AshishKaraoke Songs No One Wants To Hear

Thanks to the Chicago Tribune. Here are the songs to avoid at your next karaoke night, and the reasons why. See more tips here.
The nearly six-minute-long song contains a 27-second guitar solo and a 47-second musical interlude. Unless the karaoke performer starts head-banging like the cast of "Wayne's World" during that time, expect awkward swaying while the audience stares blankly.
This classic folk rock tune runs over eight minutes long. No one should hog the karaoke mic for that long. Save the song for car rides and the end of wedding receptions.
Seeing Rose and Jack's love story fall apart as Leonardo DiCaprio disappeared into the freezing Atlantic left any 1997-moviegoer blubbering like a baby. What makes you think revellers want to relive that heartache at 11 p.m. on a Friday? The Grammy- and Academy Award-winning song was Celine Dion's biggest hit, but just because it played nonstop in the late '90s doesn't mean it'll fly with bargoers of 2009.
It's the most cliché karaoke rap song, but it's predictability alone doesn't make it cringe-worthy. It's that 90 percent of people who select the song realize after the very first "I like big butts and I cannot lie..." that they have no clue about the rest of the lyrics.
Karaoke-goers who want to channel Axl Rose will fail miserably if they attempt this fast-pace, high-pitch tune. They can instead fall back on "Sweet Child o' Mine," right? Wrong. Both songs are from the album "Appetite for Destruction," and they'll both kill the crowd's appetite for fun.
