Karaoke is Worth 1000 Songs

I have now done 1000 songs for karaoke. I have been doing karaoke for about a year and a half now and I have amassed quite a collection, starting with Mr. Jones by The Counting Crows and coming to Dancing in the Moonlight by King Harvest. How do I know I've done 1000 songs? Around the 50 song mark I decided to make an iTunes playlist of my karaoke songs. It took me a little while to remember the 50 or so songs I had done, but it wasn't too hard since I had done most of those repeatedly. I've kept a running tally ever since. I thought I would do some Top 5's in commemoration of this feet. If you want to know all the songs I have done, here is the list. (Note: it is ordered by artist, but the songs for the artist are order by album.) The items in each list below are in no particular order. I just threw them together.

Top 5 Songs I've Probably Done The Most

These have gotten on the list because I like them or someone else likes me doing it.

3. Like A Stone - Audioslave
4. Laid - James
