Please Say You Aren't A Fan of Karaoke

I think some people are confusing "karaoke bar" with "Carnegie Hall"

None of you people know what torture is until you help out at a DJ booth at a weekend kiddie fair for three days of Karaoke. The little cuties are precious, but it's like having your sanity tested by the most heinous means. They lined up eagerly to sing in high-pitched off-key sometimes even screaming voices one after the other. From a two inch thick book of songs, over 60% of them picked "Baby O Baby". I could not get that song out of my head for weeks. I'd be almost to sleep when it would pop right in as performed by a cute little tyke with the voice of satan. The people in the apartments nearby were seriously thinking of homicide or suicide after several hours too. They came over more than once to beg us to turn it down--way way down. The organizers wanted the sound up so we had to just tell them to take it up with them. The kids were cute, but I still get the shakes every time I hear that song somewhere and I bet I'm not the only one. Come to think of it, I should have made this entry under the "never again" section.

I've had good fun making a fool of myself singing karaoke and that, along with alcohol, is what made it fun to do. I can't sing anything but country and after a few drinks I sound pretty darn good. It's not something I set out to do and you'll never see me signing a record deal although with auto-tune I could probably make millions like all of the other hacks out there today. It's all about being an idiot and having fun with whomever dared you to get on stage.

You might be the next big thing My son used to buy albums of music known as "screamo". Yep, sounded just the way it's named. I thought if they can sell that to people, anyone could hit it big in the music world
