What do you mean? I have not heard much about either of them lately. Guess I'm out of it...
The TV Theme version can be found in SC8116. The full version would be better to sing since it's longer. Most Karaoke Jockeys limit singers’ 1 song per rotation. It might be a waste to perform it while there could be a long wait between songs. This version is about 90 seconds long.

I would have to agree with "I'm An Adult Now", by TPOH. The only other version of it in existence is terrible, to say the least.
I remember that gamesman was once a member here, and may still be. If he's reading this, I'm really very sorry, but it truly is terrible.
April Wine is available through another company though and the music is excellent for it.

there's an 80's song that has been sticking in my head- would KILL or die to be able to sing it in a karaoke venue. "I Need You" by Paul Carrack - this song has some HEAVY Motown influences, I think...

"At the start of their career, Talking Heads were all nervous energy, detached emotion, and subdued minimalism. When they released their last album about 12 years later, the band had recorded everything from art-funk to polyrhythmic worldbeat explorations and simple, melodic guitar pop. Between their first album in 1977 and their last in 1988, Talking Heads became one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits. While some of their music can seem too self-consciously experimental, clever, and intellectual for its own good, at their best Talking Heads represent everything good about art-school punks. And they were literally art-school punks. Guitarist/vocalist David Byrne, drummer Chris Frantz, and bassist Tina Weymouth met at the Rhode Island School of Design in the early '70s; they decided to move to New York in 1974 to concentrate on making music. The next year, the band won a spot opening for the Ramones at the seminal New York punk club CBGB. In 1976, keyboardist Jerry Harrison, a former member of Jonathan Richman's Modern Lovers, was added to the lineup. By 1977, the band had signed to Sire Records and released its first album, Talking Heads: 77. It received a considerable amount of acclaim for its stripped-down rock & roll, particularly Byrne's geeky, overly intellectual lyrics and uncomfortable, jerky vocals.
For their next album, 1978's More Songs About Buildings and Food, the band worked with producer Brian Eno, recording a set of carefully constructed, arty pop songs, distinguished by extensive experimenting with combined acoustic and electronic instruments, as well as touches of surprisingly credible funk. On their next album, the Eno-produced Fear of Music, Talking Heads began to rely heavily on their rhythm section, adding flourishes of African-styled polyrhythms. This approach came to a full fruition with 1980's Remain in Light, which was again produced by Eno. Talking Heads added several sidemen, including a horn section, leaving them free to explore their dense amalgam of African percussion, funk bass and keyboards, pop songs, and electronics.
After a long tour, the band concentrated on solo projects for a couple of years. By the time of 1983's Speaking in Tongues, the band had severed its ties with Eno; the result was an album that still relied on the rhythmic innovations of Remain in Light, except within a more rigid pop-song structure. After its release, Talking Heads embarked on another extensive tour, which would turn out to be their last; it's captured on the Jonathan Demme-directed concert film Stop Making Sense. After releasing the straightforward pop album Little Creatures in 1985, Byrne directed his first movie, True Stories, the following year; the band's next album featured songs from the film. Two years later, Talking Heads released Naked, which marked a return to their worldbeat explorations, although it sometimes suffered from Byrne's lyrical pretensions.
After its release, Talking Heads were put on "hiatus"; Byrne pursued some solo projects, as did Harrison, and Frantz and Weymouth continued with their side project, Tom Tom Club. In 1991, the band issued an announcement that they had broken up. Five years later, the original lineup minus Byrne reunited as the Heads for the album No Talking Just Head. Then in 1999, all four worked together to promote a 15th-anniversary edition of Stop Making Sense. ~ Cite: Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide"

How about some of the older lesser-known Steely Dan tracks, such as "Kings" and "Brooklyn"? ("Pearl of the Quarter" and "Midnite Cruiser" would be great also, although I don't think I could sing either of those.)
Just wondering--did anyone here (besides me) see the "Sgt. Pepper" movie, and did you like it? I just saw it for the first time this week. Fun movie--a lot better than its reputation suggests! Some of the Beatles cover tunes from that movie might be fun for karaoke, like Earth, Wind & Fire's take on "Got to Get You Into My Life". (I've sung the Beatles version before--both versions are great IMHO.)

flameslayer, you must be around my age (I'm 43). That movie came out when I was in high school and I wanted to see it at the time, but never got around to it until my husband bought the DVD for $5. (I wish there were interviews and stuff on the DVD--but hey, it was $5. )

Oh, another Steely Dan one I left out, although I don't have the voice for it: "Turn That Heartbeat Over Again". (I'm kicking myself for forgetting this one earlier--after all, my son's middle name is in the lyrics!)

I know that SC has done a lot of the Stones recently, and has plans for a couple more songs, but, could some consideration be made for the opening track of Exile On Main Street - Rocks Off

"SC has already released "The Voice", Frank. The version I have is on a star series!"
Hi Matt, I did a search and couldn't find it. Can you give me the disc number and maybe I can locate it that way? Thanks, Frank.

Styx with A.D. 1928/Rocking The Paradise is a great choice that I would second. I had just thought about this one the other day in fact... Posts: 575 | From: West Hartford, CT USA | Registered: Apr 2000

LOL, I think the same thing on many of your requests as well. Even with the audio links. Guess my age finally hit me, not into the newer music as much as I used to be (never thought it would happen) since 3-4 years ago & even then it was pretty sporadic on what I thought was decent.
