Which song do you prefer?

^I would go with Freebird!

Alright, there's an 80s night at the disco. You are the DJ and gods damn, you are under strict rules to play 80s pop or else you won't get paid. Dayumn! On top of everything, you forgot your music and can only play whatever 80s singles you could scrounge out of the club's crappy collection. Which one do you play first in order to take people back to those magic 80s?

Sandra - Maria Magdalena
Samantha Fox - Touch Me (I Want Your Body)
Yes - Owner of a Lonely Heart
Roxette - The Look
Alphaville - Forever Young
Van Halen - Jump

"Owner of a Lonely Heart" by Yes. Because it's a great pop song that makes me want to drink cocktails in a club.

Okay, it's the next night at that very same club and it's karaoke night. The only songs in the songbook are cheesy hair band ballads. Which do you sing of the following and why:

"Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Poison
"More Than Words" by Extreme
"When the Children Cry" by White Lion
"Just to Be the Next to Be With You" by Mr. Big

I'll go for "More Than Words" since my voice could reasonably pass for the lead singer of the group, Extreme. Plus I know most of the words to "More Than Words".

Okay, the very next night at the very same club and it's another karaoke night and this time the only songs in the songbook are ones that are really difficult to not screw up lyrics (misheard from amiright.com). Which of the following songs do you sing and exactly why?

"Blinded By The Light" - Manfred Mann's Earth Band
"Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" - Elton John
"(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" - The Rolling Stones
"Louie, Louie" - The Kingsmen
"Bennie & The Jets" - Elton John (personnally this would be my choice, if only because I think I could get the most laughs when I sing about "Bennie having electric boobs and her ma does, too.")

I Can't Get No:

You're at a karaoke party, but you're a lousy singer, so you chose one of the easiest songs there, which do you choose?

Rock and Roll Part 2-Gary Glitter

or

Wipeout-The Surfaris

"Wipeout". I think it would be way more fun to sing along to.

You're out dancing on the night before you are to be shipped out to fight in the European theater during World War II. Which stereotypical swing-era tune would you rather dance to:

"Sing Sing Sing" by Benny Goodman

or

"In the Mood" by Glenn Miller

Sing Sing Sing sounds more exciting and more memorable to sing.

Okay, in this scenario you are auditioning for a Broadway musical, in front of some very cranky and tired audition panelist, and given the choice of six songs from past Broadway musicals. Which of these songs from Broadway musicals do you sing for your audition?:

"Some Enchanted Evening" from "South Pacific"
"Oh, What A Beautiful Morning" from "Oklahoma!"
"There's No Business Like Show Business" from "Annie, Get Your Gun"
"One Singular Sensation" from "A Chorus Line"
"Maria" from "West Side Story"
"The Sound Of Music" from "The Sound Of Music"
