Karaoke

Looking for places to sing in Hoboken or Manhattan... anyone know of any fun places? I prefer rather quiet spots so that I can sing more than once or twice...lol

Any other Karaoke junkies out there who want to check out the scene with me?

Laura,

I would be interested in going with you to Karaoke...I took my social group there about eight months ago to Boo Boo's on Monday night and it was quiet and seemed like you can get multiple opportunities. There are a couple places in town that have karaoke during the week...

To paraphrase an old Men Without Hats number:
"You can sing if you want to, you can leave your friends behind cuz your friends don't sing and if they don't sing then they're no friends of mine..."

Hmmmm....I could do my strip-tease version of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy!" Or should I attempt Minnie Riperton's "Loving You?"

Whoah (must be said like Keanu Reeves for full effect)!!! A strip-tease version of "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy", huh? Be careful there, Josh. I think you're taking this man-whoring thing a bit too seriously. :-) And remember, while Rod Stewart's disco period (that song and "Hot Legs" immediately come to mind) sold him a lot of records in the late '70's, it destroyed his credibility for years afterward.

And as for which songs I'd do, I've never done regular karaoke before (just the punk/metal karaoke at Arlene Grocery, in which participants sing on stage accompanied by a kick-ass live band), so I don't know what songs they would have (though I have some idea, of course), but they probably wouldn't have these: "Turned Up Too Late" by Graham Parker, "Cry Cry Cry" by Johnny Cash, "Not For Me" by Marshall Crenshaw. Wait, I'm sure that I could do a rousing version of "You're No Good", the old Betty Everett song that was later re-done in a much more well-known version by Linda Ronstadt.

Matt

Yeah, did it? I wanna go? If someone else is a definitely in then I'll set a time and place! I love karaoke -- where talent is optional but enthusiasm reigns!

Anyway, if anyone wants to go, post here or email me at JerZgrll@aol.com.
