    Heh... but will they have the song on their lists?
    There are likely a number of rowdy, drinking songs that would go well kilted...
    just I don't think most places would have them on their rosters.

    How about "In heaven there ain't no beer..."

    Several songs come to mind, like The Scotsmen. Not available. Flogging Molly? Not available. Glengarry Boys? Not available.

    See my difficulty? I have sung; Whisky in the jar And Bob Segar, Turn the page. "Sometimes you can hear them talk other times you can't. The same old cliche, is it woman or is it man" I think Bob was refering to his long hair, but it works as related to a kilt.
    Anyone else?

    How about Caledonia by Frankie Miller? Was this a hit in the states?

    I like to do karaoke as well at the AMVETS hall where I am a member. I have found that most of the karaoke DJ's will let you use your own discs. If you go very often, it makes it so much easier to have your own discs of the songs you like to sing. It also makes it easier to know what version of the song it will be, as you don't always know with the provided discs.

    I get most of mine from here. I don't know if they would have the songs you want, though. I would recommend any rowdy drinking song.

    Not really karaoke since its a capella but nothing better then a bunch of lads singing "Griggle Aye" by Clan An Drumma - should be the XMarks theme song!

    My brother-in-law wrote his own words to Safety Dance by Men Without Hats. Don't recall exactly what they were, but something along the lines of....

    You can wear pants if you want to
    and leave comfort behind.
    But if you wear pants, and only wear pants
    then you're no friends of mine.


    His were much better, but you get the idea.
