nightspore Group: Members Posts: 4770 Joined: Mar. 2008 Posted: Nov. 08 2009, 08:09 My choice would be "Runaway Son" - if only because the words "save me" might incline the audience to have mercy on my singing ability! Back to top

Sheba would be quite a fun one to do,trying to keep a straight face as the "words" bobbed along on the bottom of the screen there.Or Five Miles Out and/or Pictures In The Dark,with a box of assorted hats or wigs to wear for whenever the vocalist changed.I think you`d probably need at least ten pints down yer to do Five Miles Out justice.Then watch it all fall apart as you start getting all your props mixed up Tommy Cooper style.

Ugo Group: Members Posts: 5495 Joined: April 2000 Posted: Nov. 08 2009, 17:47 I don't think there are many good MO songs for a male vocal. However, my voice is quirky - it's sort of halfway between a male and female extension, so I can often sing songs originally meant for females with no real difficulty. That said, my karaoke choice would either be "Islands" (transposed one tone down) or "Heaven's Open". -------------- Ugo C. - a devoted Amarokian Back to top

Well, I'd have to talk about my life to tell you, hahaha! Let's just say that it's been a bit of a long-running theme and I feel pretty passionately about the piece. At one St. Brigid's Jam, I sang "Moonlight Shadow" including the rap section that I added back in the mid-80's based on the death and vision of someone important in my life. Of course, the group seems to prefer it when I dance rather than sing. Would also do "Into Wonderland" and *maybe* "Crystal Gazing." <-: -------------- "No such thing as destiny; only choices exist."

That's be interesting.Never heard Maggie sing either of these.Do you mean Barrie Palmer per chance?Maybe he'd claim to have given Mike a hit single too with Crime Of Passion. -------------- THE COMING OF THE GREAT WHITE HANDKERCHEIF IS NIGH.

Matt Group: Admins Posts: 1186 Joined: Nov. 2002 Posted: Nov. 10 2009, 04:22 In don't have a particularly good voice so if I had to sing Karaoke it would probably be best if it were to an empty room... That said, I would also put on the backing track for "Talk about your life". Love singing along to that one in the car! I know it has a female vocal but the words as far as I am concerned could be sung by male or female and it just about fits my (limited) vocal range! -------------- "I say I say I say I say, what's got three bottles and five eyes and no legs and two wheels" Back to top

ex member 419 Group: Members Posts: 1177 Joined: April 2008 Posted: Nov. 10 2009, 06:10 The songs would have to be heavens open and far country. My vocals are pitiful though, so others might have to sing over my voice lol! Cheers Back to top

Delfín Group: Members Posts: 667 Joined: Nov. 2000 Posted: Nov. 16 2009, 19:10 Holy!!!!! As well as Tubular Tos!!!! And also Scatterplot gave me a great idea with: 'Poison Arrows'. I love Barry Palmer's voce, I wish it would have been more used on Mike's records... as well as Anita Hegerland's. I busk, and I use to do 'Heaven's Open', but I wish I did these other two more often. -------------- The most precious thing I possess, is knowing the answer's yes Back to top
