Mr. Sleepy was in again and yet again he fell asleep with his glass of coke (but woke up when it was his turn to sing). Unless I was absolutely rat-arsed, I can't figure how anyone can fall asleep in a pub with [loud] karaoke on or do we bore you that much. If you're that tired, stay at home you
Songwise I'd put three songs in although I only got sing one of them. The starter was Andys choice and Faint was Scotts although I didn't mind singing either. It leaves me with a couple of new ones for next week anyway so not too worry. Scott weighed in with the cracking Biffy Clyro - Folding Stars and I'm sure he'll be letting you all know how it could possibly have a been a karaoke 'world premiere' ;) Even it wasn't (you'll need to provide proof!), he nailed it first time and I definately hope he breaks his new songs only rule and gives it another go. As time was running short and it was becoming evident that we might not get a song each in at the end we joined forces (doesn't happen often) and attempted Linkin Parks - Faint, see the report below as to how it went.

** NEW SONGS **
| Mika - Big Girl | |
| It's something different from the more indie-ish songs I've been singing lately and fun to do. The song itself was very straight-forward to sing and certainly much easier than the last Mika song I did, Grace Kelly, although not quite as funky as that one. It still managed a respectable chart position of #9 though despite being the third single released from the album. A 50/50 whether or not it gets done again. do-again-rating: 5/10 | |
| Linkin Park - Faint | |
| I'm not sure how this one sounded as it was near the end of the night and the words might have been slurring despite knowing this inside out normally. Regardless, I f**king love this song and it's definately one of my favourite LP tracks. Thanks to Scott for agreeing to have a go at this with me even if he did have the much harder part!! If nothing else, it certainly went down well with the group of girls who were sat down at the top end. I think we may have to try this one again sometime ;) do-again-rating: 7/10 | |
Thus ends another week of karaoke. Lets see what fun next week brings us.....next week!
