There used to be a greying tower alone on the sea.
You became the light on the dark side of me.
Love remained a drug that's the high and not the pill.

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and,
The light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh,
The more I get of you,
Stranger it feels, yeah.
And now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you,
So much he can say.
You remain,
My power, my pleasure, my pain, baby
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny... yeah.
Won't you tell me is that healthy, baby?

But did you know,
That when it snows,
My eyes become large and the light that you shine can be seen.

Baby,
I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the grey.
Ooh, the more I get of you
Stranger it feels, yeah
Now that your rose is in bloom.
A light hits the gloom on the grey,

I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
... I've been... I've...
I've been kissed by a rose
... been kissed by a rose on the grey.
I've been kissed by a rose on the grey,
... I've been... I've...
... And if I should fall, at all
I've been kissed by a rose
... been kissed by a rose on the grey.

There is so much a man can tell you,

You remain
My power, my pleasure, my pain.
To me you're like a growing addiction that I can't deny, yeah (L)

Ooh, the more I get of you

    If any of you are ever in Columbia SC, travel back in time to a Wednesday night any time between 2006 and 2012 and check out Mr. B's Goodtime Karaoke Explosion

    It's the best karaoke night I've ever been to or even seen depictions of via film or TV

    Definitely! Unfortunately that's over now, and Linda's Karaoke has taken over. She's still good, but man... Art bar is fun.

    What sucks is that I actually have Karaoke CDs/music that I have from Japan, plus what I've collected here in the U.S. and I can't use them anymore...

    At a place I used to sing at I used to bring some .3dg files from Jonathan Coulton, and had some Japanese physical CD-Gs I'd bring with in a binder.

    I was known as "The Japanese guy" for a while, even though I am as about as Caucasian you can get.

    Dropped by a few months ago and they had a new Karaoke set up. I came with my CD-Gs as flash drive and they told me if it wasn't in the book, I wasn't singing it. I told them that the Japanese music wasn't ASCAP and I had permission from the other karaoke tracks from the singer themselves. Turns out that ASCAP audits the karaoke machines now, an they couldn't take the risk of playing non-authorized music.

    So Yea, don't karaoke much anymore.

    The best fucking thing about noraebang is the videos that go with the songs

    Let us all sing Anarchy in the UK while a girl cries in the rain after her boyfriend (??) is killed by spies (??) and then she has a flashback to when they were middle schoolers together

    And now, shitty CGI dance girls to the tune of Every Rose Has Its Thorn

    Why not? Why not INDEED.

    I can attest to Karaoke From Hell in Portland being a rollicking good time.

    Last time I was there I sang Folsom Prison Blues and did a Mick Jagger-ish striptease to my rendition of Sympathy for the Devil. They don't have La Bamba, though >:(

    I'm the karaoke jockey at a local bar, and if people want me to add music to our database that they bring, I do so as long as they get it to me before we start that night.

    Then again, we just use a laptop with karaoke software, so there's no machine for anyone to audit.

    the music I listen to is... not very kareokeable (e.g. no one wants to hear someone do a faux Tom Waits)

    so the one time I did it, I had to fall back on Backstreet Boys

    the place in Columbia had "The Piano Has Been Drinking"
    Never saw anybody try it though

  • ArangArang HUEY LEWISRegistered User regular
    the piano has been drinking is perfect for a karaoke place because you need to be incredibly drunk (or at least sound it) to do it right

    of course, by that point you'll probably be going for the tom waits voice, which I've never heard anyone pull off

    i loves me some karaoke. if they have Show Must Go On by Queen you best believe shit is gettin' operatic up in there.

    sam cooke also is very fun to sing, and that Harry Belafonte song Jump in the Line

    I heard about a karaoke place somewhere where instead of patrons singing songs, they read dialog for a particular movie (that's shown on the screen).

    Did I hear about that here?

    I heard about a karaoke place where the Host will tell you your future, but only if you sing.
