Ted Leo's "Indie Rock Karaoke" Song List Revealed

Ted Leo's "Indie Rock Karaoke" Song List Revealed

Get your reading glasses, because we have the contents of the song binder at New York magazine's Andrew W.K.-hosted, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists-backed "Indie Rock Karaoke". The event, which we like to call Three Awesome Things Together in One Place, takes place at Brooklyn's Studio B on December 3, as previously reported.

Among the songs Leo and his Pharmacists will offer aspiring vocalists are a couple they've previously covered ("Since U Been Gone", "Dancing in the Dark"), some rock classics (by the Who, Creedence, and the Stooges), a few deeper punk cuts (the Saints' "(I'm) Stranded" and Stiff Little Fingers' "Suspect Device"), and the Outfield's "Your Love".

Here's a thought for Harmonix: Just copy this tracklist (see below) and make it the next Rock Band. Please?
