Everybody's got their life to live

Last night's theme was Songs I've Never Sung Before

1. It Don't Matter to Me -- Bread
2. Common People -- Pulp
3. With You I'm Born Again -- Billy Preston and Syreeta [duet with vfc]
4. A Little More Love -- Olivia Newton John
5. The Difficult Kind -- Sheryl Crow [duet with iamthesphinx]
6. Touch Me In the Morning -- Diana Ross
7. After All -- Cher and Peter Cetera [duet with vfc]

I also jumped on stage and helped a stranger sing Toto's Africa as well as crashing iamthesphinx's version of Kelly Clarkson's Walk Away.

The Diana Ross one was a little rough because it was in some weird key I couldn't follow and its not like its an easy song in general. I should have just ignored the backing track and sang the version in my head -- that's actually what I do with "Since U Been Gone". But singing that Olivia Newton John song was a dream come true. Ronnie the KJ was chatting with us occasionally and came up and said, hey, I have my personal collection here so if there's something you don't see, ask. And I immediately asked about ONJ. And he had it. And now I want to sing it every time I'm there.

Common People! That sounds like fun.

it was fun. and nicely in my vocal range. except there was a 30 second instrumental which i used to not mind in karaoke because i would use that time to light up and smoke on stage, but now there's no smoking! so i stand and tap my foot and play with the microphone stand.

No smoking? Word?

only by the bar -- not anywhere near the stage (because that is the "restaurant" portion of the place).
