I didn't know too many songs that were in their repertoire, so I ended up going with a few old classics. Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive and the CCR version of Proud Mary if I recall correctly. Hahaha.
...private karaoke booths that people were sitting in alone just singing karaoke BY THEMSELVES!?! Part of me thought this was really sad, and part of me realized I was probably only sad because I knew if I lived here I would totally do this by myself.
Afterwards, we walked around the mall and spotted a weird store called Music Place that had all these octagonal glass booths. As we got closer we realized they were...
...Vadim had forgotten to shake his wiener after peeing (er, either that or he was really excited to be singing karaoke) and had a huge pee spot on his underwear! Hahaha.
Halfway through his song, Vadim realized that everyone that was taking pictures was aiming their camera below his waist and realized what had happened and decided to try to combat the situation by...
I didn't think there was any way that Vadim's performance could make me laugh harder than Kevin's, but I was oh-so-wrong! However, in all fairness to Kevin, it should be pointed out that Vadim was accidentally funnier. That's because about thirty seconds into Vadim's song, I was snapping pics and I noticed that...
...here are some pics of my favorite male performers! This guy fucking ruled so hard. Not only was he an amazing singer, he had color coordination, crazy dances moves...
You gotta hand it to them, though. It's a winning formula. The only thing more fun than cute girls at karaoke is scantily-clad cute girls at karaoke. And just so the ladies that read this site don't feel left out...
You may remember Kevin from the Marryoke Wedding Spectacular as the guy who rocked my world with his incredible version of Prince's song Pussy Control.
Kevin's performance was on-point as always, but considering he got half naked at his friends' wedding, I couldn't help but feel like his "Bootyoke" outfit was a little bit of a let down. Well, that's when Kevin turned around, bent over and revealed that...
Ellen's really fun to sing karaoke with because she always ends up picking out songs by guys that let her scream in a low voice. (Sort of the opposite of how I always pick girly songs so that I can sing really high!). Here she is doing Self Esteem by The Offspring!
...Colin "The King of Karaoke" Schiller was hosting his weekly karaoke party down in the basement of Lit! We said farewell to everyone at The Annex and ten minutes later we were down in a smoky basement...
...and Sarah broke out some KARAOKE VIDEO GAME she'd recently gotten! Some eventually figured out to take this game, combine it with Guitar Hero and add a drum set and it became Rock Band.
Around 1:30 the crowd at Heathers was starting to thin out so we decided to take the birthday party across the street to Planet Rose for some karaoke! Dens kicked off the jams with a tender, tender version of...
Big ups to Gurj who took my camera and used it to take some of the funniest pictures I've ever seen of me singing karaoke (which is quite an accomplishment when you think about how many photos there are of me singing karaoke).
I wasn't even planning on singing, but Chris put on Laura Brannigan's Gloria (which everyone knows is my favorite karaoke song) and he called me up on stage to tackle it duet-style.
Halfway through the song, Chris left the stage and brought the rock out into the crowd. (Check out the look Jenny Penny is giving him over there on the left. I love the fact that the girl who decided to wear ROLLERSKATES INDOORS TO KARAOKE is like "I don't know about this guy. Seems like he's going a little overboard.")
Inspired by the madness of the Priestbird show, a bunch of us decided to make some music of our own (er, sort of) at karaoke later that night. Here's the Fatty kicking some SUPER OLD SKOOL Jovi with "Runaway."
On Wednesday night I went over to 2nd on 2nd from some karaoke. I walked in right in the middle of Ellen doing her signature performance of Metallica's Enter Sandman.
Herman used to be a regular back in the Sid & Buddy glory days when they had karaoke down in the basement of Nolita Tavern two or three times a week and shit would get totally OUT OF CONTROL.
Wow, just wow. I was going to make a joke about the types of tiny, simple machines that could be powered by harnessing their collective "star power," but I think I'll just stick with "wow" instead.
Besides Herman, there were even some "real" famous people there. You know you've made it in the karaoke world when Horatio Sanz, Jimmy Fallon, and Dennis Haskins (aka - "Mr. Belding" from Saved By The Bell) team up to sing as a trio at your birthday party!
...but from this photo of Matt pretending he's putting his foot up on a monitor, I'm going to venture a guess and say it was probably something by Iron Maiden. "Run to the hills....run for your..."
Just when Matt had recovered from Jenny and Karen's rendition of one of his band's songs, he was called up to sing! I don't remember what song it was...
