After making sure our breath was nice and spicy, we headed one block east to Remote Lounge for the "Welcome Back Grant Karaoke Spectacular!"

It was super early, but I decided to pop in and say hi to Sid and Buddy in the basement. Buddy told me that he wanted to me to see if my new camera was fast enough the capture his new, "flaming hand" pyrotechnic toy. (Because, hey, pyrotechnics takes karaoke to a whole new level). Here he is...ready...

Then Grant and Buddy teamed up for one of the most explosive performances of Van Halen's "Panama" I've ever seen. Between the two of them, they managed to pull about half of and six "Faces of Rock." Here's Grant pulling the "Oh My God!"

Hahahaha. And here's Buddy caught in the middle of pulling my favorite "Face of Rock," the "Can You Belive How Fast I'm Playing This Guitar?"

Here's Buddy pulling the infamous "Lick the Air!"

Orange scarf? Hey, when you're doing karaoke three times a week after awhile you find you need "props" to "spice things up."

Ooooooh! Betsy's showing 'er bum!

After that, Amy headed home and I went over to Piano's to sing a quick diddy at Sid and Buddy's Karaoke. Here's Stephanie and Buddy tearing it up.

And I saved the best for last...check out the ghetto pyrotechnics! That's right, they took sparklers and scotch-taped them to the ceiling for the big "Wanted Dead or Alive" Bon Jovi hair-metal finale!
karaoke + matt l
And for the big finale of the night, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody!"
karaoke + matt l
What, you don't believe me? See those two smoking hot, blonde hula girls? Yeah, that's right! They got so hot and bothered by my karaoke jam that right after i was done singing they took me in the bathroom and I totally got down with both of them! So who's gay now, huh? Huh?

Look! Sometimes there's even the occasional celebrity. That's Peter Reigert (he played "Boon" in Animal House, remember), up on stage to sing "Shout." (He was there because it was the wrap-party for a movie he'd just finished directing. Beverly D'Angelo [aka - Ellen Griswold *swoon*] was in the movie too and I was hoping that I'd get to dedicate a karaoke jam just for her, but she was a no-show. Bah.)

Herman in action (most likely kicking his signature rendition of Britney Spears' "Hit Me, Baby [One More Time]") with Sid and Buddy on backup.

But oh! This is and easy one! As Axl and Slash...
