Update 23-08-05:
Some people have had problems logging comments, so I've turned off the word verification thing to try and fix this. Hope that helps.
Watch out for stock advice.

'never tear us apart'
inxs
Surely it's got to be Warrant's "Cherry Pie".
you need 'house of the rising sun' like you need a heart and two lungs. trust me.
Dude, if you need Pie, you need "American Pie" although it really does suck for everyone else.
Failing that, you need "It's raining men", which everyone will love. I assure you.
Tough gig ...
Having taken a wealth of factors into consideration I nominate the following (in no particular order):
1) Pour some sugar on me - Def Leppard
2) 500 miles - The Proclaimers (I'm on my way - honurable mention)
3) Anything by Meatloaf. Pressed for an answer I'd say I would do anything
for love (but I won't do that)
4) Total eclipse of the heart - Bonnie Tyler
5) Boom shake, shake, shake the room - Will smith. My left field selection.
tough gig indeed
I don't think there's a definitive answer, here's what I'm feeling at the moment
1) Jump - Kris Kros (must be a duet)
2) Last Night - Az yet
3) Two steps behind - def leppard
4) I wear my sunglasses at night
5) I saw the sign (don't ask me why this popped into my head)
My karaoke loving mate at work came up with ...
Aerosmith - I Don't Wanna Miss A Thing
Meat Loaf - Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse Of The Heart
Guns n Roses - November Rain
Bon Jovi - Always
The Scorpions - Winds of Change
[note: must be sung in a German accent]
1. Cyndi Lauper - TIME AFTER MOTHERFUCKEN TIME
You need songs the girls can sing everyone knows this one.
2. The Stranglers - Golden Brown
Possibly the catchiest song of ALL TIME.
3. Weezer - Undone (The Sweater Song)
Easy to song, easy to learn, very drunken sing-songy. Sounds good with more than one person doing it.
4. Weezer - El Scorcho
Why you wanna go and do me like that? Come down on the street and dance with me!
5. New Order - Blue Monday
Need I say more?
6. Gunners - Sweet Child of Mine
Fuck yeah!
7. Gunners - Paradise City
Fuck yeah!
8. Kylie - Locomotion
These tapes will bring strong returns when it comes to the post-festival blackmail.
9. Beatles - Hard Days Night
Everyone seems to know the words to this one.
10. Bowie - Space Oddity
Everyone knows Major Tom. Or maybe "Ashes To Ashes", "Rebel Rebel" or "Suffragette City"
Honorable mentions from previous votes:
Bonnie Tyler - Total Eclipse of the Heart
INXS - Never Tear Us Apart
Proclaimers - 500 Miles
Warrant - Cherry Pie
A lot of you seem to think it's still fifteen years ago and that people remember all the words to every hair metal song. This is WRONG.
P.S. NO SPANDAU BALLET!
Oh yeah
Forgot
X. Sinead O'Conner - Nothing Compares 2 U
Bring bald wigs.
X. Fatboy Slim - The Rockafeller Skank
Just imagine a bunch of drunken retards singing "FUNK SOUL BRUVVA!" You might even get some locals. Plus the words are easy.
X. Iggy Pop - Lust For Life
Get the old weathered drunk British dudes in on it, plus all the tryhard Trainspotting fucks.
Destiny's Child - Cater 2 U
1. metallica - nothing else matters
(why has no one mentioned this already?)
2. stairway to heaven (why has no one mentioned this either?)
3. the violent femmes - blister in the sun, which is probably the all time greatest cause everyone has fun... even if you hate it, you still clap
4. britney - baby one more time
5. vanilla ice - ice ice baby
i think that's enough
thankyou for your time

Although the suggestions for songs closed as of yesterday, these were received by email on Monday of last week.
1. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.
2. I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor.
3. My Way by Frank Sinatra.

Personally, I'm surprised it took so long for Bohemian Rhapsody to enter the running. But there you go.
Stay tuned.
Daniel.
