ilaninDay 17's prompt was "A song that you would sing as a duet on karaoke". This is not a thing I have actually done all that much, even if you count playing games like Singstar, but it is a thing which I do find fun so it's certainly not the case that I wouldn't sing anything as a duet on karaoke. It took me a while to think of a duet I might want to sing that would be plausible for karaoke, though (despite my recalling once having commented to atreic about the desirability of Singstar Gilbert & Sullivan, I don't think it's likely to happen any time soon). I'm not sure how much more plausible I'm required to get; does the song have to be from pop or rock music, such that it would actually exist in a karaoke machine somewhere? Assuming for the sake of sleep I'm allowed to create a conceptual karaoke machine which contains a variety of folk music and similar, I'm going for this:
1.A song you like with a colour in the title - Famous Blue Raincoat - Leonard Cohen (performed by Tori Amos)
