Singing when drunk [Archive] - RonFez.net Messageboard

The surefire sign that I'm wasted is when I start singing. Not in front of strangers or anything, but usually on the ride home and especially those moments before bed when I'm alone and have access to my favorite sloppy drunk songs, which are kind of embarrassing, but I'll tell you anyway:

Paradise by the Dashboard Light (I saw a guy perform this on the piano in Pat O'Brien's Piano Bar in New Orleans some years ago with my mom and have kind of been obsessed with it ever since, but only when I'm drunk)
Connie Francis - Where the Boys Are (this song is just perfectly in my range... nobody my age has ever heard of this song, which is embarrassing in itself)
Heart - Alone (Same story with the piano bar, also perfectly in my range)

but when it comes down to it I'd sing any song I know, even if I don't know the words... also weird is my favorite sloppy drunk songs are a perfect match with my mother's favorite sloppy drunk songs.

It's been a long time as I've been avoiding drinking, mostly because once I start I just can NOT stop, and I'm talking double-fisting (not the Sue_Bender kind), and I always wind up doing stupid shit like becoming a bad one-woman lounge act. But I'm reminded of this because my sis was over last night and I went a 'lil overboard with the drinky drinks and when they left my neighbors got quite the performance. :unsure:

Is this Stugots with the boys... bringing it to the people?

I used to sing drunk b/c I was nervous about actually doing it. I recall a friend of mine saying "I get it, you have a good voice" that was the sign that I should maybe get over my stage fright. Not that I'm saying anyone who gets drunk and sings has stage fright but that was my story.

Pat O'Brien's Piano Bar in New Orleans

That place is awesome. I've had some of the best times during Mardi Gras in that place.

I remember singing Pearl Jam songs at 3am in college. The Piano Man a couple times too. *CRINGE*

Ergo, I sing no more.

It was my first piano bar experience and I loved it... my mother knew all the dirty things you're supposed to yell out: "You picked a fine to leave me Lucille"... "YOU BITCH, YOU WHORE, YOU SLUT!!!"... it was a side of my mother I'd never seen before.
If you love to sing when you're drunk, and just generally like to get a 'lil outta control, a piano bar is an excellent place to go.

I'm the same way. If everyone else is singing, awesome! If I'm drowning out a band at a bar, it's embarrassing, but seriously they should try harder.
Either way, it's a sure sign of drunk.

OOOhhh! Alone is one of my all time favorite singing songs along with Total Eclipse of the Heart.

But I'm not drunk when I belt them out, it's an everyday thing for me. Hence, my "I wish I could sing" thread.

no need to be drunk, as soon as I hit my car and when I am in a good mood I sing to whatever is on XM.... loud obnoxious singing... and people looking at me strange driving by :D
I stink at singing, but in my car I am a rockstar

I never said I hadn't sung it ... I'm just saying I don't know the words.

It was a little embarassing trying to keep up with it after WVU won the Fiesta Bowl last year not knowing the lyrics. :unsure:

JerseyRich and Gvac heard me singing drunk on the way home from ESD's bday. I'd been yelling to be heard in the bar all night and my voice was terrible but I couldn't help singing along to one of my favorite drunk singing songs (Brooks & Dunn, "Maria").

That was NOT Brooks & Dunn. It was the original, by the great B.W. Stevenson.

I'm a fantastic karaoke singer when I am sober and partially drunk. If I am anywhere near blackout, I am horrendous. I sang Around Here - Counting Crows once in a crowded bar, and I didn't get a clap and was cutoff as I walked away from the mic.
