Karaoke Top 5

Okay I'll admit it. I like karaoke. A lot. Especially when I'm drunk. I first tried singing karaoke in Austin at a little Korean place off Airport with Mike and Henry. Embarassingly, there were both Malibu and Mettalica involved. After that I really didn't want to touch it, especially after being bombarded with it in Asia. It seemed to me that that was all anyone ever did in Taiwan. That and shopping. So I avoided it until one night in Tokyo. We went to an all-night place in Ikebukuro and tore it up till about 4am. It was raining and they gave us souvenir umbrellas cause we spent so much money there. After that I was hooked. I found myself practicing in the shower, trying to think up cool songs to sing in front of my friends and be stupid. And it's even worse now that I have a car. My car has always been by little sanctuary away from everyone. I always sang in my car. But now, it is my practice room for karaoke (even though no one may ever be able to tell I practice.) So here they are, my top 5 lists for karaoke:

Top 5 Most Embarassing Songs I have Sung for Karaoke:
5. "Mamma Mia" by ABBA ~ sung with dance moves with coworkers.
4. "You're the One that I Want" from the Grease Soundtrack ~ it is impossible to sing this well after 3 mini-bottles of sake, and by yourself.
3. "Okie from Muskogee" by Merle Haggard ~ country music is lost on the Japanese.
2. "Video Killed the Radio Star" by the Buggles ~ sung in a fake robotic voice.
1. "Sister Christian" by Night Ranger ~ sung in a duet with Chris Deaner.

Top 5 Songs I Dream of Singing for Karaoke:
