KARAOKE VID RECS WANTED!

[purplefringe]

Hi friends!!

It is that time of year again*: I would like your vid recs! This year I'm running Vidukon's first ever singalong-a-vidshow \o/ I'm hoping it's going to be a fun bonding experience for everyone at the con. Singing along will not be mandatory, and will not be solo, but will be very much encouraged :-D

PLEASE REC ME THINGS! What vids can you never resist singing along to? What vids have people sung particularly enthusiastically along to at Wiscon, at Club Vivid, at your own vid parties? What vids do you see in your head as you belt out the song when it comes on the radio, or when you're doing karaoke, or when you're in the shower? Share your favourites with me! As always, self-recs are loved.

If the vids already have subtitled versions, so much the better, but don't worry if not - I really ought to know how to subtitle already, and this is my kick-up-the-arse to actually learn to do it.

So - recs please and thank you! (Also - come to Vidukon! We have singing now!)

*I'm pretty sure that the last few years I have made this post it has not been SNOWING in LONDON in MID-MARCH WTF /o\

[purplefringe]

Heee, thanks for this rec! :D

[sc_fossil]

You're welcome!

[thisbluespirit]

Sounds like fun! I don't know what counts as a sing-a-long vid, but these seem like the sorts of things that inspire drunken/car journey survival singing etc. so here goes:

(From my YT playlists, I'll check my bookmarks later):

Multifandom
Shut Up and Dance - MsTabularasa (which you already have)
It's Raining Men - DreamyViper (period dramas): https://youtu.be/TOFps_Naytg

Buffy
I Get Knocked Down - shadowhisper: https://youtu.be/7Uge0nZDI6g
Those Were the Days - thedothatgirl: https://youtu.be/MMzpOgL9_20

Hammer Horror
Don't Stop Me Now (Frankenstein) - Jetpack Monkey: https://youtu.be/dUbx0GE541A

Doctor Who
Survivor - Nancy Blackett: https://youtu.be/bIPHRw56j0Q
500 Miles - Jasmin Weser: https://youtu.be/fb12f3uTR94
Summer of 69 - trelkez: https://youtu.be/cku7sBcJFNo

Blake's 7
Rebellious Housewives (9 to 5): https://youtu.be/I0YK3g26ZMs

And, depending on how many B7 fans you have present, the Star One B7 song is extremely singalong, if anyone wants to celebrate the 40th anniversary. But very niche, obv, and in vid terms comes in two flavours:

Intergalactic Space Crusaders - Zukalis: https://youtu.be/vW466ObKqLI
Intergalactic Space Crusaders - TheSadisticToaster: https://youtu.be/mo8grUJBjVU

[purplefringe]

I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you - thank you SO much for these recs! And for taking the time to give me links and everything! There are some really great choices here. (I could watch that hilarious Giles vid on a loop FOREVER)

[thisbluespirit]

Bookmarks only really produced this, and the footage is clearly a bit old, but:

Buffy
Obviously - Darth Culf: https://youtu.be/hacOnbiuEO8

[brokenmnemonic]

I don't know if these are the sort of things you're looking for, but here are a few that stuck in my head that I think haven't been mentioned yet:

Bohemian Like You by Astolat (Stargate Atlantis)
Take A Chance on Me by eladnev (Misc AMV - I can't remember what it was to me recced as)
I Love Rock and Roll by shikamarude (Noragami)
Sweet Dreams by DMovies (X-men movies)
Love Shack of the Evil Dead by Jetpack Monkey (Evil Dead 1&2)
Bohemian Rhapsody by Grable424 (and 24 other people) (multifandom)
Sweet Home Alabama by Awkward Robert (The Muppets)
Under Pressure by vi0lace (The Martian)
Bitch by KOBATV (Farscape)
Tubthumping by Trelkez and sisabet (Thor movies)
I'm a Believer by meamlm (Avatar: The Last Airbender)
DOn't Stop Me Now by Charmed Lover (Charmed)

If you want a hand with subtitling, vi0lace posted on twitter a little while ago that she was happy to take on subtitling vids for a small fee to help with her medical expenses? I may have asked her to subtitle some of my vids as a consequence... >.>

[brokenmnemonic]

I just stumbled across this Buffy/Spike vid to Take A Chance on Me by sdwolfpup while looking for something completely different: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8a3t1g1cFEk

[brokenmnemonic]

I'm not sure this is on theme, but I came across something else on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g1mV1kl0XvA - the crew (and animals) of an SCPA shelter in the US recreated "Take A Chance On Me" inside the shelter to raise funds. If nothing else, you should watch for all the adorable furry faces...

