kareoke is japanese for tone deaf

and speaking of deaf kareoke... after work i'm going to el torito's kareoke night and i'm gonna sing it like i'm deaf, and hopefully piss off/ offend/ enrage all the patrons, or make them laugh till they wet themselves....

i love being me

ugh! Karaoke CAN be fun........unless you have a few kinds of people and the following people are ALWAYS there to ruin it.

1.) The Karaoke Queen - This is the girl who, though she can carry a tune, insists on hogging the mic with several Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston or other horribly crappy diva songs. She also insists on gratuitous vibrata (sp?) and generally thinks she's way better than she actually is.

2.) The Meatloaf/Grease Couple - This is the tandem consisting of one guy and one girl who INSIST on doing either Paradise by the Dashboard Light or Summer Lovin'. Not only do they pierce the eardrums of the innocent, they also do all of the accompanying stage antics for each song.

3.) The Re-runners - this is the guy or girl who you see every week, doing the same song, in the same key.

4.) The Drunken Beefheads - be it fratboys, lifeguards or otherwise....these jackoffs consider it entertainment to drunkenly and loudly slur the words to your favorite Steppenwolf songs. This is immediately followed by high fives.

5.) Captain Inappropriate - This is the guy who always picks a song that just should NOT be done at karaoke due either to length, or sheer boredon. The Favorite request of Captain Inappropriate is "The End" by the Doors. Yeah, as a general rule, try to steer away from spoken word on Karaoke night.

Also, by no means do I mean to portray myself as superior. Karaoke night should be spent knocking a few back, having some fun with your friends, and hamming it up a little. I'm sure on the occasion that I actually do get up and sing, there are those who make fun of me. But I at least hope to avoid being "that guy"

Oh fuck, I would KILL to see someone do The End at karaoke. That's about the best idea I ever heard. Get your dick out and everything!

My personal favorite is The Immigrant Song.

WHA-AAA_AAAAA -AAAAH!
WHA-AAA_AAAAA -AAAAH!
WE COME FROM THE LAND OF THE ICE AND SNOW
FROM THE MIDNIGHT SUN WHERE THE HOT SPRINGS BLOW
THE HAMMER OF THE GODS WILL DRIVE OUR SHIPS TO NEW LANDS
TO FIGHT THE HORDE, SINGING AND CRYING, VALHALLA, I AM COMING!

Swear to god it's the best karaoke song ever, especially if you do it in a death metal voice

Well Anais, if they all looked like you.....it wouldn't matter what they singing

It'd be kind of like wayne's world... I'd just hear "Dream Weaver" playing in my head and drool on myself.

Karaoke=Empty Orchestra

its fun to go on stage at karaoke places and "sing" a song in your best henry kissinger voice. totally deadpan. everything's funnier when you're henry kissinger.

Karaoke is so funny but incredibly painful. I can't sing worth a flying SHIT so if I get talked into it I sing parodies of songs my friends and I wrote. Ice Ice Baby is the most fun to tear apart

well.. i got to do my kareoke bit tonight.. and basically i'm never allowed to sing kareoke again.... god bless the police's roxanne... even though i wanted to do bring da pain from method man
