Sing, Sing a Song, Sing it loud... (OK... Maybe not THAT loud...) Oh, wait,"I" have control of THAT... :-)
This page was updated Oct 4th, 2007 (SURPRISE!) :-) Karaoke means "Empty Orchestra" in Japanese. I have NO idea how the name came to be or why, but once in awhile I hear someone sing that "shouldn't oughta" or someone else that amazes me because they should have Garth Brooks, B.J Thomas, Bette Midler, Bryan Adams or Madonna as their driver taking them to concerts where they should be performing and it ALMOST makes sense to me. Keep in mind that sometimes the WORST singer in the house can be the BEST entertainer and sometimes even the best singer is better heard with your eyes closed.
For those of you that have asked, (OK, Maybe for SOME of you that DIDN'T ask, too) I've put my song list(s) HERE for you to download when you'd like. There are times when I get it updated a few times a week and times when it may go months with out being added to, redone or edited. I say edited because the thing is FULL of typo's and outright mistakes. MANY mistakes were made by me as I typed in every bloody line of the thing but there are a few where the CD is actually labeled wrong or the numbering sequence on the CD is wrong while the song titles are right. That said, when you download this thing, feel free to e-mail me with mistakes you find. When I can, I will reply with at least a thank you and that I've FIXED the thing, OR an explanation of why it's NOT an error or mistake. So... Once you download the file(s), feel free to call yourself an unpaid editor. OH! I REMOVED THE "DCD's" from the song numbers. once upon a time there was a reason for those, then a GOOD reason and now... No reason. :-) So I got rid of `em. (UPDATE Oct 2007) I no longer need ANY Numbers, so where I could, I stopped them from prointing AND "tried" to remove the dupes from the list as well. It worked a BIT better in the "By Artist" file than the Song file, but... I will also do a presort of each file by artist (remember, "I" sorted artists names FIRST NAME FIRST) and the other by song title. In the larger sets I got where they included a list, the artists names may be Last then First, so when you search for Garth Brooks, look in the G's and the B's. In the "by song title" list, you might find two listings for a song. For example: "A Night To Remember" and "Night To Remember, A". Then again, you might NOT find a song listed both ways since I've tried to do away with that kind of dupe. NOTHING in the lists should start with "A" or "THE". I've deleted all of those dupes that I could find. The files were getting too big and they don't EVEN need to be inflated. ALSO... When a spreadsheet sorts things, (These files started as Lotus version 9 spreadsheets) (UPDATE AGAIN!) All apostrophes and comma's have been removed from the lists and tp speed the "sorting" by the Karaoke player, everything is UPPER CASE. So "I'm a Believer" is "IM A BELIEVER" . The following filesare READY to be downloaded. If you need something other than what I have here (the list below), let me know ASAP. Dan@CountryDan.comThe NEWEST songs are in the hard books AND HERE now. Remember that if you want me to try to find a song, e-mail me and I'll keep searching. If you drop a note in the tip jar, I look once and the note gets "misplaced" soon after that. e-mail is saved until I FIND what we're looking for. ;-)Dan's-Songlist-ARTIST-(date).[file type] = Sorted by the artists name and as always FIRST "OR" LAST NAME FIRST, so check BOTH ways.Dan's-Songlist-TITLE-(date).[file type] = Sorted by the Song Title. The date in the file name is when it was last updated. There "NEW" file lists are at the
bottom. Once they are combined into the main The System IS ready and using CD+G's, VCD's and DVD's and now Super GD+G's with EVERYTHING working well. The list is now at over 50,000 songs! I am trying to keep it at around 50,000 by deleting OLDER dupes, bad tracks on CD's etc. So I may be adding a lot of newer stuff with out letting the list/book get TOO much bigger. EVERYTHING IS DIGITAL now, OK, Almost everything... I'm STILL converting a lot and it seems to be taking forever. When possible, I don't use the actual CD's anymore. (Unless you ask for something I don't have or have converted yet.) Remember that you won't be allowed to sing more than one song "at a time" unless it's YOUR party. :-) Please read through the rules for information on how the shows run. I use a sign up sheet rather than slips and your name can only be on the list ONCE. Once you've finished your song, you aren't on the list any more and can immediately put your name back on the list, and then look up the song you want to do. If you do not finish that line before it's your turn, you will be skipped and have to add your name again. If you are called to sing and do not answer, I will call your name 3 times and then mark you off the list UNLESS YOU HAVE TOLD ME that you will be gone for a "few" minutes OR getting a reading from Christine. If you are marked off, you have to add your name again, at the bottom of the list. Adobie READER is NECESSARY to open PDF Files go to http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/arupdate.html and download the a newer version from the adobe web site. If you have problems with these files, please e-mail me so I can track down that problem. The books are now smaller again because I can stop a majority of the dupes from printing, If you have the older files
you may have listings that are now deleted.
Dan's-SONGLIST-TITLE-10-04-2007.pdf The name says it all. Right click to "SAVE AS" or just click to open in your browser IF you have the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (available above). You MAY NOT be able to search if it opens in your browser. ONLY as a file on your computer. This file is 2+ Megs
THIS OLD FILE Is a Database file along with an EXE program to allow searching by song, Artist or even song number ALTHOUGH I NO LONGER USE NUMBERS. The NEWer files above will show you what I need now. There is a read-me file in the Zip, so read that first. I scan everything so "I" know there are no bugs here, but to be triple safe. You scan it too. Click the link to download the Song Program and complete database, < DansSong.zip > This was created Feb 3rd, 2006. This NO LONGER includes EVERYTHING available to sing, but a lot of it IS here. I am trying to see if I can convert the newest type of database to one this program can read and use while still eliminating the dupes.

NewMusic files
dated 00-00-00.
It's ALL in the main files. (Nothing new as
of Oct 4th 2007) (Or this printing) No more SIGN UP SLIPS. There is now a list that you sign up
on/at. When you sign up, your name "is on the list". You
can not have your name on the list more than once. When you sing your song
(OR DUET) your name is marked off and then you can add another song OR
Duet.
The total line/song count is now over 50,000 I Think that's a few more songs than
any other Karaoke show "I've" been to so I guess I'll have to start going to a
few more, farther away from home. [DO keep in mind that there are many
duplicates of several songs as ALL Karaoke KJ's have. Some are alike and some are
totally different versions.] (Yes, I know... It's not nice to brag.)
