The karaoke bar is hyped up. You're next up and you have one job: kill the vibes. What song are you singing?

Spinal Meningitis - Ween
That should clear the place out.
Had a woman invite me out to karaoke, but I don't think we're compatible long term so I'm taking notes from this thread.
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 Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.
What's New Pussycat, 21 times in a row.
Instrumental version of Tequila
I did this with “Everybody Hurts”. Everybody went outside.
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.
Bloodhound Gang - A Lapdance Is So Much Better When the Stripper is Crying

Urgh just whatever I think might be fun at the time, it's always bad
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
Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.
I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.
Tequila
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida. Long song with not a lot of singing.
A Passion Play.
The entire thing. Including the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles.
(Side note: I love this album, but as a karaoke performance I can't imagine it'd go down well)
Somebody that i used to know
Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.
Blurred Lines
"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.
The Smallest Church in Saint-Saens
Dead puppies
"Peace and Love (Blind Man's Penis)" by John Trubee
The Mash movie theme song...
Through early morning fog, I see Visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld for me I realize and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna lose it anyway The losing card I'll someday lay So this is all I have to say Suicide is painless (suicide) It brings on many changes (changes) And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skins It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works it's way on in The pain grows stronger, watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that are key "Is it to be or not to be?" And I replied, "Oh, why ask me?" Suicide is painless It brings on many changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please
We Are the World which might be fine if everyone in the bar was fifty-plus, but wouldn't work today.
I Need a Hero. Can't live up to the best version, but I'll try my best!
“Memories” from Cats
The ISIS song
the cure - killing an arab
Windmills of Your Mind - Noel Harrison
Or you can kill the vibes despite the song. Just start sobbing in the middle of Space Jam.
The real issue is finding a song that they might actually have that would sour the mood. GG Alin's "work" are all easy picks, but nowhere is going to have that available for karaoke (and if they do, run).
I feel like Desert Sessions - Letters to Mommy was made for this.
Live - Lightning Crashes
People would get into it, but it would definitely kill the vibes before then.
