Kamikaze Karaoke

Similar to regular karaoke, but in this version each participant takes to the microphone without any foreknowledge as to what song they will be performing and must complete said song whether they know it or not. Best results are achieved on at-home karaoke machines where discs can be inserted and played completely at random.
Really, kamikaze karaoke!?! I got stuck singing fucking Wham again? Really!?!

Karaoke Club 

A bunch of drunk guys singing obnoxiously loud to classic songs. This group of drunk men (and sometimes women) stand upon a table with drinks in hand. This is commonly in the form of an old coffee table, pool table, or kitchen table. The songs are usually by Billy Joel, David Bowie, or Journey.
We were so drunk last night the Karaoke Club broke the table!

A place where you go when you can't sing woth a shit.
This is karaoke not American Idol! No professionals welcome here!

Helen Keller karaoke 

When you're singing along with a song and reach a part of the lyrics that you don't know, instead making vague sounds and grunts to imitate them.
"I couldn't understand what the singer was saying, so I had to resort to Helen Keller karaoke."

Method Karaokeing 

When one sings karaoke and acts like the person who sings the original version of the song
Guy 1: "Dude, you wanna do karaoke tonight?"
Guy 2: "Sure. But not if you're gonna sing 'I Can't Get No Satisfaction' and dance around or sing 'Wonderwall' while leaning into the mic with your hands behind your back! I hate Method Karaokeing!"
Guy 1: "How about I sing 'Won't Get Fooled Again' and I swing the mic lead around?"

Treadmill Karaoke 

When obliviously lip synching along to an mp3 player mid treadmill session progresses to belting out a line or a whole tune in a busy gym environment.

The Treadmill Karaoke-er may be oblivious to their faux pas, and may result in declarations of love, hate or violence to other gym users depending on musical preference.
Dude 1: Did that girl on the treadmill just ask me to put my hands up if I'm in love?

Dude 2: Hmmm, I think she's just doing some treadmill karaoke to JLS
