Karaoke with the right friends
I went on a Karaoke outing one night with some of my younger fooser friends and it was quite a mistake. Besides the fact it was on a weekday, singing in karaoke with the wrong crowd was really really arkward!
It was ok at the beginning when I sat in. They were singing songs from Jay Chou and quite a number of other chinese songs. I like those songs but I didn’t really sing along as I don’t speak mandarin or rather sing mandarin that well.
So while the girls are singing, I took the opportunity to fiddle around with the remote and keyed in quite a number of my favourite karaoke hits. After a couple more songs, my selection finally came up. It was Careless Whisper by George Michael (Wham!) and none of them in the room know of the song except me! It was really arkward singing the song alone and none of them seems to know any part of the lyrics. This went on for the next couple of songs and after that I just left the remote alone.
After running out of chinese songs to sing, the girls decided to sing some English songs. Finally, some songs that I can sing along to. To my f*#king surprised, they sang TATU - All The Thing She Says! Who the f*#k sings to TATU? Is it even a song at the first place and how can you sing to it? They girls were like so excited and sad to say, they can’t really sing to it but ended up reading the lyrics instead. So that’s it, I told myself no more karaokes with the younger crowds. I’m sticking to peers of my age.
For you noobs who don’t know the song Careless Whispers, take a listen to this song. Click on the damn freaking play button below :
CARELESS WHISPERS
GEORGE MICHAEL (WHAM)Time can never mend the careless whispers, of a good friend
To the heart and mind, ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll findShould’ve known better
I feel so unsure
As I take your hand and lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies, something in your eyes
Calls to mind the silver screen
And all its sad good-byesI’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a foolShould’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youTime can never mend
The careless whispers of a good friend
To the heart and mind
Ignorance is kind
There’s no comfort in the truth
Pain is all you’ll findI’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a foolShould’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste this chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with youNever without your love
Tonight the music seems so loud
I wish that we could lose this crowd
Maybe it’s better this way
We’d hurt each other with the things we’d want to sayWe could have been so good together
We could have lived this dance forever
But no one’s gonna dance with me
Please stayAnd I’m never gonna dance again
Guilty feet have got no rhythm
Though it’s easy to pretend
I know your not a foolShould’ve known better than to cheat a friend
And waste the chance that I’ve been given
So I’m never gonna dance again
The way I danced with you(Now that you’re gone) Now that you’re gone
(Now that you’re gone) What I did’s so wrong
That you had to leave me alone
