Sung myself hoarse today at the karaoke (pronounced Care-Ree-oh-key) session with some folks at work today. What's the thing with karaoke and white people.

Place a mic in a white person's hands and he/she suddenly turns into a robbie williams/ mariah carey wannabe, gyrating their hips and contorting their faces (for greater effect i suppose). They aren't singing mind you... oh no no no... proper singing at a karaoke session with white people is a cardinal singing. Shouting and going off-key is the RIGHT way. *HEAR HEAR* Afterall, where's the fun in one (or two) person(s) singing whilst the rest solemnly sit around and "appreciate" (honestly, no one really listens when karaoke gets competitive... people just get restless and impatient waiting for their songs to start).

The beauty of having rowdy karaoke sessions is at the end of the night, everyone leaves feeling slightly closer to their fellow croonies or crooners (Depending on how wild the night went). Thanks to good training from me dad, I was able to keep up with the oldies in the group. Folks that sang oldies like delilah, layla, New York New York et cetera...

Fun songs to keep in mind for future karaoke sessions are:
1. Uptown girl (definitely a great group singalong)
2. Can't take my eyes of you (My personal fave)
3. This love (Maroon 5)
4. oh bla di oh bla da (Beatles)
5. you've lost that loving feeling (righteous brothers)
6. Summer days (??)
