If you read this blog regularly (and god help you if you do) you may have noticed I don't really do memes. I did one, once, when A White Bear deemed it Post Your Library Online week, but since then, none at all. I never reply to memes when memed; I always mean to but somehow never get around to it...
Well, to try to put some positive meme energy back into the blogobulle, today I'm starting my own meme, in honor of the fact that Coquette is back in town (no, she did not leave Paris for good, ladies and gents) and that Hugo and Julie and I haven't gone karaoke-ing since we exhausted the offerings at the Taverne de la Butte aux Cailles.
So without further ado I present my favorite karaoke songs (try not to laugh) and tag Hugo, Julie, Coquette and anyone else who wants to play to do the same! Also, if you know a better Parisian karaoke venue than our sad-sack local pub, please share...
Les incontournables de Maîtresse
1) Black Velvet (Alannah Myles)
2) Beautiful (Christina Aguilera)
3) We Belong (Pat Benatar)
4) It Must Have Been Love (Roxette)
5) My Immortal (Evanescence)
6) Milord (Edith Piaf)
7) Summertime (Gershwin)
8) I Can't Make You Love Me (Bonnie Raitt)
Ok, your turn!
I think "Black Velvet" is an excellent choice. Funnily enough, I just listened to that song last night. [Yes, I own it.]

You really need to stop linking to my seriously inactive blog...and we should try this place in Belleville. Even in Bolivia, the Chinese community knew how to run a Karaoke bar.

This is sooooo the list of someone who actually knows how to sing.
I'm in the next time you go, with the disclaimer that I ONLY do songs for which "the instrument" is not the primary consideration. Which is to say "Sweet Child of Mine."

This is probably not the usual karaoke song...but I am always singing Mariah Carey's "Through the Rain."

Ok, here goes:
1. Brass in Pocket (The Pretenders)
2. Photograph (Ringo Starr/George Harrison)
3. Cruisin' (as in the Huey Lewis/Gwyneth Paltrow version, with my friend Alex. She always makes me take the Huey parts).

Thanks for the props! I never do meme's either, but I'm een for the karaoke. I like Son of a Preacher Man, Boots are Made for Walkin', and Billie Jean. I've got soul, yup.

Anything by Diams
En s'attache

Milord is such a good choice!
La Javanaise? Definitely These Boots Are Made For Walkin'. And Motley Crue's Girls, Girls, Girls.
