      I usually try to sing well (even though I'm bad at it)
      However I also like to choose satiric songs which

      So a bit of both worlds for me, I suppose

        Depends on the song and my current mood.

        Like I don't think I would ever pour my heart and soul into a Bloodhound Gang song.

          Good singing is fun for everyone. Bad singing is funny for everyone. Mediocre singing is close enough for everyone to know what you tried to do, and far enough away for everyone to know you missed. I'm a mediocre singer, I lean into my weaknesses in karaoke.

                I'm certainly not going to be able to sing with my whole heart and soul while also maintaining an erection. Singing takes a lot of oxygen.

                  You absolutely should. Shaggy is another excellent choice. Or be that person who sings the Macarena.

                    The two are not mutually exclusive! My go to song is Even Flow by Pearl Jam. The only rough part is the 58 second guitar solo. I know it's 58 seconds because sometimes the screen mentions it lol. I usually just say "what's up (city), how y'all doing tonight?" But I need to come up with something longer to fill the space. Or just sing the guitar songs.

                        I've managed to clear out a bar with my bad singing. It's not always funny for everyone.

                          the usual format is serious and fast songs then slowly moves to somewhat serious ballads and drunken slurred lyrics.

                          all in good time.

                            I would rather be dipped in a vat of molten lava than go to karaoke, so... Sarcastically, I guess?

                                Last time it was serious. It is questionable if it was actually karaoke, though, as they did not have the soundtrack in the system, so we just sang a capella on that otherwise karaoke event.

                                  Usually we sing with our hearts and even if we don’t know the lyrics, we just sing anyway for the fun of it 😅

                                    guitar solo starts

                                    "Alright, all the Guitar Hero guys knew this part was coming up.. how y'all doing tonight, (city)? Yeah, this is the part where I just stand here, so, if you need to make a trip to the bathroom or visit the lovely bar staff, now's the time!"

                                    Whenever I'm put on the spot in front of a large group of people I like to put on a emcee/ announcer type character, usually fills the gap and gets some laughs

                                      If it's a more private group, like karaoke at a friend's house, I typically give background information on the song. "This song was written underneath Seattle's Space Needle and is about the homeless." It would sort of ruin the vibe at a bar so I don't do that lol.
