that was taken when i was too young to drink- hence the hiding the black X's on my hands behind my back. so yeah, Karaoke stone cold sober.

Never ever stone cold sober. When I was bombed though....Sure. I SUCK at singing. I gotta be blown out of my head, filled with courage and delusions, to make me go up there.
no.
there is no mixture of dr*gs or alcohol that could ever make me go up on a stage or in front of people and sing.
no.
no.
Yes and yes! Would do it again! Will do it again!

Love karaoke! Last one was at this redneck/yuppie hybrid camping park. They all have these fat 100K trailers and rvs + burly golf carts (no golf course) haha. Was interesting. There are several good nights out here in the cities. I would do it sober but it is generally just part of a night out so .... usually not. :)
OEC
different club. Those pics are from Sardo's in LA, whereas Johnny's jaw was splintered in a strip club in FL. The first pic was taken on the night when Hunter S. Thompson died, hence the black armband. The second pic was taken by the every loverly miss Amelia about 2 years prior. Johnny's jaw was at least three years prior, i think.Quote:

Sober......nope. Can't say that I have
they say the welsh are either singers or auritors.
i'm the exception.
i dont sing. ever (aside from in the car on my tod, but who doesn't). even got excluded from the inevitable and otherwise unavoidable school chiors i'm THAT bad
Ran karaoke for a while and sang a whole alot. There is what we call the 90/10 rule. 90% are too drunk to care and the other 10 won't care by middle of the night. Always help when you have some white zombie in the catalog too.
I like you with your top off.Quote:

Moving on.... The best official karaoke I ever had was the last night of my trip to Europe a few years back. We (all 30+ of us) were in Amsterdamn and decided to go see a Cyprus Hill concert. It was fuckin' awesome. Afterwards we were looking for something to do and spotted a coffee shop that was doing karaoke and after each song they gave you a tape of your performance! Fuckin' A!
So I got my name on the list and enlisted my little brother and a few of my friends but didn't tell them what song we were going to be doing.
Then my hopes were dashed when the DJ said "Okay, we've got to close up soon, so for the last song I'm going to draw a name out of the hat."
But then fortune favored the brave indeed as my name was called and my intrepid band of drunken Americans took the stage, still not knowing what musical fate I had in store for them.
And then it happened.
Is that the opening notes to a Queen song?
No! It is the opening notes to Sir Vanilla Ice's magnum opus, Ice Ice Baby.
I have to find and upload that tape. It was brilliant.
Yes. and sober. Only twice though, first time was in high school with a group of friends in the gym on a rainy day, so it was in front of half the school. We sang New Kids on the Block: Right Stuff, yea, we thought it was funny. Second time was at a Bachelorette Party, I had a couple drinks earlier, but I was pretty sober. She had all the girls come up and sing Walk Like An Egyptian.
I will never sing by karaoke by myself. I do sing often, not well enough to get up and belt out something in front of strangers, at least with other people around they can drown out my voice, haha!
oops, I didn't realize there was the sober option. of course I have. just not as much often as drinking.
nope it's the opening notes to david bowie's "under pressure" which sir vanilla was royally sued for using with out permission.Quote:

Yeah, once at a company party. I was kinda drunk so that's why I did it, never would do it sober. My wife and her friends go all the time, there are ten story karaoke bars everywhere, even have one in our neighborhood. You get your own private room and food and drinks delivered to your room.
My japanese reading skills is not up to par so I kept messing up my lines. I guess I will have to memorize the songs I want to sing if I ever do it again.
if i remember correctly it was Queen Song with David Bowie (released on a Queen Album etc...)Quote:

First time the other day. Cold sober.
The machine had Love Will Tear Us Apart and Goodie Two-Shoes. I had to!
Twice a week down at the local dive bar/gay bar. It's a hoot.
A fair amount, not lately and never sober.
Once I sang "What took you so long" by Emma Bunton and later some boofhead king hit me from the side knocking me completely off my barstool. Everyone used to say that my girlfriend of the time looked just like Baby Spice. Boofhead was trying to pick her up. Still not sure how/if these facts are tied together...

aww he should have picked you up ,you were the one he knocked over. i once got kicked off the stage after requesting the old jazz standarrd "more than you know" and receiving mariah carrie song by the same title.got a bunch of attitude cause the squeakers version(totally different song)was all they had....i cant stand the squeaker.
Yes, I think I was sober both times. First I sang "To Sir With Love" which is a song from the sixties by a singer named "Lulu", I do a DEAD ON Lulu imitation!!
OK so let me finish my post because I was rudely interrupted here at work, and had to go downstairs to give the corporate attorney's house keys to the driver that could barely speak english...
SO, I sang "To Sir With Love", but the mic was turned down so low that no one really heard me....
The other time I sang a Blondie song, I think it was "Heart Of Glass"...
I don't think I would ever make it on American Idol, let's just put it that way... I'm better in punk or gothic/fetish bands wearing lots of eyeliner and corsets, etc...
I stand corrected.:DQuote:

karoke is great. I don't know why it has such a bad rep.
It probably is by Dupont Circle, although I don't know the name either. I'm having visions of "Lost in Translation". As long as the sushi is good, I think I'll be fine :)Quote:
