    Grin PG: "Crawling in my skin"

    Dude

    Tonight I spent a couple of hours at a karaoke club (the one with private rooms). The second one and second time I've ever been in. I tried to sing 'Creep' by Stone Temple Pilots and did pretty lousy. Then my brother's gf decided to pick some hilariously terribad songs (if you disagree....ehhh) like Linkin Park's (edit -_-) 'Crawling' (like the title implies). I had a lot of fun singing it when I wasn't laughing like a hyena at the lyrics.... xD

    Anyway, I am reminded that I really need to practice singing. I can sing semi-well, I think, and just need practice to have better vocal range and etc.

    I know a lot of EoFFers sing well, but do you also go to karaoke bars?

    Not karaoke per se, since I think that karaoke is Japan's revenge for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, but back in the day when Tate played live music at the bar I go to in Riverview, every night I went there I'd get up on stage and sing a couple of Alice in Chains tunes and not get boo'd off the stage. Not that I really have the skill to pull off real singing (unless it's folk, like Barret's Privateers, Blackthorne's Jig, or Sonny's Dream), but everyone there except Tate was drinking, and Tate was just happy to get a chance to rest his voice.

    There's a lot of fun to be had at events like that where you can cut loose and do skullskullskullskull you'd never do sober and in front of sober people, and people will even think it's great. I still remember asking to dedicate Highway to Hell and the band agreed without asking who I was dedicating it to; I dedicated the song to Jesus Christ and that alone had the entire room roaring in laughter. Yeah, the joke's not all that funny, but the combination of the delivery, the audience, and the alcohol allowed fun to be had by all.

    I have never sang karaoke and I never will
    Edit: The song is called 'Crawling' not 'In My Skin'

    I cannot sing, and by extension cannot kareoke except for in a ridiculously large group.

    Oh, good God, I wish there was a video of that PG! :laugh:

    I can sing some songs really well. But overall I can't sing. But karaoke isn't made for singers. If anything, it's specifically designed for non-singers.

    I'm not falling for that one, Harvest.

    I used to do karaoke a hell of a lot, though I don't really go to the bar in question any more. Too many bad experiences, plus I'm too cool for that place now.

    Perhaps I'd better find a new watering hole...

    I hate my voice, and you'd have to get me pretty drunk to actually want to sing karaoke.

    I don't drink either. xD

    I'm sure there are enough members here who could testify that my voice is a crime against humanity, but doing Kareoke is still very amusing and a lot of fun. If i'm drunk then just forget about it. Well, actually it's usually me that forgets about it, and thank smurf for that 'cause the memories would probably make me kill myself. But yeah it's awesome

    I love karaoke! It's one of the things I look forward to every weekend. I don't have a singing voice at all but it's all good fun since my friends are not recording artists themselves anyway.

    We're all in it for the extra dance-alongs.

    Happy Birthday to Me

    I will sing, dance and often get naked whilst completely sober.
