That's how hard rockin and straight up 70's it is. I'm putting together my favorite gritty, heavy, shameless, screeching, fuck-it-all songs from the good old days, before MTV , before hairspray interfered with rock n' roll, back when men's mustaches were long and beautiful and their athletic shorts were very, very short. Its the time that Jim Carrey pays tribute to at the Oscars that one year when he dressed up like Jim Morrison and asks the production studio if it would kill them to play a little more Foghat. "
If you have a penchant for hard 70s rock, please take my recommendations or add your favorite to the list!
1. Hair of the Dog - Nazareth
2. All Right Now - Free
3. Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
4. Stranglehold - Ted Nugent
5. Rocky Mountain Way - Joe Walsh
6. Slow Ride - Foghat
7. Stone Cold Crazy - Queen
I'm making my brother and his wife a "karaoke hits" mix for Christmas, because they both LOVE karaoke. I am still not sure how I'm going to do it, but I think I can use my mixer to turn down the vocals and re-record songs. Anybody tried that before?
Ok, and heres's my list of songs so far. I hope they'll want to dive right in and start singing to these but its hard to say what makes someone want to sing. Nostalgia may have a lot to do with it, or number of Fuzzy Navels consumed. I would WELCOME ANY SUGGESTIONS for killer karaoke singalongs.
If You Like Pina Coladas - Barry Manilow
All By Myself - Eric Carman
We Didn't Start the Fire - Billy Joel
Charlie Brown - The Coasters
Pennsylvania Polka - Frankie Yankovic (a song for people who like the movie Groundhogs Day)
Sometimes When We Touch - Dan Hill
Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Gold Digger - Kanye West
Bitches Ain't Shit - Ben Folds
Mr. Roboto - Styx
Closing Time - Matchbox Twenty
I would also be happy to mail any karaoke fans a copy of the mix when I'm done! Let me know.

haha i always wanted to keep a running list of songs eligible for good kareoke times. may do an upcoming post on that actually. of course the reason i need a list is bc i never remember good ones :) sorry to be little help...
To all the big haired hard rocking elves in town - especially those who want to piss off the neighbors - you gotta play this year's Monster Ballad Xmas album. Nothing says Happy Fuckin Holidays better than Stryper screeching Winter Wonderland. According to the producers, this album will help you "bring the party vibe into the holiday season with enough hairspray to further enlarge the hole in the ozone layer above the North Pole." I'm not sure it will be a huge party hit - but its definitely funny!
I downloaded a few songs from the album, and was siked to see appearances from some of the most glorious, long haired monster ballad rockers, like Skid Row, Winger, and Dokken (why was Queensryche grouped w/ them though?) Then a Christmas truth hit me like a snowball to the face. I remembered that I really only like these hair metal freaks for nostalgic reasons. Sorry Dee Snyder. Love the makeup, though. But to me, hair metal music itself was and still is not that great, so hearing new Christmas music from these guys is kinda lame. Maybe if I breathed in more Aqua Net fumes as a preteen I'd understand. Its cheesy, but fun, and hey, these bands never took themselves too seriously anyway. I'd say its worth taking a break from Bing to headbang!

beautifully funny...the Aqua net fumes were slightly paralyzing, but inly temporarily, as far as I know, no lasting affects......other than BEING STUCK IN THE 80 'S YYEEAAAAHHHH

Tyler Durden
Ha ha yes that toxic bottle of styling product did keep a firm hold on my hair and apparently my music tastes too for at least two decades!
I actually have 13 cases of it left under the workbench in my basement....I am just waiting for it to come back into deman, and I will be rich....since you're cool, I will give you a discount!!!!

or some rock and roll hoochie koo...Hair of the Dog! Hell yeah! I love that song! Not exactly in the same vein, but I think I'd throw Golden Earring's "Radar Love" in there too...
