I got a lot of good suggestions for what to sing at the Tenth Annual Karaoke to the Death X. With your help I can ascend back to the top of the bad-karaoke world. The next step in this process is to pare down the dozens of awesome recommendations I got into a short list for final voting.
Here are the choices:
U2 - One
MIA - Paper Planes
Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On
The Las - There She Goes
Paul McCartney - Simply Having a Wonderful Christmas Time
Paul McCartney - Silly Love Songs
The Cure - Friday I'm in Love
Wham/George Michael - Careless Whisper
Crystal Gale - Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue
Debby Boone - You Light Up My Life (God)
The Beatles - The Long and Winding Road
The Beatles - She's Leaving Home
Melanie - Brand New Key
Billy Joel - Scenes From an Italian Restaurant
Billy Joel - Movin Out
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Elton John - Saturday Night's Alright
Elton John - Bennie and the Jets
Charlene - I've Never Been to Me
Chris Issac - Wicked Game
Grease Soundtrack - Hopelessly Devoted
Beach Boys - God Only Knows
Phil Collins - Against All Odds
Madonna - True Blue
Whitney Houston - How Will I Know
Kellis - Milkshake
Roy Orbison - Crying
Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons - Oh What a Night!
Cheap Trick - Dream Police
Miley Cyrus - Party in the USA
I left off songs that are completely in my range, or that have been sung by other KttDers to better effect, but I think this is a pretty complete slate. Let me know if I left anything big off.
For the voting, please list your TOP FOUR songs in order in the comments. You can change your vote at any time between now and when the balloting closes Tuesday night at 8 p.m. Eastern time. I'll just use the last vote that you cast. The votes will be weighted so that #1 votes are worth 20 points, #2 are worth 15, #3 are worth 10 and #4 are worth 5.
I'll tally all the votes, and come up with a final slate of four songs for the final vote. I need to start practicing these suckers so I can really belt them out for KttD.
Excelsior!
Nice - thanks for the vote!

You should sing it.
Posted by: M-----l | 01/26/2010 at 03:19 PM
not bloody likely. unless you promise to slow dance with hotrod. no, not even then.
Posted by: crankypants | 01/26/2010 at 03:23 PM
Anybody who is coming to town expecting to see me slow dance is in for some disappointment.
Posted by: hotrod | 01/26/2010 at 04:01 PM
