La Fin de La Semaine Essay Question: Special "Sing Along With 'Bitch'!" Edition

Okay, I'm too lazy to write a lame joke by way of the traditional intro at the moment, so let's just get -- directly and inexorably -- to the subject of the business at hand. To wit:

...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!!!

My 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.

"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."

Depending 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.

I 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.

I used to sing Dead Flowers with my old hometown garage band the Weasels. Tons of fun.😎
