Today, Pitchfork posted an interview they did with Of Montreal frontman Kevin Barnes, and he has this to say about karaoke:

At the time of our chat, Barnes was busy poring over the fakebooks in anticipation of a series of karaoke performances for which Of Montreal will serve as the backing band. "Because karaoke is always a bit campy, you know, and gives people a chance to sing their favorite Elton John song or whatever, it's not necessarily the coolest material, so we're trying to pick somewhat campier stuff, 'Islands in the Stream' and 'Let's Get It On', you know, funnier, somewhat comical stuff that you wouldn't really necessarily put on a mixtape."

He laughed, then diplomatically added, "Well, I don't know, I guess it all depends on what kind of person you are. It gets a bit weird doing like, 'Hot Blooded', or whatever, like, we're doing some Foreigner and Boston, and you realize, 'God, these songs are really... bad. Or just silly.' But at the same time, there's a reason why they're fun to sing, because they're kind of extreme."

Umm, I'm calling "More Than A Feeling." What would you guys wanna sing?
