Begin the Beguine

I. Love. Karaoke. On a good night I even sound halfway decent. Tops on my playlist: One Week (Barenaked Ladies--best to sing that one early in the evening), Werewolves of London (Warren Zevon), Jackie Wilson Said (Van Morrison), Mary Jane's Last Dance (Tom Petty/Heartbreakers), Take Me to the River (Talking Heads), Wicked Game (Chris Isaak), I've Got You Under My Skin (Frank Sinatra), I Wanna Be Around (Tony Bennett), Solitary Man (Neil Diamond), Something's Always Wrong (Toad the Wet Sprocket--rare but I find it occasionally), Dead Flowers (Stones), I'll Be Back (Beatles), Cruel to be Kind (Nick Lowe), & Lust for Life (Iggy Pop).

Let's see.... what did I sing this past week at karaoke?

• I Will Follow You Into The Dark:
  Death Cab For Cutie
• I'll Be You: The Replacements
• Snowblind: Styx
• The Bluest Eyes In Texas: Restless Heart
• Honkytonk Woman: The Rolling Stones
• Baby Blue: George Strait
• Talk To Ya Later: The Tubes

It was a slow week. I got to sing a lot.
