Which song do you prefer?
 

Easy game,

1. you decide, which of the song given in the above post you prefer

2. you name song alternatives, could be done with a certain context in which the song has to be chosen (though that might not influence the actual choice by the following poster, but maybe it does)

one thing: if you can't decide, don't post, let someone else answer...


I'll start with:

It's a rainy Sunday afternoon in winter, you have a cup of coffee/tee/chocolate on your table, maybe you smoke a cigarette, you're wrapped in some blanket, by yourself. You sit in front of the window and look outside.

- The Smashing Pumpkins - hummer
OR
- Pj Harvey - the river
OR
- Radiohead - house of cards

oh come on folks, one more try (well, I could imagine playing the game all by myself anyway :laughing: )

so mine is "house of cards" - love looking out of the window to that song

the situation:
for some reason you and you friends drunkely participate in some karaoke competition. You're pretty wasted, but want to impress some girl/boy in the group (and somehow figured singing karaoke would be the best way to do)
Song choice:

Nancy Sinatra - these boots are made for walking
Elvis Pressley - jailhouse rock
Don Mclean - American Pie
Aerosmith - don't want to miss a thing

Ugh, I wouldn't want to sing any of those in a karaoke, but if I had to choose, I would go with Don McLean's American Pie I guess.

So my scenario is this : You're driving your brother's smelly car by yourself and you wanna listen to some music as there's just crap on the radio. Unfortunately, the only CD he has is this old homeburned thing with early 90s alternative rock on it and on top of everything, it's scratched so only 4 tracks work. The trip is only long enough to listen to one song, so which is it gonna be?

• Nirvana - In Bloom
• Pearl Jam - Jeremy
• Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
• Faith No More - Epic

^^Sometimes it's nice to just listen to the road.

Black Hole Sun...its the only song there I could sing along with because I don't know the other song's lyrics.

^I think the point is also that - if you answer, you provide the next scenario and the next set of songs. Chop chop!

:clap:

At least a song choice would have been helpful for the game, right. ok, let's see,

I'd play jeremy (but I would be mad it wasn't black).

You're about to get married next weekend and your fiancé, quite the romantic one, but unfortunally with a pretty awefull music taste, insists on one of the following songs to do the first dance to:

Stevie Wonder - I just called to say I love you
Brian Adams - Everything I do (I do it for you)
Whitney Houston - I will always love you
Donna Summer - love to love you baby

In reality? I would probably dig my heels in on that one.

I guess if he had a knife to my throat I'd choose Brian Adams.

Okay, this one is for guys I guess, since most of you are of the male gender anyway. Imagine your girlfriend insists you choose one of her albums to play while you two are hanging out. You hate chick music, but you don't want to disappoint her. Here are your choices:

Sarah McLachlan
KT Tunstall
The Pretenders
Tori Amos
Fiona Apple
Heart
Brandi Carlile


(If you're a girl, just pick which one you would want to listen to.)

I like Sarah Mclachlan, The Pretenders, Tori Amos and (early) Heart so I will be fine :D

Okay, I'm new here (to this forum) and will try to keep this thread going. As a male, I would have to say that I agree with the above poster to a degree. I would limit my girlfriend to only playing, The Pretenders or early Heart!

Okay next question about which song do you prefer -- this is long Classic Rock tunes time:

You have the choice of only one of these to ask a dj to play near the end of his program on a Classic Rock station:

"Do You Feel Like We Do?" - Peter Frampton
"Shine On You Crazy Diamond" (The whole LP version) - Pink Floyd
"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (the 28 minute version) - Iron Butterfly
"Time Has Come Today" (the whole LP version) - Chambers Brothers
"Freebird (live)" - Lynyrd Skynyrd
"Kashimir" - Led Zeppelin

So, which one do you ask the dj to play as your and his final request of the evening?

^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"

One singular sensation, repleat with choreography. easy.

Senario; as follows,

You've been kicked out of your boyfriends/girlfriends best friends wedding for getting to drunk and claiming you'll never be the moron who walks down an aisle, the next morning you wake up and want to leave a song as a message for your boy/girl friend, to let them know ......?
1) Sublime, What happened?
2) Nazareth, Hair of the Dog
3) Meatloaf, Two outa three aint bad
4) Social Distortion, Ball and Chain
5) Stevie Wonder, I Just Called to say, I Love You
6) OTHER: ( give song title)
