*******

It has been a long week and I am so ready for some kick ass karaoke this week.  I’m gonna try at least one new song tonight maybe two….All depends on if I’m feeling it!  

*******

I must say that there are some pretty dandy singers here tonight.  I haven’t heard an out of tune singer yet.  The night is still young.

*******

Last week we had the MacNcheese guy singing the Humpty Dance.  This week we have a spunky red head gal bringing down the house!!!  Not the person I would have imagined to sing the song but way to rock it!

*******

Tonight has been filled with all kinds of great karaoke I just heard “Whole New World” from Alladian and for your listening pleasure a version of Oke from Muskogee that I have never heard!  Amazing(sarcasm included)

******* 

The night is complete when the staff and I dance to Paper Airplanes by MIA

********

GO Jr.from North Carolina GO ~~ Last Dance with Mary Jane…..Jr. is Freestylin’  Tom Petty … WOW!! 

********

Shake it like a polaroid picture…..Note to shelf: If you want people to dance while you sing or cheer really loudly BRING YOUR OWN POSSE!! 

*********

Thank you karaoke singers of the world for REALLY getting into your songs…..even if it means you have the urge to yell into the mic and you act on that urge.

********

All that and Chicken Wings…

E.O. 10.21.10

Good Evening Everyone!  Well tonight we may be store for some good crowds. The Ducks won their game tonight against UCLA and I’m pretty sure that people are going to want to celebrate the #1 team!

Tonight’s Line Up

1. Rocking w/ the Rhythm of the Rain by Judd's
2. We Belong by Pat Benatar 
3. Dream Lover by Bobby Darin
4. SheBop by Cyndia Lauper

Well two of the regulars to karaoke just made my night!  Jeremy is singing “Girl You’ll be a Woman Soon”  and now B-Rad with “Hey Kids Rock n Roll”  Way to Rock it Guys!!!

 ********

Now this is a guy singing a song that I don’t know BUT he reminds me of my cousins Nathan and Brian and I’m pretty sure that if they where to karaoke they would dance around just like this guy!

 ******** 

Back in the day my brother would get mad at me if I sang along with the guitar parts of a song.  Well I kinda understand why he would get upset now.  A young lady just sang Say it Ain’t so by Weezer and decided that it would be a grand idea to screech along with the guitar parts.  Not a good idea!  I don’t think I was ever that bad!

 ******** 

The Speakeasy is packed tonight!  Duck fans do know how to celebrate!

 ******** 

I was just up singing We Belong and the token drunk girl decided that she needed to dance on the stage with me……not to much of a fan when people pop my karaoke bubble.

 ******** 

Back Back Back it up….Stop and wiggle wit it!  To the windooooos … to the waaaaaaaaallls!  It’s a crowd pleaser! 

 ******** 

12:15am and it has slowed a bit …. the past three hours have been of the hook!  It was a super busy night for karaoke!  Fantabulous!

 ******** 

Alex + AC/DC = Kick Ass …… Shook Me All Night Long!

 ******** 

Just heard my first ear bleeder of the night…..me oh my!

There’s a first for everything…tonight’s first: live harmonica accompaniment with karaoke

As I was sitting here reading the EW, which is one of my weekly rituals, the karaoke crowd disappeared. =(  So sad…..how am I supposed to blog if there is no one to blog about.  It’s 11:45p and I have already sang 4 songs that never happens….. but because of this Jared and I got to sing 2 duets: “I Got You Babe & Dammit Janet”   Pretty Fantabulous if I do say so myself!
