The hotel had a reasonable crowd and there were a few singers in. I managed to catch the bus up again (oh, how coincidental that it was just coming around the corner...again!) so there was plenty of drink to be had. No unplanned trips tonight though :)
Songwise and I've got to give a thumbs up to Scott who had a crack at Linkin Parks' - What I've Done. I've got plenty of time for LP and Scott certainly did this one justice. Would love to sing their songs myself but I can't get anywhere near Chesters vocal range without my throat seizing up! I did take a shot at a Killers track that I've wanted to do for now and enjoyed singing that track (see below). There's a few movers in the charts this week too with Elvis moving into a clear second in the artists chart (Fratellis still holding firm ;)) and the girls now hold two songs for joint first in the most sung with Britneys - I Love Rock & Roll and the Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams. Must be time for a whistle in the old choir next week!

Will Smith - Switch - I've done quite a few Will Smith songs but have missed this out until now after Russ mentioned it on Tuesday. It's not bad but needs a real party atmosphere and big crowd to work IMO and so in all honesty it sounded a little flat tonight. One that I'm unlikely to do again unfortunately. do-again-rating: 0/10
Ok Go - Here It Goes Again - Came across this song on YouTube as it is one of the most viewed videos on there. A good track but an even better video which just goes to show you don't need an expensive budget. And to make sure you have no excuse for not watching it, here it is:
It was a fun song to do and although I'm not sure that many people know it, it's one that I can see myself having another dig at. do-again-rating: 8/10
The Killers - Read My Mind - I've been wanting to do this for a while now and despite putting it in twice before and not getting to do it, I finally got my chance tonight. For me this is the Killers best song, with Somebody Told Me just behind, and I thoroughly enjoyed singing it. I think I did ok but it was one of the last songs and I was a little tipsy by then. Will have to put it in again but earlier in the order to give me a better guage ;). do-again-rating: 9/10
And so ends another week of drunken singing so until next week.... Näkemiin
