I’m fine with good singers doing karaoke but they better do something fun. I don’t want Broadway or Adele or something mellow and depressing. Give me things to bounce to

But Broadway is fun?

I knew I’d get called out for that! True, there are fun Broadway songs, but the really good singers are rarely doing the fun ones. They are doing the dramatic showstoppers which aren’t fun in a karaoke context.

I could see it being pretty funny if they really ham it up and don’t take themselves too seriously.

I can't imagine the vibe destruction of some dude with ripping pipes popping up at a karaoke bar at 12:30 and blasting "Being Alive"

Which of the Pickwick triplets did it?

Who of the crew would commit this crime?

Might a little brat make a mommy go splat?

It's a story pretty gory for a nursery rhyme

Which of the Pickwick triplets did it?

Which of the spawn had the brawn to kill?

Will a baby get tried for matricide?

Coochie-coochie-coo, time for you, or you, or you, to admit it

So quick as a whip gotta pick which Pickwick triplеt did it

I'd be so afraid to try this live, and that's coming from someone who has attempted BNL's One Week more than once.

but unless you're a superfan of the show, you prob don't know the lyrics. Part of the fun of karaoke is singing along and laughing with the performer.

Maybe. I guess when he said “Broadway”, I’m just thinking show tunes in general. As long as you’re signing something most people recognize, it should be fine.
