The cafe across the street has something new—Karaoke !

Occasionally, when there are professional musicians performing, that’s nice to hear. But hearing someone (a man) who sounds "three sheets to the wind" screeching "Material Girl", not so much.

That sounds awful 😭

Omg! I feel your pain here! My apartment senior year of university was a third floor unit across the street from a karaoke bar. 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ And you know I'm an early to bed early to rise kinda person. It was awful.
I’d just be praying that no one gets their hands on the lyrics to “You light up my life.”
@OlderSometimesWiser Yes, I’m very tempted. With previous entertainment they wrap things up around 11:30 pm. It’s 11:13 now, so hopefully…
@bijouxbroussard I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you. Seems like in a city like SF, there’d be laws regulating that type of thing for entertainment venues.
@OlderSometimesWiser All went silent at 11:30pm, so I guess I can live with this. It’ll probably be on tonight, too. (Friday & Saturday nights)

You’re lucky! I get drunk people blaring Lynyrd Skynard and shooting beer cans 🤣
Pinkstarburst · 51-55, F
@bijouxbroussard We are outside city limits. It’s a free for all unless someone is shooting people.
@Pinkstarburst Oh, sorry.

@bijouxbroussard Meh. You get used to it. I’ve been known to go over and unleash on them. It doesn’t happen as much anymore. 😁

Never actually been to a karaoke bar -- and have no desire to.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@bijouxbroussard And I can't get used to the concept that these days high school kids prefer to have a DJ playing with CDs. "Back in the day" that would have been tacky, we always had live bands at school dances.
@ChipmunkErnie Yep, that’s my memory as well. Very briefly, I played keyboards with a local "metal" band. Our lead’s vocals on "Stairway To Heaven" weren’t bad at all. 😄

@bijouxbroussard We did lots of Zeppelin, Cream, ZZ Top, etc.

@bijouxbroussard Cuz I am a material girllllll✌️ Who expects in tune singing at a Karaoke bar??

Yer actually posting from there???🤔 I have a high tolerance for tomfoolery
@bookerdana No, I live across the street (I was here first). I’m home in my pajamas, trying to watch tv.

@bijouxbroussard Oh so its like second hand smoke 🚬

A friend of mine had to complain to the local council to have a local pub's music licence revoked because of karaoke. Nothing worse, musically lol

That would be my girlfriend, lol. She sung "Party In The USA" for karaoke and she was screeching it out.

I bet they would love to hear me do my Elvis impersonation! I'm a hunka-hunka burnin' love!
Degbeme · 70-79, M
There isn`t enough alcohol in the world to get me to do that.
@Degbeme Apparently many city-dwellers here are considerably less inhibited. Alas.

Would you have preferred “Borderline”? 🤣
@sciguy18 By this singer ? Perhaps not. 😅
DrWatson · 70-79, M
You have got to use that pic to respond to some of the posts here!
samueltyler2 · 80-89, M
Do they have an open mike?
@samueltyler2 That sounds like the way they’re doing it. By the end of the evening I heard several people singing together. Then applause and cheers, and it was over—probably until tonight. 🙄

I'd prefer the bad singing more 😆
JimFarris16 · 18-21, M
@bijouxbroussard Although, my girlfriend actually does believe she sounds good, so kinda awkward. She got me on stage to sing "Summer Nights" with her.
@JimFarris16 Good for you ! My dancing days are past, alas. Well, except among friends and we all laugh at each other…
JimFarris16 · 18-21, M
@bijouxbroussard My friend and I dance battled and he won. 😂
