Karaoke - 15th Feb 2007

Another week and another blast on the Dog and Duck karaoke machine though there's definately no stars in my eyes. :)

A fun night to be had with plenty of new songs, some of which were planned and some which were not. Hats off to Tina & Hayley for having a go at 2 new ones tonight: Sweet Dreams by the Eurythmics and Smile by Lily Allen, both of which were very good and they should sing again and also to Scott who really ventured this week and covered S.O.S. by Abba!!!

I also got to sing a song I've longed to do for some time but never dared as I thought I couldn't do it: The Circus by Erasure, and absolutely loved it. I so very nearly chickened out as well when I got to the stand but fortunately Tina, Hayley & Scott are a determined bunch and insisted I do it. Thanks peeps :)

** NEW SONGS **
Jack Ingram - Lips Of An Angel - This was a bit different for me as it's a little bit country but I must admit to liking it. It's a cover of a group called Hinder whose version is a lot more heavier but this almost acoustic version by Jack Ingram is easier to sing and it is a nice song. Will possibly do again when the wife is there as it is she who got me into it and she loves it!

Stereophonics - Dakota - I was browsing through some of my Now collection and came across this about 10 minutes before I left the house. I knew it well enough to give it a go and it went ok.

Erasure - The Circus - As explained above, this was completely unplanned but I loved it and will certainly give it another outing at some point. What I will say is thank god Andy didn't have Chiquitita by Abba in the book else that would have been the song going in!! :o

Roll on next week...
