So tomorrow I'm going on a second date with a dude and we're doing karaoke. "Second" highlighted because that means I would feel awkward as all hell singing anything like a love ballad. Anyway in case someone comes up with something that's more brilliant than the options I'm pondering I figured I'd ask: any song suggestions? I don't expect or feel the need to sound 'good' but I prolly should not try to stretch my (limited) vocal range too badly. Appealing suggestions from friends thus far I'm considering include Closer, Pain, Bitch, and anything by Britney Spears (I have memorized a great deal of her songs, largely just because I know it will give me a greatly increased amount of opportunities and ways to be irritating). :laugh: I'm having trouble thinking outside the iPod.

How about some Alanis Morissette songs, like “Citizen Of The Planet” or “Fear Of Bliss”?
“Fear Of Bliss”
My misery has enjoyed company
And although I have ached
I don't threaten anybody
Sometimes I feel more bigness than I've shared with you
Sometimes I wonder why I quell when I'm not required to
I've tried to be small I've tried to be stunted
I've tried roadblocks and all
My happy endings prevented
Sometimes I feel it's all just too big to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my bigness could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
I could be golden
I could be glowing
I could be freedom
But that could be boring
Sometimes I feel this is too scary to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of losing you
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
This talk of liberation makes me want to go lie down
Under the covers til the terror of the unknown is gone
I could be full
I could be thriving
I could be shining
Sounds isolating
Sometimes I feel this is too good to be true
I sabotage myself for fear of what my joy could do
Fear of bliss and fear of joyitude
Fear of bigness (and ensuing solitude?)
“Citizen Of The Planet”
I start up in the north I grow from special seed
I sprinkle it with sensibility
from French and Hungarian snow
I linger in the sprouting until my engine's full
Then I move across the sea
To European bliss
To language of poets
As I cut the cord of home
I kiss my mother's mother
look to the horizon
wide eyed, new ground
humbled by my new surroundings
I am a citizen of the planet
My president is kwan yin
My frontier is on an airplane
my prisons: homes for rehabilitating
Then I fly back to my nest, I fly back with my nuclear but everything is different
So I wait, my yearn for home is broadened, patriotism expanded by callings from beyond
So I pack my things nothing precious all things sacred
I am a citizen of the planet
My laws are all of attraction
My punishments are consequences
Separating from source the original sin
I am a citizen of the planet
democracy's kids are sovereign
Where the teachers are the sages
And pedestals fill with every parent
And so, the next few years are blurry, the next decade's a flurry of smells and tastes unknown
Threads sewn straight through this fabric through fields of every color one culture to another
I come alive and I get giddy I am taken and globally naturalized
I am a citizen of the planet
From simple roots through high vision
I am guarded by the angels
My body guides the direction I go in
I am a citizen of the planet
My favorite pastime edge stretching
Besotten with human condition
these ideals are borne from my deepest within

Nirvana - Come As You Are

"We're sorry, this video is no longer available."

More suggestions: Tori Amos, Aimee Mann or Leonard Cohen.

ooooo, Alanis Morissette, "Simple Together"
You've been my golden best friend
Now with post-demise at hand
Can't go to you for consolation
Cause we're off limits during this transition
This grief overwhelms me
It burns in my stomach
And i can't stop bumping into things
I thought we'd be simple together
I thought we'd be happy together
Thought we'd be limitless together
I thought we'd be precious together
But i was sadly mistaken
You've been my soulmate and mentor
I remembered you the moment i met you
With you i knew god's face was handsome
With you i suffered an expansion
This loss is numbing me
It pierces my chest
And i can't stop dropping everything
I thought we'd be sexy together
Thought we'd be evolving together
I thought we'd have children together
I thought we'd be family together
But i was sadly mistaken
If i had a bill for all the philosophies i shared
If i had a penny for all the possibilities i presented
If i had a dime for every hand thrown up in the air
My wealth would render this no less severe
I thought we'd be genius together
I thought we'd be healing together
I thought we'd be growing together
Thought we'd be adventurous togheter
But i was sadly mistaken
Thought we'd be exploring together
Thought we'd be inspired together
I thought we'd be flying together
Thought we'd be on fire together
But i was sadly mistaken

anything by Britney Spears (I have memorized a great deal of her songs, largely just because I know it will give me a greatly increased amount of opportunities and ways to be irritating). :laugh:
Along those lines, how about Cher's "This is a song for the lonely"?

"All By Myself" :P

If it's going well, sing this song, and try your hardest to get kicked out for rude behavior.

Asshole. Lol.

“Fear Of Bliss”
I don't think either is a single though Citizen is pretty cool. "Fear of bliss" is a wee bit too instense for a second date though. XD
