wink: Thanks.
