who do karoake, but are like actually all serious about it?

Like the people who actually try to sing good, and think they ARE singing good.

Like people who sing Celine Dion, or that Black Velvet song?

I can't deal with these people.

Oh and the people who wear Christmas tree sweaters.

Or the Christmas tree earrings.

I know this is an awful thread.

It's just that every Christmas, i end up getting stuck watching some totally sober guy in a Christmas tree sweater singing Bryan Adams or the Everly Brothers, and I needed to get it out.

I am confused, are we talking about the funny people who sing Karaoke or those that wear novelty xmas earrings?

I am not of the opinion that they are necessarily the same people, although I do agree that both are funny.

PREDOMINANT said:

No, I don 't mean the purposley funny karoake people. Not the ones who sing love shack so they can drunkingly scream, TIN ROOF RUSTED at the top of theyre lungs. ( )

I mean the kaoroke people who actually TRY to sing good, yanno, the people who sang the star spangled banner at your highschool football game.

IMO, they are the same people who wear the sweaters and earings.

Both are gay and stupid.



totally cant type

you should do 'total eclipse of the heart' this year and totally lose your shit while you're singing it. like, stomp on tables and break into tears at the end.

Anx said:

Okay. Now I totally will, swear to God.


You've done that haven't you?

luv4all7 said:

only once, but it was my birthday and everyone else was drunk too.

Anx said:

Come to Christmas with me.

luv4all7 said:

only if we're doing 'paradise by the dashboard light'.

Anx said:

and leak a few drops in your panty pants

Anx said:

Deal.


And for my solo I have to do some REO Speedwagon. You can do Journey.


Journey edit.

i save that for my fergalicious medley.

Anx said:

No wonder I keep dreaming about you You're like a star and stuff.

Anx said:

now that's more than a few drops, lol


i seriously did do karaoke for the first time about 2 months ago
and was totally not serious about it since i can't sing to save
my life. and everyone was like "you weren't even trying!" before
they ran up there and made belief they were bryan freakin adams.

the screeching and squeeling was just nerve wrecking. give me a
group of people who do it for FUN any day.

The worst is the people who actually have to look at the moniter for the words.

And they're totally delayed. Something happens inside me when this happens. It's like I'm ready to explode. I can't listen.

luv4all7 said:

So you're annoyed by them, but not embarassed for them?

Normally, I feel like dying when somebody is crashing and burning. Except this one time when this huge burly biker dude was murding Rock the Casba by the Clash. It was sooooo aweful, but he was loving his own performance so much, that I couldn't stop laughing.

luv4all7 said:

i can't help it, but off-key singing makes me laugh. like, hysterics. for some reason it's the funniest thing ever to me. people who sing in tiny, shy voices to loud, up-tempo, energetic songs? comedy gold. people who sing whitney houston in a perfect monotone? i'm on the floor.

it's funny you mention REO Speedwagon - i think 'i can't fight this feeling' is the most mangled karaoke song of all time. if you sang this song to me in a straight monotone, i probably WOULD pee myself by the chorus.

Anx said:

YES! The mono tone thing is hilarious, I agree.

I'm just annoyed by the ones that are like way off tempo. It's like when your in the car with someone and they're singing and they;re like 4 beats off. It angers me like nothing else. I feel like saying, do you not HEAR yourself??? Are you deaf??? YOU SUCK, stop it!

OMG its the worst.

I like a song with a big creschendo at the end. (No clue how ya spell that)

Where I can just belt out the shit.

REOSpeedwagon is perfect for that.

When I said that I LOVE You, I meant that I'd love you FOREVER!!!!!\

Love it.

Self-knowledge is the road to wisdom.

I saved two pics of you. Want me to post them?

We need a Dani Karaoke pic. You can use the swiffer as mic!

HamsterHuey said:

I hate you so bad it hurts.

I'm not sure, will I be embarrased by them?

No, I guess not, I have no shame.

Oh, and wait a till the holidays are over Herman.

I'll have kaorake pics for ya.

AsianBomb777 said:

That would be a hard song to do.

I don't feel embarrased for them.....they bug the shit outta me. Like worse than the people that pull out in front of you in a cadillac boat and then go 2.

I feel like beating the fuck out of them.

luv4all7 said:

I got mistletoe. We're so going to french.

HamsterHuey said:

Um okay.

But how do you feel about karaoke?

I think it'd be theraputic for me to get my rage out this holiday. To like actually tell one of these people, they look stupid and that they should shut up because everyone hates them, and they are the reason the non smokers are going out into a blizzard for a cigarette break anyways. Because if they have to hear you sing anymore they will stab themselves with a fork.

luv4all7 said:

why do i get the feeling that your anger is directed
to one person in particular. lol. is it a friend or,
even worse, a family member?

i think it's torturous when you are a person who loves music and you are subjected to people who don't really care about music, in a musical setting. plus they're tipsy. it's a kind of hell, actually.

luv4all7 said:

I did karaoke. And won. I did Koos Alberts, so that was easy. And everybody was drunk. Then it is even easier. I do not think karoake should be attempted without alcohol outside Japan.
