My next karaoke track is going to be -

[Richt]

I got my first real six string
Bought it at the five and dime
Played it til my fingers bled
Was the summer of '69

Me and some guys from school
Had a band and we tried real hard
Jimmy quit and Jody got married
I shoulda known we'd never get far
But when I look back now
That summer seemed to last forever
And if I had the choice
Ya - I'd always wanna be there
Those were the best days of my life

Ain't no use in complainin'
When you got a job to do
Spent my evenin's down at the drive-in
And that's when I met you - ya

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me that you'd wait forever
Oh and when you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life
Back in the summer of '69

Man we were killin' time
We were young and restless
We needed to unwind
I guess nothin' can last forever - forever, no...

And now the times are changin'
Look at everything that's come and gone
Sometimes when I play that old six string
I think about ya'n wonder what went wrong

Standin' on your mama's porch
You told me it would last forever
Oh the way you held my hand
I knew that it was now or never
Those were the best days of my life

My husband likes to sing at karaoke bars. His favorites are Elton John and Billy Joel songs...with Elton as his fave. When he sings "Can you feel the love tonight?" and "I guess that's why they call it the Blues"...he sounds almost exactly like Elton John!

He does a good "Rocket Man" too, especially when he's playing the keyboards at the same time

At our wedding reception, he sang "Your Song" to me while playing the piano.

Me, though...I can't sing.

Re: My next karaoke track is going to be -

I can't sing either..so i don't karaoke. i once did it though drunk with a friend at a bar..we sang 'We are family' by the pointer sisters. not sure why..I don't even like the song.

my husband can karaoke a perfect Louis Armstrong (though he can't do more than one song..hurts his throat). he also does a really good Wolfman Jack who of course isn't a singer...so he doesn' do it in karaoke LOL
