Blogathon is going to have a new challenge: Videotape yourself singing karaoke. Because I’m on a caffeine high and have the sudden urge to embarrass myself, I’m going to let you guys suggest what I should sing.
Key word: suggest. If you all vote for some horrible song to annoy me, I have veto power =P
I have Rock Band 2 for Wii, which has a song list here. Here are additional songs I’ve downloaded:
All The Small Things – Blink 182
Buddy Holly – Weezer
Call Me When You’re Sober – Evanescence
Dirty Little Secret – All American Rejects
Don’t Speak – No Doubt
Hella Good – No Doubt
Hysteria – Muse
Just a Girl – No Doubt
More Than A Feeling – Boston
My Sharona – The Knack
Space Man – The Killers
Take Me Out – Franz Ferdinand
The Kill – 30 Seconds to Mars
This Ain’t a Scene It’s an Arms Race – Fall Out Boy
So, any requests?
*I should have made this more clear: Your only choices are the Rock Band songs. Sorry guys. I will turn off the game’s vocals, though.

As an unabashed metal fan, I am required by law to suggest Peace Sells, Painkiller, or Battery.
However….my official request is for American Woman.

My top 3, based in order of hilarity:
"Give it Away" – Red Hot Chili Peppers"Any Way You Want It" – Journey"Hungry Like the Wolf" – Duran Duran.
Because all of these would be hilarious, no matter what.

American JesusAtheist PeaceFlat Earth SocietyI Want to Conquer the World
Or anything by Tim Minchin…

I feel bad for saying terrible without putting in a tongue-in-cheek smiley. Pretend it's there.

Obviously, you have to do the Evanescence song. Just to sing Christian rock.

I like Twitter's recommendation of Testify. =D"Eye of the Tiger" is a great karaoke song, and you have to make up actions to the words as you sing it.
