Anybody ever perform Karaoke?

[P&R Fan]

Last night Missus Fan and I went out to eat at a sports bar. They had Karaoke. Looked fun. I went up and got in line. Sang One for my Baby, and one more for the road by Sinatra.
Old ladies in the front row swooned.
Maybe this will open up a new career for me.

Sober... No

Drunk... Yes

I've never gotten drunk enough to try it myself but i enjoy watching.

Myself and a friend with our spouses stopped at a lounge that had karaoke.
In a rare display of courage my friends spouse and I sung "You Are My Sunshine" to a packed house. I guess there were no Nashville Talent Scouts present as we received no offers from Record Companies or Hollywood.

 

[Badger Matt]

Sober... No

Drunk... Yes

Yeah, once. In Korea. Don't see it happening again. I just don't drink that much any more.

 

[zzzippper]

We have a Magic Mike that score your performance. I hane never scored higher than zero.

 

[reddogge]

I'd never be drunk enough.

Karaoke is the Japanese term for tone deaf drunk with a microphone.

 

[Marshwheeling]

Perform karaoke? Commit is more like it.

Just once, at Terlingua Ranch, where we left our tow vehicles and staged a moto trip to Mexico. The karaoke-wallah was prodding me to step up. I asked him if he had any George Jones because they never have it and sure enough, he didn't.

The guy kept pushing. I figured the last song he would have in a Texas bar was North to Alaska. Dang if he didn't have it. Fortunately I was among friends, and no one there could sing any better. It wasn't pretty.

Jim,

Did the women in the audience do anything really cool like:

a) throwing their underwear on stage, or

b) stuffing money in your clothes (my personal preference for my S&W gun budget), or

c) offering their house keys to you?

Now that we have the Equal Rights Amendment, it's a brand new ball game out there................!!!

 

[Chuck24]

I can't sing, I know I can't sing, so I don't. Wish some of the people on American Idol had the same information.

 

[Dennis The B]

I've been accused, but since there are no tapes, it didn't happen.

 

[Onomea]

I had a Japanese buddy, bald as a cue ball, liked to sing, "I Left My Hair in San Francisco."

I ref my haaaairrr.....

I do karaoke occasionally.

 

[shouldazagged]

An alternate translation from the Japanese is "poor judgment while frog-eyed drunk", but no matter.

I sing "Old Man River" at least one tone below the score, so I doubt they'd have much I could sing. I'd make "Singing In The Rain" sound like the voice of doom.

 

[bricker]

In my previous life, as a bricklayer, I would sing while I worked. Kinda passes the time and makes the work seem less dreary, I suppose. I had a guy tell me once that he wishes HE could sing. Now he wishes I could. So I kept my day job.

 

[oneflycowboy]

While I myself have never got up to sing anything, I have had an opportunity to listen to a few late night crooners.

It made me envy the deaf...

Put-Down

40th HS reunion(1993):

We were doing a group Karaoke watching the screen and singing "Yakety Yak" (Coasters). Standing next to me was the hottest girl in our class (still hot) and she said to me, "Are you kidding me?" It was then that I wished I could sing and play the piano like Jerry Lee Lewis.

 

[captorquewrench]

In over 10 years of formal music education, decades more as a career musician, and the ONE thing I learned in all this time about karaoke is....don't.

 

[rwsmith]

I sing on stage....

My wife and I both have sung on stage whether solo, duet or part of a larger group. I swore I'd never sing Karaoke but once I was at a town on business where no one knew me, and a REALLY like my tunes from the old catalog so I gave it a fling one night.

Is that when someone is choking and you cut a hole in their throat and insert a tube so they can breathe? If so then no I have never preformed a Karaoke on anyone.
