The key to karaoke for the infrequent indulger is to find a song or two in your comfort range and practice it a few times before going out...maybe more.
That way when faced by the big screen and the situation, you can be a bit more confident.

When I was in voice, doing a musical and having some free time, I practiced Sultans of Swing and nailed it at Karaoke one week. Got a "you've done this before" from the M.C. Heh.

I once did "Leader of the Pack," which worked quite well due to the fact that it was the end of the night and we got a few complete strangers to come up on stage with me to sing backup. My boss at the time joined in with the "vroom vroom" motorcycle sounds.

My fave? Drag show. Me and two girlfriends (G and HK for BC, who knows them) were called up to the stage because we looked like we were having too much fun to "Goodbye Earl"

Bookcase -- living room 8 by 8 -- full of books the day after it was finished. 5 other small bookcases -- all overfull. Stacks of books here an there.

Oh, I wouldn't like to hear someone do it who can't do the accent, myself. It helps that I like cheesetastic songs.
