…and they’re telling Fred Mckinnon to stop singing.
How freaking great is that track?
.
Reminds me of a TDY trip a couple of years ago.
Working for the Department of the Interior, me + 1 other auditor from Denver went to ?Kansas,? where she was friends with the person whose books we were looking over.
This host and her hubby took us out one evening to a Karaoke bar, where absolutely nobody would get up and sing.
Now, I’m a pretty good singer, when its religious music in my range.
With just a little prodding, and no karaoke experience, I volunteered to sing a number.
The DJ showed me a list to choose from, and I chose a number I really liked, “She Drives Me Crazy,” FYC.
Oops.
That song is like 2 octaves higher than any second tenor can sing.
I did a really bad job. It was funny.
After that, seeing a good singer do so badly, there was a line of folks signed up to sing. Some did even worse than me, but we all had fun. All it took was one fool to break the ice.
….
Fred is just liberating the self-conscious in his congregation to cut loose and look like fools. It can be a real blessing to do something foolish like that and have a good laugh.
If you can remember, that’s what karaoke was about before the advent of “American Idol.”
Singing is NOT just for the talented.
It’s for anyone who wants to have fun.
In fact, if everyone promises to sing at the next ColoPols confab, I’ll promise to attend.
No better way to bond (except maybe to serve together in a foxhole, and I’m not willing to do that with some of you.)
.
but once I was in the exact same position, having to get it started. I picked “Istanbul vs. Constantinople” by TMBG.
Unfortunately it turned out I had memorized the timing in the LIVE version, and the studio version is totally different. I missed every cue. Occasionally I would try to listen to myself and the background music, and it would sound all wrong, and I’d just stop and wait for the music to get to the familiar part. Eventually the karaoke host had to try singing along with me just so I’d stick with it and not embarrass myself too much.
But one of those karaoke women ended up taking me home, so it was worth it in the end.
but once I get a few in me I don’t mind. When I lived in Japan I was really shy when I got to the bar but by closing time they sometimes had to take the mike out of my hands..
wait, I got one more…
Fun times
Karaoke is life and death, man.
that by the time the fight hit the street, someone else was already “singing.”
until 1:15, God where do you find this stuff?
Either give me a call or email me wanda@8riverslodo.com.
Your musical taste is concerning me – no seriously, it really is!
