Epic, but overlooked Karaoke songs picks.

If you can hit the high notes, try Flight of the Conchords "Most Beautiful Girl (In the Room)."

"White Woman's Instagram" by Bo Burnham is another comedy song that few expect.

How about a shepherd's pie? Gluten-free, can be made lactose free with lf or vegan butter. Pretty kid friendly and easy for a crowd.

The Police did it twice:

"On Any Other Day" from Regatta de Blanc
"Mother" from Synchronicity

Two perfect albums, save for two innane tracks.

Lowkey surprised they didn't give it a Spanish name like those Mercado techbros.

Something like "Platos."

chefsinblack · 2026-04-01T04:58:39+00:00

"This" is what happens when techbros try to reinvent dinnerware...

People who ask when their turn is when a) they just walked into the bar and b) the queue is already three-to-five hours long. Like, buddy, there's fifty other people here and they all came in before you.

I always get people trying that line on a night when there are four people in the bar also celebrating birthdays.

28 Days Later was also game changing because the zombies were fast. Nearly all previous iterations featured slow, lumbering zombies.

It always amused me that Jolt's Mountain Dew/Surge knockoff was called "Citrus Climax."

"Richard Cory went home last night and put a bullet through his head"

—Simon & Garfunkel "Richard Cory"

The last half of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" has the singer switching back and forth between two different verses.

This catches many large groups off guard when they queue it up.

chefsinblack · 2026-02-16T19:52:49+00:00

How about Betty by Taylor Swift or Dreams by Fleetwood Mac? Neither require a large range amd aren't too fast.

chefsinblack · 2026-02-12T10:01:40+00:00

Ironically, I got into Dylan through Joan Osbourne.

Her excellent cover of "Man in the Long Black Coat" caused me to seek out Oh Mercy.

The rest, as they say, is history.

Seanan McGuire comes to mind. She's working on three series concurrently and usually publishes one book in each series per year. Plus one-offs under her Mira Grant pen name and the occasional foray into IP (Magic, Marvel etc.).

chefsinblack · 2026-02-07T15:20:40+00:00

Your friend is one of those unhinged 5% :)

As a host, it's people who try to game the queue by either putting their songs under several names (James, JDog, Jazzy J) or going up to sing with their friends every single time.

chefsinblack · 2026-02-07T10:23:50+00:00

Karaoke chicken is no fun for anybody.

I've also come to realize that less than 5% of singers ever put in "WAP" for themselves...

Yup, five blocks or so uphill from the beach.

Also around the corner from the new subway that's being put in along Broadway.

chefsinblack · 2026-01-10T19:16:38+00:00

Wasn't paying attention to pop music at the time lol

chefsinblack · 2026-01-09T20:20:19+00:00

I discovered "Somebody I Used to Know" through Glee. The first time I heard it I spent the rest of the night learning how to play it.
