(21,607 posts)I've done this one a few times... it's obscure, but I like it. It wasn't official karaoke, but at parties where I had the cassette and popped it in the player and I sang it.

(16,462 posts)Actually, everyone knows the first verse, so I'd do the second:
Harvey, Harvey, here is my answer true
I'm half crazy all to make love with you
But if you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage
'Cuz I'll be damned if I'll be rammed
On a bicycle built for two.

Ill be doing the background vocals part (not the lyrics):
On edit: okay, probably no one would let me sing that, so lets go with this ear candy:
And now you know why no one will ever let me choose my own song for karaoke

So today I'd probably do Everybody Wants To Rule The World.

Perfect for me, I can carry a tune, but I don't have a particularly pleasing voice.
I do want to give "Spooky" a try sometime
