goth karaoke
I'm moving to Seattle and opening this bar. Jilli can help me decorate and choose songs.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Ursula's song was definitely what I was thinking about, Jilli.
Here's one for DXM (or any fan of subtlety, pacing, mastery and narrative). A lovely piece about Vin Scully.

Our wings are not tired.
I've never done karaoke. I'm not shy, or subject to stage fright, but I don't sing in front of people. My kids hear my morning showtunes and Brendon and I sing LOUD to vintage rock in the car to torture the children. Other than those exceptions I only sing when I am alone. Singing is a private thing for me. This probably won't change unless I go through some type of delayed middle aged crazy thing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My singing sucks, so no karaoke. I'm totally down with lip-synching and backup dancing, though.
From IMDB:
More people watched cable networks than the broadcast networks during the February sweeps, according to Jack Wakshlag, chief research officer for Turner Broadcasting. In an interview with the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Wakshlag said that cable stations drew 49.4 percent of all viewers versus 48.6 percent for the broadcast networks. "Unless something extraordinary happens, broadcast networks will never win another sweeps," he predicted.

Thanks, Perkins!

Please? I have a DJ for the non-karaoke nights, and we could have monthly drag king nights and import meara for them.

Yeah, people don't want to hear me sing. I'm always amazed that babies actually will go to sleep when I sing them a lullabye. Of course, it may be a defensive reaction.

I really want to go sing kareoke, now. I think if we put ita in the Britney Spears backup dancer coat and headset we would even have a wonderful photo opportunity.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Heh. Way ahead of you, David. Check my LJ.

Up with the sun
I would probably need very little encouragement to do karaoke, but thankfully it's never come up as The Thing To Do. I have no voice (I can carry a tune more or less, but I'm VERY breathy and don't have much range) and that makes me sad.
I have a list as long as my arm of songs I would like to sing, if I someday wake up with a pretty voice.
(Yes, I have a complex about this, why do you ask?)
