Top 5 Fridays


h1 August 26th, 2005
On Monday, I decided it would be fun to institute some kind of regular feature. A lot of my favorite blogs have them (Highdeas, I Wonder Mondays…), and it seems like such a fun thing to do. So I got to thinking… what kind of recurring ideas do I have? And it came to me, suddenly, on Wednesday. 

I love to make lists. Love it.

So I decided I’d have a day of list-making. I thought about Top 10 Tuesdays, since that is WAY more alliterative, but quite frankly, making a top 10 list requires way more work than creating a top 5 list. And so, Top 5 Fridays has been born.

Aren’t you all lucky?

So here goes:
 

TOP 5 CHICK KARAOKE SONGS EVER
and I do mean EVER….

5. I Love Rock & Roll, by Miss Pat Benatar. Seriously, this song is great whether sung solo or in a large, noisy, group. While all karaoke sounds better when wasted, this song really works when you’re drunk, because you feel so very rock & roll.

4. Me and Bobby McGee, by Janis Joplin. SO much fun to sing to. End of story.

3. Hold On, by Wilson Philips. Show me a girl that doesn’t belt this song out whenever they hear it, and I’ll show you a girl that’s never hit a rough patch in her life. This song should only be sung if you have a group of three though.

2. Kiss, by Prince. You know that scene in Pretty Woman when Julia is singing in the bathtub? Well she’s singing this song for a reason - it’s fun, sexy, and irresistibly cool. Perfect for Karaoke. Best complemented by freakish-Prince-style dancing.

1. Here I Go Again, by Whitesnake. This is the best power ballad of all time. Best when sung alone (obviously), in front of appreciative fans that will yell occasionally, “Whitesnake!”

  2. You forgot one song: I Touch Myself. Otherwise the list was great. I’m glad I finally found out you have a blog - it’s a good one and I’ll def continue visiting!

  3. Dave! I almost put in I Touch Myself instead of Kiss - the only reason I didn’t is that I’ve never actually sung that song in public, and think I’d probably be embarassed to.

    I can see Alexis singing it…
