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.

The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.

[-] Klordok@lemmy.world 8 points 4 months ago

I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

"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.

Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.

Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...

...as a duet.

[-] GeeDubHayduke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 4 months ago

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!

Alice’s restaurant- Arlo Guthrie

[-] NakariLexfortaine@lemm.ee 6 points 4 months ago

If that kills the vibe, you got the wrong crowd.

[-] Evkob@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 months ago

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.

I mean, the goal was to kill the vibe, and I would argue a poorly done rickroll meets those requirements :p

In the UK any of the below should do the trick, with the added bonus of possibly getting you stabbed and/ or glassed:

Gary Glitter - My Gang

Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg

Lostprophets - Last Train Home
