I find it funny that Japanese people will go to these karaoke places / rent a machine for a couple of hours / and then go to a private booth and sing to themselves

They sing to the group of people that they go with.  It's a lot better than going to a Karaoke bar in the states in my opinion, where you have to wait an hour before your turn, forget what you were going to sing, and then sing it in front of a bunch of people you don't know.  And at 800yen(apx $7.60)/hour/person you get a private room and all the alcohol you can drink.

To filthee: yes will definitely be alc fueled.  You can order sake, beer, wine, and other cocktails (mostly chu-hi  which is a mix of sho-chu - a Korean liquor kind of like vodka - with fruit juice). 

But that aside - I need some songs dammit.  If you guys don't say anything good, I'm going to end up singing "Come Sail Away" by Styx...  I felt like such a pussy the last time I got drunk and sang that

I want something that will make people go like this

Music

The show's theme tune was credited to Henry Vars with lyrics by William "By" Dunham. In France the melody was known as "La Romance de Paris" ("The Love Song of Paris"). The words to the Flipper theme:

They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder,
Lying there under, under the sea!
Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he's near!
They call him Flipper, Flipper, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Flipper lives in a world full of wonder,
Lying there under, under the sea!

The first five episodes of the second season feature a completely different recording of the theme, sung by Frankie Randall, with different lyrics:

We call him Flipper, Flipper, you'll see him smilin'
Right from the start, he'll play it smart.
Beware of Flipper, Flipper, he's such a lover,
You will discover when he steals your heart!
When you're feelin' sad, when you're feelin' blue,
He'll make you glad, yes, that's what he'll do,
And what he can do you'll never believe,
For he's got tricks up his sleeve!
Beware of Flipper, Flipper, he's such a lover,
You will discover when he steals your heart!
