    Default Break Up Songs - for me!

    My local karaoke bar this Sunday is doing a Break Up Song contest. Best performance gets good stuff. Help me get good stuff.

    I don't have the broadest range in the world, and I have trouble performing at a high vocal register - mid-range preferable.

    So far these are my front running contenders, from best to least:

    "Time of Your Life" by Green Day which I can handle perfectly easily
    "Fuck It" by Eamon which requires me to sing differently over the lyrics but captures the essence of my recent break-up and I can enthuse with much emotion, and...
    "Pictures of You" by the Cure.

    fyi: Hurt by NIN is not in their playbook and I don't think Cash's (superior!) version feels like a "break up song" so much as "life sucks".

    Any other suggestions?

    Awesome kiss-off song. Sadly, no this isn't going to be on the list.

    I'm sure that "Break Me Shake Me" is both out of your range and not in the catalog, but it would be so hysterically awesome to rock out karaoke style to it.



    ...I know what I must do now. Okay, one of you needs to learn guitar and I need to go buy tight pants.

    I'll notify the Panda.
    So, I'll whisper in the dark, hoping you'll hear me.

    If you have someone to do a duet with, this might be fun:

    The fact that you haven't shared a video to go with this claim is criminal, you realize.

    Christina Perri, "Jar of Hearts":

    Rascal Flatts, "Here Comes Goodbye":

    If you're up for some classic country, how about some Roy Clark?
