we had an informal office outing and went to Brass Monkey on Wilshire Blvd for Karaoke. O-M-G. It was sooooo much fun.

I sang:

Let's Go Crazy
Suspicious Minds
Darling Nikki
Lady Marmalade (I had the Mya part)
The Glamorous Life (I threw in "don't ya wish your girlfriend was hot like me?" after the first verse and the crowd went crazy!!!)

I think we're gonna make it a bi-weekly thing!

And u? What songs do u dream about?

the lion sleeps tonight.

i love the commercial that uses that song!

I'd be horrified if someone put me forward for karaoke as I've got a terrible voice. I might sing 'Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?' by Culture Club or something.

Mach said:

Azure is the only other person I've heard talk about that song...she loves it!

madartista said:

the lyrics are kinda.....naughty if you think about them.
which i don't, of course

i've never done karaoke. it scares my pants off just thinking about it.

altho the karaoke in Lost In Translation looked kinda nice. I think I

could handle karaoke with a room full of drunk Japanese

real karaoke, i mean the variety to be found in hostess bars and other drinking establishments in japan IS scary. and funny

XxAxX said:

why is it scary? do the Japanese come up and rip your
clothes off once you're up there singing your heart out?

applekisses said:

I IT TOO !!

Shay and I taught it to her Ma while we were starnded in GC ... everyday we would sing black betty

I've done karaoke a few times.
The second time, my friends put my name in without my knowing. I was sooooo mad!
But I sang anyway. Cyndi Lauper, Time After Time. The bar cheered. It was a gay bar.

CarrieMpls said:

Great choice! I can totally imagine you doing that.

madartista said:

It's a really easy song to sing. lol.

i can see it now. after hours of tormenting i get up

Karaoke Man: "what song you want?"

Isten: "Road to Hell" by Chris Rea

Karaoke Man: "ok, Dancing Queen it is!"

~starts the song~

IstenSzek said:

it's taken seriously there, and a LOT of alcohol is usually involved

CarrieMpls said:

i'll have to do that sometime. i did sing a snippet of it last night, impromptu. one of my compatriots fell, so being the jukebox I am, I sang to him, "If you fall I will catch you, I'll be waiting..."



and someone did sing "True Colors"

madartista said:

Okay, TRUE COLORS gets me right behind the knees. I love that song but it makes me cry.


My song of choice would probably be FOREVER IN MY LIFE. It is such a fun song. Although I like to sing the background.

I would also like to do PANAMA by Van Halen.

this was a Japanese bar. there were three older Japanese gentlemen who sang

GIRL FROM IPANEMA
STRANGERS IN THE NIGHT
don't remember what the other guy did.

Mach said:

Oh, that's for real? I thought you were making up goofiness!!! Tell me about this song!

i did 'total eclipse of the heart' once. it was my birthday and i was drunk. it wasn't pretty.

madartista said:

You are SUCH the jukebox.

Anxiety said:

i'd pay to see that!

madartista said:

you'd have to!

Anxiety said:

If I had to pay I would "Turn arounddddd....." and go home.

Anxiety said:
