Remember last week when we told you about New York Magazine’s Indie Rock Karaoke event on Wednesday, December 3rd at Brooklyn’s Studio B? (See: here for details) Hosted by Andrew WK with a full set by Ted Leo + The Pharamacists, it promises to be a blast. Ted Leo has just released the karaoke set list, as well, that allows guests to sing covers with the band on stage. Here it is:
OUTFIELD – “Your Love”
PRINCE – “Kiss”
THE WHO – “My Generation”
KELLY CLARKSON – “Since You Been Gone”
THE STOOGES – “Search and Destroy”
THE RAMONES – “Blitzkrieg Bop”
THE MISFITS – “Where Eagles Dare”
BILLY IDOL – “Dancin’ With Myself”
AC/DC – Dirty Deeds
THE CURE – “Just Like Heaven”
THE CLASH – “Rock the Casbah”
BOWIE AND QUEEN – “Under Pressure”
JOY DIVISION – “Transmission”
YEAH YEAH YEAHS – “Maps”
SAINTS – “Stranded”
ARETHA FRANKLIN – “Respect”
BLONDIE – “Dreaming”
BRUCE SPRINGSTEIN – “Dancin’ in the Dark”

STEELY DAN – “Reelin’ in the Years”
SANTOGOLD – “LES Artistes”

Yes! Just the chance to sing Springsteen’s “Dancing In The Dark” onstage with Ted Leo and company is reason enough to get your ass to this event. And hey, if you don’t sign up early enough and the number goes to someone else, maybe you can still hop on-stage and do the famous dance with Bruce, err, Ted.
Let’s not forget the free booze! Complimentary happy hour is courtesy of Cape North Vodka, while non-alcoholic beverages will be provided by Glaceau. They’re also collecting used coats to donate to the annual New York Cares coat drive, so find an old one in your closet and help keep the less fortunate a little warmer this winter. All who donate will automatically be entered in a raffle for a chance to win a Gibson Guitar or a new pair of Saucony originals.
So hop on the L train to Brooklyn and see you there!
