Karaoke
So a couple of nights ago I got invited out to a Karaoke night. I usually just stumble upon them on accident.
To me, the whole concept is strange: people earnestly singing songs in front of total strangers, ostensibly for their approval. For free no less. It made me think, why do people do this? Can't I do this in my car or in my office or some other place where I am by myself? Then I realized I am weird myself so decided to create this thread. |

Re: Karaoke
Please clarify "do you/have you participated regularly..."
I have participated. I have not done (and do not do) so regularly. I have never done so sober. I have abused Johnny Cash, Hank Williams, David Allan Coe, Merle Haggard, Franz Ferdinand, and Michael Jackson. |

Re: Karaoke
cj,
I guess the question is how proactive you are in seeking out Karaoke guy to request a song that you can sing. I realize that a lot of people are passive and either join in as a group or have a song requested specifically for them, that's why I phrased the question that way... |

This is not me. I have, more than once, drunkenly belted a well-known tune in an ill-conceived effort to make fun of myself (and win the admiration and validation of the faceless masses, let's be honest). |

[/ QUOTE ] Interesting responses thus far. Yours is closest to my one and only act: I pick "Sweet Caroline" and scream the song at the top of my lungs a la Sam Kinison, e.g. "good times never felt so good AND THEN YOU SLEPT AROUND ON ME YOU BITCH WHORE SLUUT I HOPE YOU DIE AND GO TO HELL OH OOOOOOOOOOOOOH". This of course receives a tepid response by those who take it more seriously, but I enjoy it. I guess I have a case of stage fright where I can't bring myself to belt out a tune in earnest and risk public rejection, but at the same time I'm baffled when I see things like a chick singing the theme to "Titanic" and acting all like she's on stage at the Grammys. |

Re: Karaoke
the only thing worse than a karaoke singer who can't hold a tune is the ones who choose rap songs.
edited to add "Speedy Gonzales" ftw |
