Here’s a link to the huge Karaoke Song list (from 112 to ZZ Top), provided so you can scan through songs and make your choice(s) early so you don’t have to page through the giant catalog.

Then all you have to do is either write down your selections or print it out and get set to have some Blogarific fun!

Just when you thought that The B-Town Blog couldn’t get any more useful comes this exciting and revolutionary posting – we’ve managed to sneak an entire copy of the Karaoke Song list for next Tuesday night’s Halloween Blog Party!

If you’ve ever Karaoked before, you know it’s always a hassle to have to page through a huge book to find a song you want while you’re trying to have fun.

Well we’ve got the solution for that age-old dilemma – an electronic version you can scroll through, copy and paste selections, and make your krucial Karaoke decisions before you arrive at our Blog Party (which BTW is Tues. Oct. 28th starting at 6pm at The Mark Restaurant & Bar at 914 SW 152nd in Olde Burien).

Here’s a link to the Karaoke Song list (from 112 to ZZ Top), so be sure to a) let it load all the way (it’s a HUGE list!), then b) look carefully or heck, c) even utilize technology to find songs/artists by using CTRL-F (or Edit>Find) in your browser window, then entering titles or names in the search box.

Then all you have to do is either write down your selections or print it out.

If you have any questions or problems, please let us know – we think there’s a song here for everyone, and we look forward to having a great night!

See ya Tuesday night…
