Apparently, karaoke is very poular in Huntsville, Alabama; we saw three places just on the stretch of highway by the hotel: Bruce G’s, Mr. C’s, and one whose
\nname I forgot, because it didn’t fit the pattern. Mr. C’s was where we were Saturday, and although it was ostensibly open only for the wedding folks, there were
\nquite a few ‘regulars’ there that evening.<\/p>\n
Kelli was *not* pleased when I pulled out my cigar…said I could smoke it only if I did a shot. I agreed, and Craig had them make me a Chocolate Cake:
\nFrangelica and Vodka with a sugared lemon slice. Amazingly enough, when you drink it and then immediately do the lemon, your mouth tastes like you’ve just eaten
\nchocolate cake.<\/p>\n
Of the regulars, some were actually very good, some were ok, and some didn’t realize that the microphone amplifies the human voice, rendering their shouting
\nunnecessary. The hairstyles tended mainly towards mullets for the men and big hair for the women…and when I say big hair, I mean 80’s Dallas big hair…truly
\nimpressive. There were lots of examples of another phenomena that I don’t think I want to mention on a webpage my parents read.<\/p>\n
Our group started off with Monty Python’s “Sit on My Face and Tell Me That You Love Me”. I then did “Chantilly Lace” and Craig did the auction song whose name I
\ncan’t remember, but he did it very well! We managed to live through some excrutiatingly bad AC\/DC songs, some very painful dancing by the assembled regulars,
\nthen finally got up again. Craig had a kick-butt “Desperado”, the place fell silent for my “Can’t Help Falling in Love With You”, and erupted in cheers to
\nKelli’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”.<\/p>\n
It was after midnight, and since I had to leave around 5am to get Ed to the airport, we called it a night.<\/p>\n
But I still need to add the chorus of Craig’s song to my Quotes page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
