Wow, my blog has been pathetic lately. Sorry, folks. I guess it's the combination of being on vacation (and being a bum) with not having any money, so not being able to do anything interesting to blog about. But last night was an exception. A bunch of us went to Bennigan's for karaoke. It was a lot of fun. I didn't sing anything, but I just went there to watch everyone else, which is the true beauty of karaoke. Highlights? There were several. I'm not sure which took the cake. Was it Booth's rendition of Rockin' in the Suburbs, in which he stuck his mike out for us to fill in the profanity? Or perhaps the two black guys, singin' their lungs out, and all of us laughing with a mixture of admiration, and utter hilarity? My personal favorite was sitting near Robbie and hearing him scream/sing (in tune!) every word to every song he knew, right along with each person doing the actual karaoke. That mixed with four or five slightly tipsy gals, getting up to groove to Tone Loc's Funky Comandina, makes for a good time had by all.

Posted by: JosiahQ at July 30, 2003 09:37 AMsure. whatever, i had no idea how to spell it.
Posted by: Uncle Josh at July 30, 2003 12:10 PMHow about "Funky Commendante"? That'd be a good song.
Posted by: mesh at July 30, 2003 01:52 PMHow about Funky derKommissarmedina?

Posted by: mesh at August 1, 2003 11:31 AMThat was soo much fun. I hate that I have totaly lost my groove and that I couldn't get up and dance. That is out of character for me but I did do some chair boogying. Mustang Sally was my higfhlight, with the guy getting on his knees for the high notes and spiting all over the mic. Yeah....that was awesome.

Karaoke was awesome though. We should definitely go more often.
And I'm pretty sure that song is called "Funky Ike-n-Tina."
