Your Karaoke song

You're at a bar you've never been in, and most likely will never be in again. You're with friends that love you as you are. They've all done below average renditions of bad songs. You're up.

What do you sing? What. Do. You. Sing?

Too Good To Be True - Frankie Valli
Joy To The World - Three Dog Night
I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

Take your pick.

Actually, there's plenty more. I've even been known to belt out the odd Aretha tune after a few brewskis.

9 to 5 - Dolly Parton
Walking in Memphis - Marc Cohn (Cher)
A Change Would Do You Good - Sheryl Crowe

I gotta know I can hit all the notes before I stand up and sing.
I'll enjoy it anyway, but it's more fun to belt it out than squeak.

Quite. I can see/hear it now.

Do you own a banjo? Coz Ave Maria accompanied by a banjo would be freaking awesome.


And MORE cowbell! that song is amazingly lacking in cowbell.
