Karaoke Bars would be cool(er) if they had…

…a look the other way policy on greenminded activities.

But seriously, I’ve figured out how to have fun at Karaoke bars; make up your own words. Last weak I tried it with "Addicted to Love". My sortofband did a rendition of it in college, we improvized all our words and music so I figured I’d have no problem, but I let one of the cooks join me for a duo type deal and he actually looked at the screen and sang the real stuff which through me off. So…this week I stepped up solo.

Under the name likeaghost, which confused the heck out of the DJ guy, I chose Stevie Wonder’s "Boogie on Reggae Woman" and spit my own words. At first it was rough. I had been practicing all weak as I washed dishes at work. All I have is what is in my mind during those hours, so I focused on creating rhymns form thin air. Once I got in the rhythm the words and ideas flowed smoothly. When it was over I put down the micropohone and walked back to my friends table, they were going nuts but I’m not sure how it went over with the general public. I got a few nods and what not, but I don’t wear my glasses out much in bars so I can’t see anything plus I could care less what anyone thinks of me. It’s all about the words, they have already been written a thousand times, I try to arrange them and put them where they need to be…

freestyle, topofthehead stuff is rough when it’s off the cuff

Sounds pretty cool, confuse the general public & DJ, have fun being original at a Karaoke Bar, you’ve definitely cracked the code on the whole indie Karaoke thrill…

I think Id like to do Chunks, Endless Nameless, Flight of the Porkchop (Randy Jane) or some Tiny Tim song.

Karaoke bars would be cooler if they had warning signs from the surgeon general over the entrance, and was obligated to inform every guest that karaoke bars in fact sucks ass.

There is nothing cheesy about Ani DiFranco.

I wouldn’t mind hearing a good version of "Untouchable Face", but if I preformed it then it probably would be a bit cheesy.

Seriously, Ani rules and welcome to the boards Mistresss
