* THE OFFICIAL MR KARAOKE THREAD *

by **TRAGChick** » Wed Feb 18, 2009 5:55 am

Every time
Some people hear “After The Fall”
They feel they must try to sing that song.
They sound like Cats that are dying,
That’s when it’s time to lend a hand
To get the Mic
Away from them alllllll….

We can’t go on
Pretending day by day
That their voices will soon Miraculously change
But we are all a part of
Drew’s great big MR Family
And the truth, you know Silence is what we neeeeeeeed….

We are the Worst
We are the Tone-Deaf
We are the ones who make the others say,
“PLEASE DON’T START SINGING!”
It’s a choice we’re making;
We think we sound GREAT live…
We don’t care what you have to say,
So get up and leave.

That's great, Trag. Now, we just need to divide it up and decide who get's to sing what...and remember folks,..."Check Your Ego at the Door". :wink:

"We Are The Worst"

Seriously, I'm so bad I'm surprised Perry and others haven't slapped a "knock it off!" order on me for slaughtering their work during my car concerts.

Don't get me started.....I got lyrics formin' in my head....

Wow - talk about coincidence. We have a staff entertainment night coming up in March, this year our theme is 80's. I came up with the We Are the World idea last week and we're just the process of thinking up lyrics right now. I'm playing the part of SP (not because I can sing - NOT - but because I just happen to have a tailcoat and a long wig :oops:

. Great idea for the title though - we definitely are the worst!

Sorry. I win. I can top the outfit and I don't even need a wig, I have my own long brown hair. :lol:

Don't get me started on resurrecting old threads....I've brought back the NOW PLAYING thread numerous times from a sure slow death....funny thing though. Never got a nasty PM telling me to stop. Makes me wonder if I INADVERTENTLY raised a thread someone had thought was long buried. Not my fault if an old thread makes someone look like a fool....but I digress....Never got a nasty PM about the NOW PLAYING thread.

These were not done at a bar because recording like that would be too much trouble so it was a controlled studio session however there is NO TWEAKING and as a result a couple of them are really good and a couple are ok. None are bad or I wouldnt have posted them hehe..

Best to worst IMHO. Link at the bottom.

Whos Crying now.
After The Fall
I;ll Be alright without you
If he should break your heart (messed up the lyrics and was scratchy but added a high early perry note ala Wheel in the sky solo section at the very end because I felt like it)
Lights (voice and pitch wasnt 100%)
Feelin that way (voice wasnt 100%)

One Queensryche tune from Operation Mindcrime, I dont believe in love (think I nailed that one).

Im all in..

Hey how long have you been singing for, just interested to know because I like to sing a bit myself.

That's good mate, great tone, it's a good voice you have. Yeah I got a chest infection as well last year, for months, it was a pain. Currently I'm taking singing lessons, learning new stuff all the time here. But yeah man, throw some more stuff up. Eventually I will upload something here myself, and I will dedicate it to Rockindeano

I think this thread should be renamed "The Official MR Deano is a Wuss Thread" until he gets off his butt and pays up on his debt. :lol:

Is this thread exclusively video or is just audio okay...?

Watching eachother make a fool out of ourselves is (more than) half the fun, dude. VIDEO only.

What will we call it? The Melodic Rock Karaoke Challenge? And yeah, video only cause pictures are worth a thousand words.....er I mean laughs.

Thanks for the offer Nora! - I did some up at work this afternoon with more specific references to our town and company name (but I definitely used your song title and the dying cats reference, so thanks :lol:

) I'd post my lyrics but I left 'em at work - maybe tomorrow.

by **The Sushi Hunter** » Thu Feb 19, 2009 11:00 am

So what's the deal with this idea? Is anyone going to go through with it? I will....talked with the wife last night and she'll do the video taping for me. I don't think it will be any fun doing a song I'm good at, so I was thinking of doing a song I'm not good at/doesn't fit my voice, for the shear laugh factor. I was thinking of Dream On by Aerosmith cause that voice is like the furthest from what my capabilities are. :lol:

Alright. Personally, I really don't sing Journey songs. Anyway, this is a one take, my very time trying "Open Arms". You know, singing Journey is really really really tough, I'm finding, and the fact that I'm still learning to sing as well so, but I guess that's why I have a singing teacher as well!

Dedicated to the one and only...

Yeah Vlad! Great accent by the way, cute as your pic! :wink:

I like the blahth at the end.....made me crack up! Lets hear it for the boy! You rock dude! Your brave! Did not sound that bad..........very pretty!

Anyone else brave as sir Vlad?

by **Michigan Girl** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:47 pm

Very Good.....Love the accent, I'll listen to you just talk!!! :wink:

by **Rick** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 12:58 pm

Loved the dedication. :lol:

Great stuff Vladan.

by **Vladan** » Sat Feb 21, 2009 5:18 pm

Hahaha yay, thanks guys

Well I'd be happy to do more some more, but it wouldn't seem right without "other people giving it a go"

it can be pretty nerve wrecking since there are some very talented singers who actually read these forums, so.... I mean if I didn't feel comfortable then I wouldn't do it, so it's understandable

Vlad, your Aussie accent is a blast!!!!
Your voice needs to be tuned
but bravo for giving it a try/....

Where is Deano?
come on....remember me?
We sang in Paladino's parking lot
You're not bad...you can hold a tune
get off your high horse & set down a few tracks!

I gave Open Arms a shot a few years ago acapella (some pitch problems & mistakes but it was fun)
& a kind MR member put my voice to music & he did a pretty good job making me sound OK....Thanks
