Karaoke - 1st Mar 2007

Evil, evil alcohol....

Or at least that's what my head was saying Friday morning as I definately drank a little bit more than I should once more. I actually think that it's not the amount that I'm drinking becuase I've definately drank more, but the mixing that is causing the bad hangovers. Once more it was a lager, sambucca (not sangria!) and jack daniels mixture that was the source of my friday woes.

It was worth it though (usually is), and I enjoyed the night. Highlight was some lad coming over to me and saying "you're effin brill you are, I didn't know your name was Shaun, mines Shaun too" ... errr, ok, let's leave it at that then :)

Singing wise, one new one tonight: Bad Moon Rising by Creedance Clearwater Revival (see below) and plenty of crowd type songs. Henrietta went down well as did Same Jeans. I did Grace Kelly again at the request of Tina but I'd had a few drinks by then so wasn't my best attempy. Scott did a couple of new ones which were cool, Me Plus One by Kasabian (I'm sure you could do it at the higher pitch ;) ) and Open Your Eyes by Snow Patrol. Strangest moment of the night was a girl who having previously sung Eminem - Mockingbird sang Benny Hills Ernie!! And I thought my range of songs was odd at times!

** NEW SONG **

Creedance Clearwater Revival - Bad Moon Rising: Picked this one up when looking for some new songs to help practice my guitar playing with (which is going well by the way, I'll blog about it soon!). Fairly simple song, really enjoyable to do and I think I did it justice. One for the 'will do again' book.

th-th-th-that's all folks...
