What Prince song(s) have you sang at a karaoke bar?

Or heard others sing?

I routinely try to sing a Prince song when I go to a karaoke bar; gotta show my love for the man. I go about twice a month. In the last month, I sang I Wanna B Ur Lover and The Beautiful Ones. How 'bout u?

i'm sure i have done others, but those are my prince karoake standards. i used to do kiss a lot, but my voice is too out of shape at this point to do the falsetto as well as i used to be able to.

I once sang or should I say performed 'Kiss' on stage, with air guitar and all the moves while on acid. This was a long time ago (like 18 years ago) and I only tried it twice, but that was quite a night. I think I freaked out everyone with my moves. I was doing Prince and Wendy's moves and really going for it lol

Little Red Corvette, Sexy MF, Letitgo, Somebody's Somebody, Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret & TMBGITW.

I often times find myself throwing in some ad libs or key changes from live per4mances of his by accident cuz I 4get they weren't on the studio version. Even singing along in my car I will subconciously go "Shock-A-Lock-A-BOOM. What what that? After shock! Ain't that a BITCH?"

My shower is the only place that is graced with my awful singing voice, haha. So I keep out of the karaoke bar. But if I WERE to do something like that, I would have to go for either "My Computer" or "Face Down".
