House of the Rising Sun is a traditional song (originally for a female singer, the song's about being a prostitute). The version you hear on oldies stations is by The Animals.
Anyway, this was a mixed tape (yes tape) of singalongs I had in my car during highschool... labelled "Will's Singalong". It was always fun for roadtrips, such as they were when we were 18. They were ordered better, now I'm just naming them as I remember them. Though some are quasi-obscure, they're all ones with choruses that are really fun to belt out, particularly at 2 in the morning or while you're supposed to be in calculus.
1. Doctor Worm by They Might be Giants
2. Basket Case by Greenday
3. Sabotage by the Beastie Boys
4. Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
5. Sweet Dreams, Marilyn Manson cover
6. San Dimas Highschool Football Rules by The Ataris
7. Wonderwall (or as we sang it, Wonderbra) by Oasis
8. Today by the Smashing Pumpkins
9. Buddy Holly by Weezer
10. Enter Sandman by Metallica
11. Linoleum by NoFX
12. Mr. Roboto by Styx
Yeah. We were a weird bunch. I wonder how long before that playlist starts making me look really old...
