Karaoke tip: It’s all about the chorus. Seriously, no one knows the rest of the song. So when selecting tracks to master for your karaoking, pick something like “Livin’ on a Prayer,” which is a crowd-pleaser because it’s approximately 95% chorus.

Last night we went to one of those karaoke places where you get a private room. It was good times. I drank about 900 little cups of Hite (new slogan: “Makes you karaoke extreme!”). I don’t know what happened next.

Songs that played at times when a microphone was in my hand: “Sloop John B,” “Say It Ain’t So,” “Under Pressure” (I sing the David part, Isabelle sings the Freddie part), “Uptown Girl” (I’m not sure about this one, actually), “California Dreamin’” (I’m was the Mama to Robert’s Papa).

I’d tell you the name of the place if I remembered (now that I think about it I’m not sure I ever knew). Would I go back? Yes! Will I try to drink only 700 little cups of Hite next time? Yes — but no promises.
