Life is a Karaoke Bar
I was walking through uni with one of my friends recently, when I started singing. I’m not sure what I was singing, and I can guarantee it wasn’t in tune, but it was one of those “It’s a lovely day for singing” sort of days. So what was I to do?
Then, the next thing I know, my toneless serenade was rudely interrupted by my friend saying “Will, life is not a karaoke bar”.
“But why not?” I asked.
“It just isn’t Will, it just isn’t!” Came the reply.
“Well,” I said, “I bet I can find five reasons why life is a karaoke bar.”
And so here they are:
- Of all the onlookers, at any one time, very few will actually approve of the way you’ve decided to ‘interpret’ the artists intentions.
- Sometimes doing fun stuff comes at the expense of your dignity. A small price to pay.
- It’s not really all that important that you stick to the original score, as long as you make it look good.
- Giving drunk people a microphone is a bad idea. Usually.
- Even when things are bad, and you feel like everything sucks. There is always a worse singer than you who is willing to grab the mic and give it a go.
Will: 1
Interrupting Friend: 0

Nah man, karaoke is for people who aren’t afraid to laugh in the face of adversity and good taste, fly against the winds of acceptability and break away from the heard of the commonplace. Karaoke is cool man, and don’t you forget it.
