Step away from the microphone (Language)

[Hobbs]

Just wondering... what does your dad do if someone starts to sing the wrong song? I have this recurring desire to sing Stevie Wonder's "Superstition" to the music of Destiny's Child's "Bootylicious"...

(tempered by the fact that I cannot sing, that is...)

Never known anyone to do that....my dad is a professional musician, so, he might just let them, or, in my opinion, make fun of them to no end (never try to beat my dad in insults).

I have a recording of The Blind Boys of Alabama doing that.


I've discovered that you can sing just about anything to the tune of Amazing Grace, and you can sing Amazing Grace to the tune of just about anything.

You know I just gave that a try and Amazing grace fits the beat of House of the Rising sun pretty well.

[ArcticChicken]

and i'm reminded of a gal i know who liked to sing Amazing Grace to the tune of House of the Rising Sun. ... weird, but interesting.

We used to go to Kareoke every week after the RPG group closed down the gaming store. Being the borderline psychotic that I am, I got bored with just singing.. So I started bringing props. Eventually that got dull, so I rigged the prop guitarr to EXPLODE..



Eventually I got bored with THAT.. and then I rigged a FRIEND to explode along WITH the guitar... I kinda got a wakeu-up call when someone tried to throw a pitcher of vodka martinis onto my still-burning friend..

[Evil Queen]

Singing over the PA system? LAAAAME!

[Megg]

I had a girl in once that sang Baby Got Back in a Donald Duck voice.

That is full of awesome!

I would never sing in front of people. No way, no how. Especially people I don't know.

[South Texan]

You mean singing off key and off beat while slurring obscene lyrics that you alone think are hilarious but do not even come close to fitting the rhyme scheme of the song doesn't impress everyone and turn on chicks?

Durn. Another one of my fraternity's beliefs shot to Blazes.

We couldn't cut him off mid-song, as he is a good friend of the owner.

Actually, the only time we've cut somebody off is when they've had some issue with someone in the bar, and they started talking shit on the microphone.

As for singing different words to a song, we don't care as long as it's not just god-awful offensive (like this guy) People do that all the time, and it doesn't bother me.

[Snowbird]

I'd be tempted to have a plug pulling sound blurb to interrupt and cut them off.

*Wahwahwah! Toilet flush* Next!

I don't know, is that considered something a KJ can do? I've never even seen a karaoke night, let alone performed in one.

[Horsetuna]

Is it ok if you sing a different song? AT one night I went to, two guys sang a rap - but their own version of it. It didnt match the original song at all.

I guess you could ask the KJ first right to make sure?

[PepperElf]

and now I have Sweet Caroline (the neil diamond version) in my head.

now granted i've done different lyrics at time, but they weren't *inappropriate* lyrics... Sang one of the songs from Evita, and when the kareoke machine spun off into the Madonna version I stuck to the original stage lyrics.

Garh, i hate those people. my dad just cuts them off...

Look douchebag,

The song does not go "Sweet Caroline, mother fucker mother fucker, good times never seemed so good."

Likewise, the last 30 seconds of Billie Jean do not say "She fucked me in the ASS in the ASS in the ASS"

That's not cute, asshole. I don't care if you've known the owner since you were born. You won't be singing on my system again.

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I wonder how many drinks it took for that to become clever.

[rts]

That's just...immature. I don't know why some adults think they can get away with acting like junior highschoolers in public. You made the right decision in banning him.

I do!!!! It's called BOOZE!
