Title: Who sings Karaoke, what is your signature tune and where is the best Venue?
Post by: tonyco1 on March 05, 2010, 05:16:45 PM
Well I enjoy a go!

My signature tune is ''Dance the Night away'', by the Mavericks - or me actually!!

I like the fun songs - Not so into Rat-Pack or Elvis.

Ha-Ha - yes - I used to as well, but my Niece "stitched me up", in the T/Bay one evening so I had a go and found I was still not to bad.
I used to sing years ago!
But I avoid all the usual crooner rat-pack-Elvis stuff.

I must admit, it's not my first choice for an evening out!
I love live entertainment, and good musicians!

I don't, but my wife does.

She normally sings "Lipstick on my collar", "Hey big spender", "These boots are made for walkin'" and a couple more. As long as she's not too drunk she's pretty good.

Main place for her performances is The Round-Up Saloon in Carvoeiro, The Algarve. Usually gets up with the bar owner, the infamous Big Will, a giant of a dutchman (ex world strongman competitor). Plus the K team in Round Up are brill singers as well, so they usually step in early in the evening to get it going.

She tried K in Condor last summer, but the DJ keeps playing records in between instead of letting the K to get going. And it's not led by a Karaoke DJ so wasn't impressed with Condor for K. We'll have to try Thomas Bay this June.

I must admit i used to hate K nights but a couple of times/week on holiday is good fun.

I can indeed confirm that Cliff Richard was embalmed around 90 years ago, and now lives with his "Manager",
who slips the odd Viagra into his food and then watches poor old Cliff sweat as he fights the urge!
They live "Happily ever after - so far, in the British History Museum,
the song Summer Holiday was co-written by his boyhood friend William Shakespear.

I do my own party-piece at the Thomas where I have my own words to Barbados, goes down well as Don will testify.
I also go for the more fun tracks, too many soulful crooners howling Elvis and Sinatra, so I do stuff like Hey Baby etc.
Nothing like a bit of lively entertainment.
If my niece Heather goes, we do Summer Lovin' and she does Hey big Spender - with all the Actions!! LOL
