+1 Yeah WW gets the singers in the audience started here in VB VA as well!

Hotel California and Take Me Home, Country Roads also gets 'em going down this way on the oceanfront...

[Richland123]

Interestingly, I see the song Wagon Wheel mentioned often on the TB threads as a very popular song. I don't know of any band in my area who plays it and it was never a big thing on the radio here either. I think I only ever had one request for it since it came out. Maybe I should look at us playing it.

Margaritaville -- Jimmy Buffet.

[Richland123]

Here are some other songs that I have seen crowds sing along to:

We're Not Gonna Take It - Twisted Sister
Rock & Roll All Night - Kiss
Cum On Feel The Noize - Slade / Quiet Riot
Fight For Your Right To Party - The Beastie Boys

there was this cute girl reading a book at the bar one night when my old band was playing. Didn't even look at the band let alone dance. Till we played "talk dirty to me." i decided to try not to hate that song anymore because, although she still wasn't looking at the band, I could see she was singing along!

[pklima]

Even though it's old now, all women under 30 know it and will sing along with it more than all other songs put together: "Ai se eu te pego". Well, all women under 30 from non-English-speaking countries, anyway. Even my cousin who's like 7 or 8 and lives in Norway can sing it.

Also a great one if your audience speaks Spanish: Tommy Alverson's "Una mas cerveza". I've seriously gotten crowds who've never heard the song before and girls who are into death metal singing along with this one.

In English: "Wagon wheel" and the Cranberries' "Zombie" (though I've seen a few people singing along with the Pretty Reckless "Zombie" too).

A couple more sing-a-longs

Sweet Caroline - any version - the D. J. Otzi or the original by Neil Diamond

Hey, Baby - any version - the D.J. Otzi version or the original version by Bruce Channel

[Sequimite]

A bit of a tangent -

My favorite song is "The Dutchman". I was at a Michael Smith concert where no one was singing along until he played "The Dutchman". As soon as the song began every person in the crowd seemed to be singing along.

I was in a band with David Cloud, who was part of the Allman Brothers extended family, road manager for "The Outlaws" and manager for "Mama's Pride". He announced at practice one day that no one was allowed in the band who didn't cry when they heard "The Dutchman".

[BayStateBass]

Our most popular sing-along is "Friends In Low Places".

[ERIC31]

I Love Rock N Roll -Joan Jett.
Rock N Roll All Nite - Kiss.
