At the pub (friend's birthday) and a lad just did the William Shatner version of Common People. With Shatner's accent and everything.

 

I feel this information necessitated sharing...

Our Music teacher let our class have a karaoke session in the final lesson of the school year.

I sang Disco 2000. It was 1997. I was 11.

Did some Jarv-style moves and everything.

Everyone loved it.

Everything since that has been an anti-climax.

There's a Pulp night of karaoke happening later this month in Soho.

 Fuck, I'd love that if I could remotely justify the trip + wasn't doing other stuff up north.

Off tonight with some chums - trying to think of a fun one to do that isn't Common People or Disco 2000.

(Also fancy trying to do Life in Wartime with my best David Byrne moves...)

Will think about this, but it all comes down to when I'm rota'd on at work, and the day after.

I'm sorely tempted !!

Just did my Talking Heads - got Lipgloss queued, and I'm with @maclureo who is dripped out in Cockerish finery (proper velvety suit off of ebay) and has just done Depeche Mode in a way none of us will ever truly forget. He's doing ABBA later. Exciting times indeed.

 Yeesh. How many times in a row can you listen  to common people singing Common People?

 

Assuming they have the Sunfly karaoke disk that's only like 11 songs, and ain't nobody gunna do All Time High or Help the Aged.

I'm not sure they'll have to rely on Sunfly...I went to the Distillers Arms in Hammersmith after the gig on Friday night and they were having a karaoke night*. The DJ/guy organising it, was just calling up all the songs from Youtube. There was nothing obscure, granted but I've just done a quick check for Pulp and Razz/Underwear/Hardcore/I Spy/Weeds etc. are all listed on the first page. I won't be around for this but would quite fancy a go at Party Hard. The disembodied vocoder vox on the original is ripe for a proper human make-over...

 

*(I needed a bit of encouragement to get up, but I sang 'Tainted Love' with my girlfriend. Was good fun. Also felt we needed to right the wrongs of someone murdering 'Glory Days' (The Boss, not Pulp) as well as someone else just having the distaste to do Nickelback...........)

So, one part of being a student is you become a regular at places ! If you're ever around Edinburgh, the Banshee Labyrinth is a pub that does karaoke twice a week. The folk who run it are really into karaoke and they have lots of YouTube channels linked into the system, so there's a massive range of songs - and they like Pulp a lot. I did Cocaine Socialism once, for example. There's a YouTube page called Pants Karaoke that has a big arsenal of Pulp tracks too!

The Sunfly versions can leave a lot to be desired. The Hardcore one is appalling. But there's such a huge bank of Pulp tracks available that hopefully in Soho they shouldn't need it! Things do go better with a little bit of razzahmahtazz...

 Ha!

During Fringe, karaoke is from half 1 till 5 on Saturday nights. THE perfect conditions - a subterranean pub at half 4...

You're on.
