So recently, my friends have been discussing playing a game of Karaoke Russian Roulette after reading an article on Cracked.com. The game is essentially to force your friends to sign terrible, terrible, karaoke songs for your enjoyment. Here are the quick rules: 1. Show up at karaoke bar with a group of friends who are all willing to play. Should be more than 3. 2. Everyone chooses a gender-neutral name like Jamie or Pat, writes down a terrible song and hands it to the DJ. Don't tell any of your friends what song you chose. All you need to share is the gender neutral name. 3. Sometime in between handing your songs to the DJ and actually singing, you put everyone's fake name in a hat and draw amongst the participants. When the name you draw gets called, you jump up on stage and sing, without being aware of what you're actually singing. And yes, occasionally you'll draw your own name and have to sing the terrible song you intended for someone else. 4. The song has to be famous and well-known to an extent, no obscure crap. Everyone knows "Poker Face", not everyone knows "Judas". 5. You are not allowed to announce to the bar the song is a joke. You must sing the song with sincerity no matter how ridiculous it is - no hilarious renditions where you sing in a silly voice. You must finish the song. 6. If a duet is chosen, you're singing both the male and female parts. If there's rapping, you're rapping. 7. You win by powering through your song and not making a complete rear end of yourself. So, I ask you goons for terrible karaoke songs to force upon my friends. Mostly guys, but a few girls may participate. In my limited research I've come up with the following: Untitled (How Could This Happen to Me?) - Simple Plan http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQ7oqmikZDQ Wannabe - Spice Girls http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJLIiF15wjQ My Heart Will Go On - Celine Dion http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saalGKY7ifU Anything by Nickelback http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BB0DU4DoPP4 You Oughta Know by Alanis http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iTWtNveJxc Beautiful by Christina Aguleria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfyFTzZDMM Okay goons, do your worst. Make sure to only suggest well-known songs even if you'd think it'd be really funny to sing some random kpop song. If you've heard it get regular play on the radio at some point, it should be okay.

My friends and I just put each others' names in with random songs we know. I got Hit Me Baby One More Time by Britney Spears and rocked that poo poo.

Love is a Battlefield by Pat Benetar. I always sang this in Karaoke. Sexual Healing by Marvin Gay if only because it's like 4 minutes of you not being close to as good as Marvin Gaye.

My personal favorite karaoke song is Total Eclipse of the Heart, but that's because I own at singing that song. e: when I'm drunk. Read: not at all. Anything by Cher or Barbara Streisand is hilarious to make other people sing.

Huh, we call this Ultimate Karaoke Battle Challenge Tournament (for some reason). 1. Name and five bucks go in hat 2. Theme is announced (90s, gender bender, starts with F) 3. Names are drawn from hat. 4. Write down song assignment and own name and put back in hat. 5. Referee (that one friend you have that is too big of a wiener to ever sing ever) puts songs on sheet and tips KJ all those $5s so that the songs go in order 6. You sing your song. 7. You guess (to ref) who assigned you your song. 8. Once it's all each player is given three poker chips to give out to their favorites (white for 1 point/3rd, blue for 2 points/2nd, red for 3 points/1st). 9. You also get two points if you guess who assigned your song to you, and one point for each person that guesses you assigned them a song you didn't. 10. Winner doesn't buy anymore drinks that night. Last time we did it the theme was movie songs, and I think I had to sing Man of Constant Sorrow which was awesome. I assigned my victim 525,600 Minutes. Also lemme derail here to list the songs that everyone thinks are hilarious to do or assign at karaoke, but should be considered felonies: Rapper's Delite, American Pie, Killing Me Softly, Around the World.

Aerosmith's "Love In An Elevator" is an excellent awful karaoke song. Not only is the range ridiculous, but the singer will occasionally find themselves singing the harmony part instead of the melody.

Rock Band has taught me that no one can do the shouty bit in One Step Closer by Linkin Park. You'll think you can, but really, you can't.

The trick is the referee thing, they keep it all on track. We've also been doing it long enough now to have most people shake out the "lol it's a girl song" thing. That's amateur hour, bud. (yeah yeah, I recognize that karaoke is designed to be amateur) theironjef fucked around with this message at Feb 27, 2013 around 23:19 |
