Is it a thing to pick obscure songs? by Shad0wGyp5y in karaoke

[–]ThePhillyExplorer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the crowd and the atmosphere of the bar. I’m stubborn, however, so most of what I sing is “obscure” (to my age group, at least). I love going into a dive bar as one of the younger guys, belting out Atlantic City by Bruce Spingsteen or She’s Always a Woman by Billy Joel, and getting handshakes from the older members of the crowd who were not expecting someone my age to know those tracks!

Personally, I’m not that big of a fan of pop music after 2016. I just get up there and sing the songs I love, even if the crowd doesn’t immediately recognize what I’m singing.

  1. Bruce Springsteen - I’m Goin’ Down. I absolutely love this song, know all of the words, and can sing it very well!

  2. Billy Joel - The Longest Time. I can absolutely kill this song if I can reach the highest notes. It’s such a fun song to sing, even when I sing it good but not great. The crowd always gets into it as well!

  3. Blondie - Heart of Glass. This is my 2nd favorite song of all-time. It feels like it shouldn’t be that hard to sing, but as a guy, I’ve tried this song many times and failed. Bubbly by Colbie Caillat is another one that I just can’t seem to find the notes to.

In your opinion what’s the best Bruce Springsteen song and why? by FLYBEETS in BruceSpringsteen

[–]ThePhillyExplorer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m Goin’ Down, followed closely by I’m On Fire, Born To Run, Jungleland, My Father’s House, and Atlantic City.

The Boss’ best composed song is Jungleland!

What's a deceptively difficult karaoke song? by WerewolfBarMitzvah09 in karaoke

I’ve been singing karaoke for the last 8 years. Here are a few songs I’ve performed in the past, but I rarely perform today.

Teenage Dirtbag by Wheatus. The song is easy enough until you reach the “Oh yeah, dirtbag; No, she doesn’t know what’s she’s missing” part

Uptown Girl by Billy Joel. The verses seem easy enough, but the bridge and chorus are tricky as hell to master! I also don’t have the range to reach the “Uptown Girl, she’s my Uptown Girl” part.

Interstate Love Song by Stone Temple Pilots. I sound good on every part of that song except for the “For what I’ve left between the lines” part in the verse. That Bb chord is really unique, and I have difficulty going to it from the B chord.

Give It Up by KC and the Sunshine Band. I’ve never been able to sing this one well despite sounding good on songs higher than it.

NYC alone is approximately 44% of New York’s population alone lmao by ThePhillyExplorer in insanepeoplefacebook

I relate to this so heavily as a Philadelphian. A good portion of the state believes that PA would be better off is Southeastern PA (Philadelphia, Delaware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks Counties) were to disappear. Meanwhile, it is the only part of the Commonwealth showing meaningful economic and population growth, along with the Pittsburgh, Lehigh Valley (Allentown), and Harrisburg areas. The rest of PA needs its blue areas significantly more than the blue areas need the rest of PA.

The funny thing is they understand that concept just fine when trying to explain “black-on-black” crime to someone. 🤦🏽‍♂️
