‘What’s My Age Again?’, Blink-182/ ‘Stacy’s Mom’, Fountains Of Wayne ( SingStar Pop) To be fair, the chorus is fun to scream - if you really went for it, you’d have a hoarse voice for a few days. Like anyone who picks Joy Division’s ‘Love Will Tear Us Apart’ or The Smiths’ ‘This Charming Man’, selecting Nirvana screams ‘I love and know music’. ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’, Nirvana ( SingStar Legends) Depending on who you were with, the performance was either high-energy and pitchy from all the jumping around, or incredibly awkward, as you stood there still, waiting for the chorus to come back. This Euro-club 2007 hit is peak SingStar: a song without particularly impressive vocals and with long dance breaks. ‘Everytime We Touch’, Cascada ( SingStar Pop Hits) Save it for the emotional, party-ending ballad, lest you bring the mood down and bore everyone.Ī Smooth.FM favourite to this day, the song’s sappiness has the broad appeal perfect for the sort of inter-generational SingStar session the game’s ads imagined. Whether it should have been a staple SingStar track is up for debate, but there’s no question it was. ‘How To Save A Life’, The Fray ( SingStar Hottest Hits) You shatter, and it takes years to pick up the pieces. When you realise, a decade later, after another open mic night where no talent execs seek you out, it all clicks. You have no idea that you get a perfect score because Ashlee Simpson’s famously shaky voice barely shifts pitch the entire song. When people come over to play, you grab the mic when shuffle lands on ‘Pieces Of Me’, ready to win. You always get a perfect score when you do this one. ‘Pieces Of Me’, Ashlee Simpson ( SingStar Pop) They’re eating Cheezels and wiping the orange dust on their board shorts and one-pieces. You arrive an hour late after pretending to have a stomach cramp at home, and when you arrive, everyone’s done swimming. It’s Madison’s pool party, but your best friend is on a family vacation to Noosa so you’re a little nervous about going without them. ‘Get The Party Started’, P!nk ( SingStar 1) We’ve also made a Spotify playlist to get you in the mood for your next SingStar party.
