Though I'd like to see someone do "Echoes" just to see the screen say "2,435 Beat Musical Break".<BR/><BR/>Another awkward moment I witnessed was Jimmy Valpo performing Paul Simon's "The Boxer". After singing the fourth screen of the song's "lie-la-lie" coda, Jimmy couldn't keep it together when page after page filled with "lie-la-lie"s kept coming.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07261334331951634891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141139839966820748.post-71798609838169712822009-02-25T21:16:00.000-06:002009-02-25T21:16:00.000-06:00"Chocolate Salty Balls" by an overanimated octagen..."Chocolate Salty Balls" by an overanimated octagenarian at an undercrowded bar in Brighton, England in the dead of winter.Audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516775184275781073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1141139839966820748.post-22740865369797648992009-02-25T20:39:00.000-06:002009-02-25T20:39:00.000-06:00Here are my choices for bad karaoke songs:-"One In...Here are my choices for bad karaoke songs:<BR/>-"One In a Million" by Guns 'N Roses;<BR/>-"Imagine" by John Lennon;<BR/>-"Echoes" by Pink Floyd<BR/>-Any song that was originally intended to be funny. Because you won't be funny; and<BR/>"Bros" by Panda Bear. <BR/><BR/>A few other thoughts...<BR/><BR/>The amount of times I've seen someone sing karaoke and thought to myself, "Man, that was great, I'm really glad I was here to see that," is nearly non-existent. Maybe once. At Piece in Chicago during rock and roll karaoke I saw some guy do "Dream Police" by Cheap Trick and he pretty much owned it. But rock and roll karaoke is a bit different and it would have sucked had the band not been there. <BR/><BR/>I once saw a guy do an Eminem song at a bar, and it wasn't so much that the song sucked (although it did), it was the fact that he was trying really hard to be good, as if there might have been some hip-hop mogul in the crowd at this Midwestern sports bar trying to scout (white) talent. <BR/><BR/>Also, I love how this is the second post where we've had to post a warning to not channel your inner-Seth Putnam. That guy must be proud.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03622585337986072758noreply@blogger.com
