NSG Karaoke Thread

Johnny B Goode
09-12-2006, 17:29
I decided to make a karaoke thread, so we can all relax, and not crowd Gabbly. You wanna sing? Show everybody on NSG how good you are and what you know? Well here's your chance, so come on down to the one, the only OFFICIAL NSG KARAOKE THREAD!!!!!!!!

I'll start with You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC (What I know of it).

1, 2, 3, 4!!!!!!!!

(Intro, then opening riff)

(Sings)

She was a fast machine
She kept her motor clean
She was the best damn woman that I ever seen
She had the sightless eyes
Telling me no lies
Knocking me out with those American thighs
(Line I don't know)
She told me to come but I was already there, yeah.

CHORUS:
The walls started shaking
The earth was quaking
My heart was aching
And we were making
And you...
SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!
Yeah, yeah, you...
SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG!!!!!!

Anybody else?

EDIT: People, state your songs! And if you aren't seriously lazy, and have the proper equipment, record yourself for those of us who'd like to hear it (Kiryu-shi, Kanabia, that means you). Use putfile.com to host any recording you might make.

Ok, sounds like fun. I'll go next



Cramps
Bikini Girls With Machine Guns

i been a drag racer on LSD,
and i rode bare-assed on top of the shpinx,
i even had a gorilla on the slopes of kismet,
and man,
that was fun for a while you bet but...
[chorus:] bikini girls with machine guns,
bikini girls with machine guns,
that stuff will kill ya,
it's loaded with fun,
bikini girls with machine guns well i savored many foriegn kinds of delicacies,
intoxicated til i can't tell what the hell i could see,
had all the violence and liquor within close reach,
but all bars,
pills and threeways lead me back to the beach and...
now they say that virtue is it's own reward,
but when that surf comes in i'm gunna get my board,
got my own ideas about the righteous kick,
you can keep the rewards,
i'd just as soon stay sick...

Okay, but you guess the song:

Ketetoi tokema howhow
ohoh etengali oholinao
tow vaka ko tou uu
majane hewi
bete malana tena
Malanga venga

lotele lotoma lohi
motohele motolote
eh! kitilatehalo eh!

Tell Me on a Sunday
Don't write a letter when you want to leave.
Don't call me at 3 AM from a friend's apartment.
I'd like to choose how I hear the news.
Take me to a park that's covered in trees.
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

Let me down easy, no big song and dance,
no long faces, no long looks, no deep conversations.
I know the way we should spend that day:
Take me to a zoo that's got chimpanzees.
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

I don't want to know who's to blame.
It won't help knowing.
I don't want to fight day and night,
bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no word at all.
Don't get mad and slam the door.
That's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye:
Find a circus ring with a flying trapeze.
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

I don't want to fight day and night,
bad enough you're going.
Don't leave in silence with no word at all.
Don't get mad and slam the door.
That's no way to end this.
I know how I want you to say goodbye:
Don't walk out in the pouring rain.
Don't call me as they call you're plane.
TAAAAAAAKE the hurt out of all the pain.

Take me to a park that's covered with trees.
Tell me on a Sunday, please.

Just kidding. No hard feelings against New Zealanders. One of the nicest people I know is from New Zealand!

I never posted a song did I? I was going to sing 'The Lumberjack Song' but I need a chorus of Canadian mounties to help me with that one...:D

Can I put up a link to Youtube? I don't want to get in trouble for it...

MRS. WORTHINGTON

Regarding yours, dear Mrs. Worthington,
Of Wednesday the 23rd,
Although your baby,
Maybe,
Keen on a stage career,
How can I make it clear,
That this is not a good idea.
For her to hope,
Dear Mrs. Worthington,
Is on the face of it absurd,
Her personality
Is not in reality
Inviting enough,
Exciting enough
For this particular sphere.

Don't put your daughter on the stage,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage,
The profession is overcrowded
And the struggle's pretty tough
And admitting the fact
She's burning to act,
That isn't quite enough.
She has nice hands,
To give the wretched girl her due,
But don't you think her bust is too
Developed for her age,
I repeat
Mrs. Worthington
Sweet
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.

Don't put your daughter on the stage,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.
She's a bit of an ugly duckling
You must honestly confess,
And the width of her seat
Would surely defeat
Her chances of success,
It's a loud voice, and though it's not exactly flat,
She'll need a little more than that
To earn a living wage.
On my knees,
Mrs. Worthington,
Please
Mrs. Worthington
Don't put your daughter on the stage.

Don't put your daughter on the stage,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.
Though they said at the school of acting
She was lovely as Peer Gynt,
I'm afraid on the whole
An ingenue role
Would emphasize her squint,
She's a big girl, and though her teeth are fairly good
She's not the type I ever would
Be eager to engage,
No more buts,
Mrs. Worthington,
Nuts,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.

Don't put your daughter on the stage,
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.
One look at her bandy legs should prove
She hasn't got a chance,
In addition to which
The @!#$
Can neither sing nor dance,
She's a vile girl and uglier than mortal sin,
One look at her has put me in
A tearing bloody rage,
That sufficed,
Mrs. Worthington,
Christ!
Mrs. Worthington,
Don't put your daughter on the stage.

*ahem*
Well, uh, this is my first time onstage, here.
:sniper: (Just to fit the stereotype.)

*taps mic*
The hour of wreckoning draws near
Judgment day is here and gone
Sweetly she draws me into her arms
A liquid embrace to chase the day way.
Sedate Numb Deaf and Dumb
Stumbling into solitude.
A clouded judgment day is fueled.
Take me under your black wings
Mark my words and remember me.
So sweetly she shucks away at my time
So sweetly she draws me nigh
Closer and closer towards never ending sleep
Spin the bottle
Kiss only the bottle.
The dark mistress of many, beholden to none
Slips a ring of needles around your arm in an engagement
Eternal engagement
Never consummated.
Take me under your black wings
Mark my words and remember me.
Destroyer of senses.
So take as needed for the pain
Another gray morning dawns across an ashen sky.
My sweet demoness beckons me
Ever again and again and again and again.
The dark mistress of many, beholden to none
My sweet demoness beckons me
Ever again and again and again and again and again.
Take me under your black wings.
Jacked up on the taste of self-destruction

Okay this is the song Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull. I only know the first two verses, so don't judge.

(Sings)

Into the shuffling madness
Of locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
He hears the pistons scraping
Steam breaking on his brow

CHORUS:
Old Charlie, he stole the handle
The train, it won't stop going!
And there's no way to slow down!
No it won't slow down
No it won't slow down


He sees his children jumping off
The stations one by one
His best friend and his woman
In bed and having fun

He's crawling through the corridor
On his hands and knees

CHORUS

(Ends singing)

10-12-2006, 01:15
Give me time
To realise my crime
Let me love and steal
I have danced inside your eyes
How can I be real

Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Precious kisses
Words that burn me
Lovers never ask you why
In my heart the fires burning
Choose my colour
Find a star
Precious people always tell me
Thats a step
A step too far

Chorus:
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry
Do you really want to hurt me
Do you really want to make me cry

Words are few
I have spoken
I could waste a thousand years
Wrapped in sorrow words are token
Come inside and catch my tears
Youve been talking but believe me
If its true you do not know
This boy loves without a reason
Im prepared to let you go
If its love you want from me
Then take it away
Everything is not what you see
Its over today

Oh well. The Lumberjack Song; as promised. Like I said, I still need my chorus of mounties...

BARBER:
I'm a lumberjack, and I'm okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.

MOUNTIES:
He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin'
And have buttered scones for tea.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He eats his lunch.
He goes to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea.

He's a lumberjack, and he's okay.
He sleeps all night and he works all day.

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He skips and jumps.
He likes to press wild flowers.
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars?!

BARBER:
I cut down trees. I wear high heels,
Suspenders, and a bra.
I wish I'd been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.

MOUNTIES:
He cuts down trees. He wears high heels,
Suspenders, and a bra?!

GIRL:
Oh my! And I thought that you were so rugged!

OK, seeing as nobody else is going, I'll go. I'll sing the song "I Am a Beaver" by Johnny B Goode and His Insane Mind. (This song uses the music of "I'm A Believer")

1, 2, 3, 4!!

(Intro)

I thought dams were only true in fairy tales
Meant for someone else but not for me
God was out to get me
That's the way it seemed
Disappointment haunted all my dreans

CHORUS:
Then I saw those trees
Now I am a beaver!
I eat wood
I am a beaver, I couldn't leave there if I tried

I thought dams were more or less a building thing
Seems the more I built, the worse it got
What's the use in trying?
All you get is pain
Instead of sunshine, I got rain

CHORUS

(Guitar solo)

I eat, I eat, I eat, I eat, yeah
I EAT WOOD, YEAH!!!
I EAT WOOD, YEAH!!!

(Part after solo repeats, and gradually fades out to end)

Bow River

Listen now to the wind babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again
I don't wanna see this town no more
Wastin' my days on a factory floor
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Anytime you want babe, you can come around
But only six days separates me and the great top end
I been working hard, tweleve hours a day
And the money I saved won't buy my youth again
Goin' for the heat babe, and a tropical rain
In a place where no man's puttin' on the dog for me
Waitin' on the weekend, set o' brand new tyres
And back in Bow River's just where I want to be

Listen now to the wind babe
Listen now to the rain
Feel that water lickin' at my feet again
I don't wanna see this town no more
Too many years made up my mind to go or stay
Right to my dying day
I don't wanna see another engine line
Too many years and I owe my mind
First set o' wheels headin' back Bow River again
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

Got the motor runnin', got the rest of my days
Sold everything I owned for a song
So anytime you want babe, you can come around
But don't leave it too late you just might find me gone

Listen now to the wind babe . . .

