...and if you were somehow trapped in a sleazy karaoke bar and you were kinda drunk and wanted to sing along with a Rolling Stones song it would be...???
Discuss.
No arbitrary rules whatsoever, so just go for it. I should add, however, that today's post was inspired by accidentally discovering an instrumental-only track of one of -- IMHO -- the coolest Stones songs ever. Which I was planning, for the longest time, on going into the studio and overdubbing with a pathetic vocal by yours truly. Fortunately, cooler heads prevailed. 😎
And which song woould that have been? See below.
Alrighty then -- what would YOUR choice(s) be?
And have a great weekend, everybody!!!
"You Got the Silver" is one of the most beautiful love songs ever created!!!
ReplyDeleteMy karaoke embarrassment would be performing in public "Parachute Woman"!
Just because!

Technically, a Mick song, not a Stones song (though they did record it later): Memo From Turner.
ReplyDelete"Sweet Virginia" or maybe just the spoken parts of "Far Away Eyes," unless I had someone to harmonize with, then all of "Far Away Eyes."
ReplyDeleteDepending on my mood/ impairment and the audience i might do As Tears Go By or Dead Flowers.

A sleazy karaoke bar, you say? "Star Star," of course.
ReplyDeleteHeh.😎
ReplyDeleteI used to sing Time Waits For No One in a band. But I'd like to do Dead Flowers when I'm drunk at karaoke.
ReplyDeleteI used to sing Dead Flowers with my old hometown garage band the Weasels. Tons of fun.😎
DeleteSteve don't know if you've heard but Townes Van Zant sings a great version of D/F's 🪦
DeleteI was revisting Goats Head Soup yesterday
ReplyDeleteTheir best drunk karaoke sing-along and who doesn't want to yell out the refrain in the song - Starfucker S...fer, S...fer
Star Star 🍻🍺🥃🥂😉
Whoops, missed Anon's post 🥴
Deletei'd like to go into a piano bar and play a George-Winston-esque solo instrumental version of You Gotta Move
ReplyDeleteMr. Charlie: I love the idea of an instrumental piano bar" You Gotta Move"!

Since someone already called dibs on Dead Flowers, I'll take Tumblin' Dice
ReplyDeleteHere are some that are slightly off the beaten path but... 1) Connection (from BETWEEN THE BUTTONS) - terrific song, always thought it should have been a single, catchy, uptempo; 2) their early 80s output is somewhat underrated - I'd do She's So Cold or Let Me Go or Where The Boys Go from EMOTIONAL RESCUE, or Neighbours from TATTOO YOU.
ReplyDelete"Stray Cat Blues" - kinda drunk, slurred vocal, and it will still sound good.
ReplyDeleteNeed a mix of karaoke and line dancing for that cowboy crowd - "Country Honk" 🤠
