It might sound counter-intuitive, since these are the songs that drunk bros and karaoke newbies invariably WANT to sing, but these are three songs that should never, under any circumstances, be sung at a karaoke bar ever again.
1. Journey's "Don't Stop Believing"
2. Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart"
3. Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer"
I'm serious. You might think you're being ballsy and/or novel and/or entertaining, but you might also be wrong.

karaoke makes me very uncomfortable.
what about RIGHT SAID FRED'S "I'm Too Sexy"?
That song made me famous.
I have never seen anyone do Right Said Fred, and that would be ballsy and novel and entertaining all at once.
I wish that your rules would be posted at every karaoke joint all over the planet.
All uniforms should also be categorically banned in order to keep the drunk sorority chicks from coming on stage together to embolden our enemies.
I think your rules are fucking bullshit.
And you know as well as I do that when Geoff Dyer and I did "Living on a Prayer" six years ago at the (one-off) Edinburgh Castle karaoke, that a tear came to your eye. A tear, that is, of pure pleasure.
sorry
I don't know why I keep commenting on your blog just to complain about your blog. I do like your blog. And you. I like you, John.
you just yelled at my girlfriend. remember "if you see blog posts about karoake then it's probably from guest blogger julia lamont..." or something to that affect...take it up with her bucko...
and yes, i love livin' on a prayer anycase/anyhow...
oh, sorry Julia. You likely were not there for that incredible performance. HAD YOU BEEN, perhaps you would substitute "Dancin' in the Dark" for "LOAP"
and John, shame on you for having a guest blogger blogpost before introducing guest blogger. tsk tsk.
