Karaoke Night at the bar

[thepeopleschamp]

What's up with every bar doing karaoke on the weekend? I'm surprised how popular it is! I'd never sing in front of so many people, and not because I'm afraid to get up in front of people, but because it seems kind of stupid to be singing in a bar to a bunch of drunks. Some of the people I've heard are actually quite decent, but most peeps just plain out suck! Does anyone here actually sing karaoke? For fun or to show off your singing skills?
For my 2nd job, I'm a chef in this cafe, and every weekend I keep hearing the same people sing the same damned songs... and they're not even good! It' makes me wonder if they're trying to entertain others with their great voices or if they're really just singing for themseves. I don't go to bars myself because I don't drink, but is this what happens in most bars on the weekend? Seems kind of lame after a while. :confused:
Hope I didn't offend anyone, but I guess the peeps I have to keep hearing every damn weekend are really starting to get to me because they're really THAT BAD. And it's just not the guys either, the women suck too but because some of them are kind of hot the whole damn bar claps! Ha ha ha, just goes to show that sometimes we care more about what we see than what we hear.
Has anyone here ever sung karaoke? What's your opinion, it's stupid or you like it?

I was just at one last night!

A friend and I made a pretty decent attempt at Reunited by the Carpenters complete with beer spilling and drinking while singing.

It was pretty awesome...some girls were drawn by our swaying back and forth while swinging so they came up to gather at the base of the stage but quickly left after they realized exactly how much beer we were actually spilling all over the place with our flailing arms. Mmm...fire hazard!

:rofl: :lol: :rofl: :lol: Dude that is pretty funny. Especially the song choice! Weren't you worried about sending the wrong message to the girls though by swaying to Reunited with another dude? You must've been really drunk, or uh, well...

Yea, we were pretty fucking toasted, rofl...


We would make a half-assed attempt at actually singing the verses but we gave up rather quickly and drank as much as we could until it was time for the chorus:


"I was a fool to ever leaaaaave yoo side...*insert 5 beers or vodkas*
reeeUNITED and it feeeel so GOOOodd...REUNITED COZ WE UNDAAAAAAHstooooddd"

Rinse, latter, and repeat!


Well...it was more of one of those arm around comrade's shoulder and swaying side-to-side (like when you sing "We are the Champions") so I don't think fired off any gay rays.

But yeah...I lost half a glass of my Guinness when I swayed a bit too fast and it just rushed out of my glass in a wave and all over this redhead.

I played it off pretty smooth though! I was coherent enough to do the Hogan "I can't hear you cheers" hand wave in a poor attempt at getting her to join us.

Annnnnnnnnnnnd that's when her group left....but the song must continue!!


Basically, whenever you go to a K joint you are obligated to perform the following:

Reunited - Carpenters
Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough - Michael Jackson (high-pitch is a must, I don't care how badly it fucks up your throat)
You Give Love a Bad Name - Jon Bon


Definately crowd pleasers and forgivable if butchered. Win win!
