I warm up with either Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm by Crash Test Dummies, or Collide by Howie Day. Once I’m warmed up I have a huge repertoire of songs. I don’t sing Meatloaf songs back to back anymore though. And Rob Zombie is only for Halloween.
“Bloodbuzz Ohio” -The National.
it’s short, sweet, a little sexy, I can do the voice, and I can remember the lyrics. Also, I live in Ohio. And it reminds me of my best friend, who passed away last year.The Distance by Cake. I can’t sing so this works every time.
In the Philippines: My way by Frank Sinatra
And in all other part of the world?
In all other parts of the world it’s not guaranteed to start a riot.
Depends on the setting.
Nobody seems into it? Kiss from a rose- seal.
Need to set the bar? The Widow- Mars Volta
Classic crowd? Plush- Stone temple pilots
Easiest for my voice: There’s a reason these tables are numbered- Panic at the Disco
People are worried to be embarassed? Brand new key- Melanie
And on the occasion I want to make everyone laugh and impress them: It’s all coming back to me- Celine Dion.
I’m a large, traditionally masculine guy. It’s a lot more fun to subvert expectations.
Edit: forgot one. If I’m attempting to impress girls: Mon amant de saint-jean- Patrick Bruel
I used to love singing One Armed Scissor on Rock Band but I’ve never had the guts to try ATDI or Mars Volta in public.
I wanna try arcarsenal but i don’t think I’d be able to speak afterward
The Cure - Friday I’m in Love.
Green Onions.

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler
Fly me to the moon - Frank Sinatra
My go-to artist is Chappel Roan.

Lesser known song, but right in my range. It has an ironic message as long as you’re clearly having a good time at the function.
Nutshell by Alice in Chains
The Middle - Jimmy Eat World
