Then Sid and Buddy got dressed up and joined the Karaoke Killed the Cat Crew on stage for what quickly turned into...

Wednesday night I paid a long overdue visit to Sid and Buddy's karaoke night at Remote Lounge (RIP).

After we finished making up stupid babynames, we headed into Soho to try to catch the Monday night edition of Sid and Buddy karaoke, only to arrive and find Sid and Buddy (aka - Matt & Matt) packing up all of their karaoke stuff and leaving Nolita Tavern in the middle of their set after having a fall out with the management there. We retreated to Dan and Corrie's nearby apartment to reflect on the tragic, sudden end of Sid and Buddy's year long reign at Nolita Tavern (on a side note, I'm writing this in July of 2004 and Nolita Tavern is completely gone. The bar wasn't doing well so Howard, the owner, ended up selling it to John Lombardi, and Lombardi's pizza expanded their restaurant into what used to be Nolita Tavern. So if you ever eat at the famous Lombardi's on Spring Street, and you hear the haunting strains of Laura Brannigan's "Gloria" echoing through the halls, now you'll know why...)

...and then treating the crowd to a bra-clad duet with a red-faced Buddy.

Hahahahah - then they teamed up to "rock out" with her butt.

...HOLY SHIT! What's up, three foot flame? Jeeeeez! Ok, and that's about it for September.

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!"

After everyone was good and liquored up, it was time to administer the birthday spankings!

Check him out stealthily pressing her hand against his luggage. Smooooth.

More Sid & Buddy karaoke. Sid (dressed as Siouxsie?) singing and Buddy on the inflatable axe.

Ooooooh! Betsy's showing 'er bum!
matt l + sid and buddy
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!
matt l + sid and buddy
And for the big finale of the night, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody!"
matt l + sid and buddy
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?
matt l + sid and buddy
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.)
