Bloodhound Gang - A Lapdance Is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying
https://m.soundcloud.com/bloodhound-gang/a-lap-dance-is-so-much-better
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.
It's a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.
I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.

Urgh just whatever I think might be fun at the time, it's always bad
Right now, as someone not from the US, star spangled banned would ruin the evening more than anything else I could think of. Everyone can recognize it, arguments would follow.
I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.
Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.
The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.
I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.
Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...
...as a duet.
Same bar had a dude that would sing Disney princess songs every night. He never went home alone.
Shout out to Dante's in Seattle!
Somebody that i used to know
Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.
"Loving You" as Im a guy who cannot sing and absolutely does not have Minnie Ripperton's range. It would be horrific and I would lean into it with all my might.
Isn't that just karaoke?
Wrecking Ball- Miley Cyrus.
I could butcher anything, but that, I'll butcher it with glee.
Alice’s restaurant- Arlo Guthrie
If that kills the vibe, you got the wrong crowd.
I worked with a 17 year old once who knew the entire lyrics to Alice's Restaurant and would recite them, not sing them, in the most deadpan voice.
I miss that guy.
Tequila
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love - the original album version where there's around 20s of motorcycle sounds and vocals start around 1:50.
Blurred Lines
Dead puppies
We Are the World which might be fine if everyone in the bar was fifty-plus, but wouldn't work today.
The link preview gives it away sadly.
I mean, the goal was to kill the vibe, and I would argue a poorly done rickroll meets those requirements :p
Woman Is The N***** Of The World
(Although anything by John Lennon would probably work lol)
