About

NOTE: This page is a daughter page of: Music


I don't go to Karaoke often, but whenever I do I draw a blank on what songs I might like to sing. Below I've made a list of songs so I'll never have that issue again!

Disclaimer: I'm not a strong singer, and male.... so if you're either a strong singer or female these song choices might not appeal as much! :)


My Karaoke Routine

I don't do karaoke often, but I do feel like I have a comfortable routine..... it's this simple:

  1. Men at Work - Land Down Under ............. because it's a fun song, proud of my origins, and easy to sing (almost talking really).... and it builds my confidence up for something more daring.
  2. La Roux - Bulletproof ............. a little more dancey, I can't really sing high, but I keep it in an okay range.
  3. ... something else from my list - hopefully I keep trying new songs.... I wanna try Business Time!
  4. Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody ............. always a strong finish - always with a group!


Me at a karaoke in Austin 2019 - recorded a song for my sister because she is an amazing singer, but I'm excited to go on stage too. :)
