I just picked up a Monday night Karaoke hosting gig. I'm a mediocre singer at best. Any fairly easy song suggestions that I should have in my repertoire? I'm looking for some diversity to able to cater to the crowd a bit. My list is basically a bunch of stuff that 30 somethings might be interested in, but not much for an older crowed or a younger college crowd (which I'm expecting). Looking for mostly upbeat, "fun", sing along stuff because nobody wants to hear ballads from a shitty singer.

Here's most of the stuff that I do currently, at least well enough to sing at a Karaoke bar.

Save a Horse - Big & Rich
Everybody Talks - Neon Trees
Cold Hard Bitch - Jet
Inside Out - Eve 6
All The Small Things - Blink 182
The Distance - Cake
Short Skirt Long Jacket - Cake
Santeria - Sublime
Garden Grove - Sublime
Badfish - Sublime
Smoke 2 Joints - Sublime
Hey Jealousy - Gin Blossoms
Basketcase - Green Day
Lump - POTUSA
Peaches - POTUSA
Creep - Radiohead
Last Night - The Strokes
Blister In The Sun - Violent Femmes
Cocaine Blues - Johnny Cash
The Weight - The Band
This Is How We Do It - Montell Jordan
Skee Lo - I Wish
Regulate - Warren G
Good Feeling - Flo Rida
Fuck You - Cee Lo Green
Baby One More Time - Britany Spears
Party In The USA - Miley Cyrus

I used to play in a pop cover band that did California Girls. I sang the Snoop part in it, so I've got that down.

I'll check out these country tunes. Totally out of my element, but people love that stuff.

I expect the crowd to be mainly 21 year old college kids so I'm trying to do stuff they'll like, but probably not songs they'll be planning to sing.

If anyone wants to follow my shenanigans, I'm now on Facebook and Instagram as @teddyandtheroosevelts

Also, add me on snapchat.com/add/teddyroosevelts

It's gonna be lit...or whatever the kids are saying.

I didn't listen to much rock from the late 'oughts on because I didn't think it was very good.

Well, the my first night hosting was a success. Had a 14 singer rotation going. Went about 3 times through the rotation and I only had to do 3 songs all night. Bar was happy and the customers had a good time, so all in all a good night. I gotta be up in 4 hours for work, but that's the life of a rockstar I guess. Haha
