I've been thinking.. for once not about sex... with the MidwestFest wednesday night karoke coming up on the 25th...

For any of you Karookeholics out there, what are your "Signature Songs" You know, the one everyone wants you to sing. Also, what are your favorite songs to sing?

I'll start, I've always considered "Wanted, Dead or Alive" as my sig song, but I'm always getting requests for "Paradise by the Dashboard Light". I enjoy both of them imensely, by my favorites, by category are:
Love Songs: "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" and "The Rose"
Rock: "Sweet Home Alabama" and "Sweet Emotion"
Country: "Roll On (Eighteen Wheeler)"
Humor: "The Streak" and "Uneasy Rider"

The only song I've ever sung at karaoke was Bonnie Raitt's 'Something to Talk About'. It worked!

Hmmmm. Here's the short list: ;)

*Anything by Olivia Newton-John, but especially "Let Me Be There" or "I Honestly Love You." (I never really have any male help to sing any of the "Grease" duets.)

*Definitely "Dancing Queen," every time. Occasionally another ABBA song.

*I've been known to get the urge to sing, "Billy, Don't Be a Hero," (gotta love one-hit wonders), "I Think I Love You," (by that ever-famous Patridge-type family), Janet Jackson's "Again," "Close to You," by the Carpenters, Coven's "One Tin Soldier," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (but only the SHORT version), Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," Pat Benatar's "Shadows of the Night," and, at my last karaoke outing, got up the nerve to sing the Divinyls' "I Touch Myself." Thinking about doing that again, and building up the nerve to sing Oleta Adams' "Get Here if You Can."

*Anything else that strikes me as I look through the karaoke book...or that I can be talked into. :D
