We salute you, Mr. Karaoke Superstar Wannabe (Mr. Karaoke Superstar Wannabe)
You can’t sing a note, but when you step up to the mic, you shout your little heart out and all the girls go wild (woah-oh-yeah!)
Your two-song repetoir leaves all the regulars wondering which one you’ll dazzle the crowd with tonight. Will it be “Common People” or “Song 2″? (Song 2, woo-hoo!)
Your genuine British accent and your fancy stage work (jumping up and down) leaves the whole pub cheering for more (one more song!)
So crack open an ice cold Bud Light, captain of Karaoke, because if only you weren’t British, you’re confident that you would be the next American Idol.
**This is dedicated to my memories of doing Karaoke at the Student Union pub in England. Every week, this guy named “Stu” (we called him “the little guy” because he was short) would get up and shout one of two songs, and we loved it! It was so hilarious! Whenever it was his turn, my friend Nicola would tap me and excitedly “ooh, it’s the little guy!!!” He had so much charisma even though he couldn’t sing at all. He would just get up there and shout “Want to live like common people” with the thickest accent you can imagine. It was great!
