Karaoke was pretty weird tonight. Lots of drunk non-regulars were there and they almost all put songs in. At one point, the rotation was probably just more than two hours. "My Sharona" was not attempted, as our table decided to go with the theme of eighties songs. Yours truly attempted Alice Cooper's ballad "You and Me" before the theme was decided on, and then Adam Ant's "Goody Two Shoes," Psychedelic Furs' "Pretty in Pink," B-52's "Love Shack" and Murray Head's "One Night in Bangkok." Mmm . . . bed now!

And KUDOS! to you Joseph on that "Goody Two Shoes!" It rocked. You kicked on the key change and everything. I was very impressed!

Interestingly, "One Night in Bangkok" was *actually* written by Benny Andersson and Bjorn Ulvaeus (of ABBA) along with Tim Rice for the musical Chess. Great song. Wish I had been there!

I worked in a record store when that song was popular (before the advent of CDs), and I remember the bewilderment on customers' faces when they asked for that album and were handed a high-priced two-record set of a broadway soundtrack.

Ah, but imagine *my* bewilderment when I had to choose between the high-priced, two disc set of the broadway show with either a white cover (Original Broadway Cast) or a black cover (Londong Concept Cast)
