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

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

The Cure - Friday I’m in Love.

Green Onions.

Napoleon XIV — “They’re Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa!”

Tenacious D - Kickapoo

Not seeing any of the following:

Friends in Low Places - Garth Brooks

Country Roads - John Denver

Forever and Ever - Randy Travis

Total Eclipse of the Heart - Bonnie Tyler

Fly me to the moon - Frank Sinatra

My go-to artist is Chappel Roan.

We don’t have to dance - Andy Black

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

Fits my range almost perfectly. It’s my dad’s favourite of mine that I do too.

Other common go-tos for me are:

Give a Little Respect - Erasure

Hungry Like the Wolf - Duran Duran

Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

Fake Blood - Heart Attack Man

Lithonia - Childish Gambino
