Back in New York

Jun 17, 2008 05:36

I attended the event of "Karaoke Night" a few days ago, consumed over a gallon of beer, and alarmed bar patrons with an atonal rendition of Nine Inch Nails's "Closer." I basically just yelled "I want to FUCK YOU LIKE AN ANIMAL" a lot, in a sincere, lust-choked voice. I similarly tried to "sing" "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode but realized that ( Read more... )

I am sooooo new to LJ and this is the first post that I read. I felt the need to reply because of that reason alone, but also because I really enjoyed reading your post. I found it pretty realistic of the way Karaoke should be discribed. I love Karaoke and music in general myself and would like to think that I have a very good voice (although only self-proclaimed). I love singing songs at the top of my lungs and think that I know every word when the truth is I maybe know 30% of them. Anyhow, A-We-So-Me post.

It is very disconcerting to hear just how awful your voice is, which is often hidden by the radio/whatever or the shower. I am always taken aback when I hear just how tone deaf I really am. Of course, the blow is always softened by at least 4 stiff drinks. I really like singing karaoke, but quite a bit of alcohol is required before I'll even consider it. Then I make bad song choices & fall off the stage.

One time I had to sing in early elementary school and the teacher yelled at me because I was actually making the whole class be off key. I didn't really understand what the problem was, so I just sang louder.

I feel your pain. I used to be able to sing decently if I wanted to, but for reasons you can imagine, NOT ANYMORE. It's so painful to listen to, even if I just attempt to sing to myself in the car. Ouch.

Damn, is it like you can never sing anymore, or you just have to relearn it?

Speaking of Closer: you ever get the feeling that ol' Trent was bluffing?

You mean that he was never in a relationship where he truly felt that his partner brought him closer to God?

No I mean that he wasn't really capable of fucking anyone like an animal.

Were you referring to me in this entry?

You know that I think a full set of lips are, uh, not unflattering, in fact the opposite (look at my goddamn user icon)
