- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world

Instrumental version of Tequila
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald by Gordon Lightfoot. A jaunty little sea shanty about a ship sinking in a storm and killing everyone on board.
It's a banger though, as long as everyone in the bar is over 35.
I sang that two nights ago, at our local open mic. Went over very well, but then again the average age was probably over 70.
Wouldn't work as I'd be singing along

I repeat the last song.
Or anything from an obscure screamo band.
The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. It's a Debbie Downer of a song, it lasts forever, and it gets really repetitive.
The Mountain Goats' "No Children", but very intensely.
I would be so hyped that someone is playing The Mountain Goats in public I would probably join in.

Somebody that i used to know
Right now, as someone not from the US, star spangled banned would ruin the evening more than anything else I could think of. Everyone can recognize it, arguments would follow.
Goodbye my Lover by James Blunt would work to kill a hyped up mood.
"Loving You" as Im a guy who cannot sing and absolutely does not have Minnie Ripperton's range. It would be horrific and I would lean into it with all my might.
Isn't that just karaoke?
Saw this irl once. Two dudes, totally tone-deaf decide to sing Aqualung by Jethro Tull...
...as a duet.
Same bar had a dude that would sing Disney princess songs every night. He never went home alone.
Shout out to Dante's in Seattle!
Alice’s restaurant- Arlo Guthrie
If that kills the vibe, you got the wrong crowd.
I worked with a 17 year old once who knew the entire lyrics to Alice's Restaurant and would recite them, not sing them, in the most deadpan voice.
I miss that guy.
Blurred Lines
Dead puppies
Meat Loaf - I'd Do Anything For Love - the original album version where there's around 20s of motorcycle sounds and vocals start around 1:50.

Tequila
We Are the World which might be fine if everyone in the bar was fifty-plus, but wouldn't work today.
Woman Is The N***** Of The World
(Although anything by John Lennon would probably work lol)

In the UK any of the below should do the trick, with the added bonus of possibly getting you stabbed and/ or glassed:
Gary Glitter - My Gang
Rolf Harris - Jake the Peg
Lostprophets - Last Train Home
