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!

I'm moving to Seattle and opening this bar. Jilli can help me decorate and choose songs.

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.

Here's one for DXM (or any fan of subtlety, pacing, mastery and narrative). A lovely piece about Vin Scully.

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?)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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

And slowly our brains all orient towards the true north of Opening Day...

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

"Son Of A Preacher Man" and "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'" also do nicely.

Thanks for the tip. I'll remember that if I'm ever as brave as I was last night. I think, though, I'll just remain a one ~~trick~~ song pony. I got a decent enough reaction with that song, and I'm not willing to push it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Of course, I also like "We Built This City."

I used to turn the volume up on Night Flight whenever this one came on.
