i'm with you on that one.
brand new key was pretty boring and that shoop song is excruciatingly terrible. let's get married should have won. would work in most places and is definitely surprising

Try to find someone who can actually sing the lyrics in real time, even with the monitor

"Turn it down a little bit, or turn it down flat" is one of my favorite lines for some reason.

Brand New Key should be docked for its inclusion in Boogie Nights, but maybe just because I was at an age when that came out I saw it rescued from cheesy obscurity to cheesy hipsterism. Man, girls loved to sing that.

This song groooves. I think it could go over pretty damn well. It's also one that lends itself to backup singers which always adds in entertainment value. There's a good amount of #passion in the vocal too.

I wish chymechowder were still around, because he'd appreciate this:

ya i love michael mcdonald (and impersonating him) and honestly think he boosted that song's ranking by like 4 spots.

A friend and I were looking through another friend's (horrible music taste) ipod library last year or so, and he had one Christopher Cross song. We both agreed it was *probably* "Sailing", but I got him to give me $40 to $30 that it was Ride Like The Wind (and give me $10 if it was anything else).

I lost $30. ****ing Sailing.

I didn't know we were supposed to pick something to please the 80 year olds at a karaoke bar. Like I didn't even know karaoke bars existed outside of North Korea. I will take 7th.

Easy lyrically for singers.
I ummed and ahed between the two, but I think Road to Nowhere is a bit too repetitive for karaoke personally.

first, lol double spoilers after bitching about them for multiple games they do make for a better reveal.. anyway

I actually don't think I know this song, which there are only a few in this category. I think the vocal is one that would make for an alright karaoke song with the right level of skill. That said I don't think this song would go over very well, given its tempo and relative obscurity.

I def need to change my entry when you don't know that song.

The "relative obscurity" of Love Is All Around might not bode well for the "song I've loved but forgotten" category

That was one of the most overplayed songs in the 90's afaik.

At least it looks like I'm going to get a higher chance of winning something

Literally had no idea what to go for in the next round. If I hate a song it's for good reason, so just went for something I really hate. Might not be the best point scoring tactic.

The correct strategy for the next category is obviously to go for a Hey Jude. The category might as well have been "a Hey Jude song".

Well.... I don't think that jonnyd knows my next song - so...

Using this strategy I came pretty close to submitting this or this

That might've worked. Not what jonny thinks of them. I think my pick is pretty elite which I expect will show in the amount of disagreements and flying lawn mowers. My entire entry is a pretty solid jimmy rustler iirc