I don't need the score
I'm goin' through the door
Gonna tell the man I don't want no more
Pick up a fast car and burn my name in the road
One week two week maybe even more
Piss all my money up against the damn wall
First thing you know I'll be back in Bow River again

*ahem*

Jerry Springer

It's been one week since we got to see
Cheatin' lovers and cousins that marry
Five days since they had the show
With the hermaphrodite, the slut, and the crack ho
Three days since we heard the tale
About the guy who learned his woman was a she-male
Yesterday it occurred to me
That I've been watchin' a bit too much Jerry Springer

Holy cow, d'you see it last week?
Well, they had this one freak
Who sucker-punched his whole family
Do you recall when the brawl
Became a total free-for-all
And Jerry's in the middle tryin' to be the referee
Hey, see the stripper with the implants
She likes to lap dance
And date the boyfriend of her mother
Now here come's Jerry's next guest
And it's a slugfest
'Cause it's her trailer trash brother
Nymphomaniac is back on crack
It's like "When Animals Attack"
They all exhibit reprehensible behavior
Hit 'em in the nose, tear off their clothes
Step on their toes, that's how it goes
They get so violent they have to sign a waiver

They're always swearin', cursin', kickin' butt, and pointin' blame
On the air? They don't care, they've got no shame
There was one guy who I'm sure felt a little strange
When he found out that his wife had a sex change
They have a tendency to scream and yell constantly
They have a history of ripping off their shirts

It's been one week since they had the fight
With the Siamese twins and the transvestite
Five days since that awful brawl
They still haven't got the blood off the wall
It's been three days since the bitter feud
Between the KKK and that gay Jewish black dude
Yesterday, finally dawned on me
I'm spendin' way too much time on that Jerry Springer

Guy Guest : Baby, I've been sleepin' with your sister
Gal Guest : Oh? Well, which one?
Guy Guest : All of them
Gal Guest : Oh! Well, I've been sleepin' with your best friend Jake!
Guy Guest : Yah? Well, well me too!
Gal Guest : Oh!
Guy Guest : And I've sleepin' with your dog Woofie!
(barking)
Gal Guest : Woofie, you b-tch!
Gal Guest : Well, I'm also sleepin' with your pet goat!
(baaahhing)
Guy Guest : That goat doesn't love you!

Once you start watchin', there's just no stoppin'
Your brain shuts down, then your IQ's droppin'
Jerry's the king of confrontation
He's a sensation
He puts the 'sin' in syndication
It's totally worthless, like a bad check
It's like a train wreck
Don't wanna stare but you can't look away
Like Sally Jesse he does talk shows
But with more weirdos
The ratings jumpin' higher everyday
If you've seen the show, well then you know
It's just as low as you can go
The guests are tacky and they're lacking in their hygiene
And pretty soon some ugly goon
Comes in the room and then it's BOOM
In the face of some unsuspecting drag queen

Well it's the kind of show where people scream obscenities
Yankin' hair, throwin' chairs at their hubbies
"Jerry! Jerry!" Now the crowd starts their favorite chant
Should I turn off my TV? I just can't
I have a tendency to watch it religiously
I have a history of taping each one

It's been one week since the show about
Psycho killers with problems they should work out
Five days since the big surprise
When some loser's wife said she's still dating twenty guys
Three days since he interviewed
A bunch of psychic porn star midgets who were all nude
Yesterday, it occurred to me
That I've been watchin' a bit too much Jerry Springer
Tired of wastin' my time on that Jerry Springer
I've got way too much class to watch Jerry Springer
Come over here and pull on my finger

The Ding Dong Daddy of the D-Car Line

Well, the ding dong daddy of the D-car line
had a thing for the ladies for which he did time
he reaped a little more than he could sow
of the pleasures the mormons in Utah know
he could not restrain himself when he saw a nice cabooooose

I say ding...
I say dong...

That ding dong daddy he did sixteen women wrong...

(long instrumental break)

The ding dong daddy had a sensual soul
lonley women flocked to him and he loved them all
a train went in the tunnel in the dark he proposed
the bonds of matramony in the sweetest prose
the ladies got together and decided they'd been had
this ain't Salt Lake and you ain't Don Juan man
we gotta give ya credit we was happy for a time
But you're the ding dong daddy of the d-car line

I say ding...
I say dong...

Well that ding dong daddy he did sixteen women wrong....
