Had a woman invite me out to karaoke, but I don't think we're compatible long term so I'm taking notes from this thread.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Woman Is The N***** Of The World
(Although anything by John Lennon would probably work lol)
Wtf? I have never liked the Beatles, I find most of their catalog grating to listen to, and most of their lyrics either nonsense or fart sniffing. This one, though it's a Lennon and Yoko, has to be the pinnacle of sniffing their own farts.
Yeah, even ignoring the obvious issue with the lyrics, it's a dog shit song.
In the UK any of the below should do the trick, with the added bonus of possibly getting you stabbed and/ or glassed:
Gary Glitter - My Gang
Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg
Lostprophets - Last Train Home
"what what in the butt" with the dance, no censorship to save them when it's live.
The ISIS song
I did this with “Everybody Hurts”. Everybody went outside.
“Memories” from Cats
the cure - killing an arab
Windmills of Your Mind - Noel Harrison
Or you can kill the vibes despite the song. Just start sobbing in the middle of Space Jam.
The real issue is finding a song that they might actually have that would sour the mood. GG Alin's "work" are all easy picks, but nowhere is going to have that available for karaoke (and if they do, run).
Live - Lightning Crashes
People would get into it, but it would definitely kill the vibes before then.
The Mash movie theme song...
Through early morning fog, I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless (suicide) It brings on many changes (changes) And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works it's way on in The pain grows stronger, watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be?" And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?" Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please
Such Small Hands - La Dispute
I think I saw you in my sleep, DARLING
La Dispute would get my up my guy.
Gummi bears theme song
I don't know how you got to that anwer, this would go hard as balls
I'm killing the "hyped up" vibes and getting everyone to cozy comfyville
Could also do The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh theme, another actually good song that reverts the crowd to sleepy five-year-olds
I like the cut of your jib
A Passion Play.
The entire thing. Including the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles.
(Side note: I love this album, but as a karaoke performance I can't imagine it'd go down well)
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Long song with not a lot of singing.
I looked for this to upvote it, but y’all ain’t listed it yet so here goes:
The Drugs Don’t Work by The Verve
Africa
Sinead
"Peace and Love (Blind Man's Penis)" by John Trubee
