I would think U can. It's your show. I would pick a song U like that no one ever sings, or a song U wish someone would sing. Someone in the crowd will go: hmmmm, what is that song> i didn't know he had that.
I have. Take it easy. kdiva

I'm sure you can as long as you pay for the appropriate license for it.

I can't speak to the legality, but I've seen it done. One of the venues around here filmed a commercial of the various features of the bar and includes a few seconds of karaoke, "Don't Be Cruel" if I remember right.

The network of the reality TV show "Survivor" used the karaoke track of Destiny's Child's song "Survivor" (not SC's version), and the owner of the karaoke company saw the commercial and recognized it as their karaoke track! Basically, the network paid them $100,000 (standard amount) to avoid legal proceedings.
