Back when I was in high school, our choir took a tour and on this tour I found a little mall-shop-like thing where you could record a karaoke style performance. I have no reason to believe such places do not still exist, but I haven't seen one since then. Does anybody know of such a thing?
And I'm finally starting work on the 'really sick and twisted love songs' mix, inspired by listening to 'Every Breath You Take' by the Police. However, I do not have any of the occasional lists I've made of appropriate songs, and thought perhaps my friends here had suggestions. Important to note: the accidentally creepy nature of the songs is important, so something like 'Run for Your Life' by the Beatles is a far better choice than 'Where the Wild Roses Grow' by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

Night and Day It's a Cole Porter tune, so there are any number of versions, but my favorite for this purpose is by U2 on the "Red Hot & Blue" Cole Porter tribute album. This version is very intense and Bono sounds like a stalker. If you'd like, I can send it to you so that you can hear it.

Like the beat beat beat of the tom-tom
When the jungle shadows fall
Like the tick tick tock of the stately clock
As it stands against the wall
Like the drip drip drip of the raindrops
When the summer shower is through
So a voice within me keeps repeating you, you, you

I love Red Hot and Blue.
Well. I love about half of it, but I *really* love that half. (: And yeah, that'd probably work.
