Make It Hurt So Good
Posted 14 April, 2008 in Music |
Jay over at Kill the Goat (who was apparently separated at birth from yr. humble correspondent) on why she detests karaoke:
Despite the world being filled with good music, karaoke mostly features: cheese by Celine Dion, stinky cheese by Mariah Carey, and inevitably, some baby boomers reliving their misspent youth with Grease tributes out the wahzoo. Yeah, I said wahzoo. And just for the record: Gloria Gaynor should only be sung by drag queens with big curly hair, sinfully short skirts, and gold go-go boots. Seriously.
You go girl.

There isn’t enough brain bleach in the world to remove my memory of a summer night at the Gladstone. Three Mexican pilgrims, all wearing their World Youth Day knapsacks, sang a soul-destroying version of “Lady Marmalade”.
The horror…the horror…

And it’s bad, bad Leroy Brown
The baddest man in the whole damned town
Badder than old King Kong
And meaner than a junkyard dog

My girlfriend and I went with some friends to the Gladstone on New Year’s Eve, thinking that we were going to be in the Ballroom Café side instead of that ridiculous karaoke bar of theirs. I think we lasted a half hour until be the pain became too great and we went somewhere else.
