Those who know me well know I love me some karaoke. In fact, I think about karaoke all the time. When I am in an elevator, I hear a piece of muzak that reminds me that Air Supply, in the right context, is a very good thing. Or I reflect on how SuperTramp is deeply underrated. Or bemoan that the youth of today are woefully under-educated about the brilliance of Pat Benatar.

Of course, Glee has brought Journey back into the mainstream collective consciousness, and for that I am grateful. Still, if you peruse the list below which I carry around with my on my iPhone and add to fairly regularly, there are so many other songs that are calling to me, calling to me, calling to me.....

I created this list because when I find myself in a karaoke context (ideally a private room with friends and lots of liquor), I get so overwhelmed with joy, excitement and anticipation that I sometimes am stumped by what to sing. This list instantly jogs my memory and ensures that the hits will keep on rolling. I'd love to hear any suggested additions in comments....
