Rule Britannia (and other karaoke classics)

Unread post by savvypaul »

I wouldn't sing (or want to sing) Rule Britannia. Firstly, I'm a dreadful singer, and secondly, this is 2020 not 1820. However, should a turn on the karaoke become unavoidable, I usually plump for reciting the mockney monologue in Blur's 'Parklife'.

What's your karaoke 'classic'?

Bohemian Rhapsody, but need to be very drunk. :guiness; :character-beavisbutthead:
I recall a rugby trip to Paris back in the 80s where the bar had a piano and I attempted to play it as well as sing.

Mostly classic rock 'n' roll, or Sultans of Swing, but I sang them with a live band. We had a "proper" singer who did the stuff that required actual singing. :lol:

Usually something by The Doors cos that is about my range and includes a bit of shouting now and again :grin: . Plus I know the words.