[purplefringe]

Hey hey - thank you so so much for all these recs! So many great vids there I hadn't seen! (omg that Avatar one! <3) Ahhhhhh I have done NOTHING about this playlist yet but I'm working on it now and I'm SO EXCITED for the con! \o/

[aurumcalendula]

Become You by fray-adjacent (Xena)

Damned If She Do by Chaila (Borgen)

Parachute by thingswithwings (Leverage)

Space Girl by Charmax (multifandom)

and a self rec: Tell That Devil (Wynonna Earp)

[purplefringe]

Ugh sorry I took so long to reply - thank you SO much for these recs! Some really great choices here - I'd already thought about putting in Parachute, so thank you for confirming that decision! And I've never seen Wynonna Earp but that's a GREAT vid.

[seekingferret]

Re: subtitles, I would recommend Aegisub http://www.aegisub.org/ . It's the only subtitling program I've ever found that doesn't make me want to tear my hair out.

[purplefringe]

Ooooh, amazing! Thanks so much - I will take a look at that.

[seekingferret]

You're welcome.

Also, a vid I always singalong to:
thingswithwings's "Finite Simple Group"
https://thingswithwings.dreamwidth.org/113580.html

[zeborah]

Tragedy by dualbunny (Buffy)
That Don't Impress Me Much by ohsoleil (Criminal Minds)
Happy Working Song by mareeana (Leverage)
Muppets in Atlantis by Chayiana (Stargate Atlantis)
Get the Party Started by rhoboat (White Collar/Leverage)
Puttin' on the Ritz by killa and tzikeh (multi - I can't find a copy online anymore though I have one myself; I don't know what etiquette is about finding/sharing vids for these shows but happy to help out if useful and appropriate)

[purplefringe]

Sorry I took so long to get back to you - thanks for these great recs! I love that Tragedy vid - actually included it in my show of comedy vids last year! It's a masterpiece. And I'd love to see that Puttin' on the Ritz vid if you have the time/inclination to upload it, but no worries if not.

[littlecatk]

i am one of this people who can sing along to everything (or maybe will is the better word here as i am a horrible singer) but i hope there are some useful ones here anyway (if i am to late for the party, maybe something to watch anyway).
There are a lot of songs i love to scream/sing along to that i have found no fanvideo for (yet maybe), and while i tried to find some varitiy in music, i fear its all pretty uniform mainstream (through there is some hiphop, one disco song, a bit country)
This recs are sorted by artists.
The fandom sources are mostly: movies and tv shows, but there are 2 still image sources (marvel comics) and 3 video game sources.I also tried to find different sources (so maybe they are not all well known which could be a minus point for this thing but maybe also a plus as it could introduce people to new stuff? You can decide what you find best, i am not sure),
this sources appear more then once are: Supernatural (3), Mad Max (2), Newsies (2)
The music artist that appear more then once are: Carley Rae Jepsen (2), Imagine Dragons (2), Lady Gaga (2), Nicki Minaj (3), The Killers (2)
One song appears 2 times: Nicki Minaj – Starships.
Some of this songs are slower, softer?, or a bit sad – so i was hestiant to put them here as i am not sure how well they may work in a group setting, but then i put them here anyway.
I am not good at warnings, so blanket one for some quick cuts, light flashes, sexual themes, suicide intentions in the one teen wolf one (and lethal weapon), violence etc – you are more in the know what kind of group the audience will be and what falls out for unaccesablity (hopeful not all of them)

i also second: Space Girl (Multi), "You told the Drunks I knew Karate" (Star wars the force awakens), "That doens´t impress me much" (Criminal Minds), the multifandom „Shut up and dance with me“,

Hi hi - I'm so sorry for being unforgivably slow to get back to you. Thank you SO, SO MUCH for this incredible list of recs! So many new-to-me vids here. I'll definitely be including some of these in the show! Thank you for taking the time to rec these, and for including links!

[littlecatk]

no problem, i am happy to hear that you found new vids there and/or some that fit!
this also remaind me that i wanted to self rec one of my vids but did not dare,
i wish you lots of sucess with your vid show, singing with people is a lot of fun.
