That ship has sailed, did the big C once, never again. And on the C cruise, I did hear My Way several times. My guess might be dated, but I avoid Italian restaurants that play Sinatra endlessly.

Once, many years ago, I was at a Chelsea street pub type venue. Guy onstage was a comedian who had a guitar and could sing a little. He wanted someone to come up and sing with him. Adult beverages were flowing well. He happened to have some Dr Seuss with him. I had a daughter and we read Seuss every night. I always thought it would be a good rap. So I volunteered. I rocked “one fish, two fish, red fish blue fish “ pretty hard. It was very out of character for me and caught my group very off guard.
But I rocked and got a standing O from the very small Wednesday night crowd.
It’s amazing someone hasn’t rapped Dr Seuss. It really flowed well. I mean, for an old white guy it flowed

My brother-in-law and I sang the Everly Brothers song, You've Lost The Loving Feeling on a cruise ship. Had everyone singing along.

If I had any talent for singing, which I do not, I would sing "The Lemon Song" from Led Zeppelin. Unfortunately if I tried people would start throwing things at me

3. The End by Mammoth, but just like Meatloaf, I don't pay very good tribute to WVH's vocals; it is really a travesty, if I am honest. I just like the song

Good song, cool video. Wolf can play a little bit.

I'd go with...in the shuffling madness of locomotive breath, runs the all-time loser headlong to his death. Locomotive Breath by Jethro Tull! Great song.

How often are you listening to 50+ guys sing karaoke to even notice a trend much less form such a strong opinion?
