Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

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.

It's a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.

[–] gramie@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 year ago

I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.

Baby Shark, followed by Wonderwall.

[–] KittenBiscuits@lemm.ee 11 points 1 year ago

I repeat the last song.

Or anything from an obscure screamo band.

The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.

[–] Klordok@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

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.

Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...

...as a duet.

Same bar had a dude that would sing Disney princess songs every night. He never went home alone.

Shout out to Dante's in Seattle!

Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.

I could butcher anything, but that, I'll butcher it with glee.

If that kills the vibe, you got the wrong crowd.
