Adam gets up there and sings a Lifehouse song, not the one you know, but one that people vaguely know, and everyone's like ok man, great work. He doesn't kill it, but it wasn't the worst, and he's walking offstage at the moment my husband's name is next in the queue (which they show on screen)
MT 😆
The one you & me & all of the people know
My sweet husband is waiting in the wings to sing his goofy Kenny Chesney song, but suddenly his name is replaced by ADAM, AGAIN Adam's next song? FUCKIN' STAIND yes, that one, the one Millennials know from such hits as "horking alone in your bedroom because you mixed Surge with daddy's vodka"
HOW?!?!
So Adam sings this downer-fucking song, sitting cross-legged with his back to the crowd and just absolutely channeling every sad feeling he's ever had into this poor microphone who asked for none of it
At this point I am LIVID, for a couple of reasons 1) DON'T SING A FUCKIN DOWNER ASS NU-METAL BALLAD AT RESORT FUCKIN KARAOKE, YOU FUCKIN NERD 2) MY HUSBAND WAS NEXT WITH A PERFECTLY APPROPRIATE GOOFBALL SONG, AND HE GOT BUMPED FOR THIS????
Well its been awhaaaale, since I played with my ding dong... 😆
Ah! Sophia! 🫢
Everyone in our little pro-abortion-resort club was similarly enraged, so we all try to figure out what the fuck is happening with the queue, at which point my new best friend (no idea what her name was, I love her) realizes that the queue is open to anyone who logs in and can REORDER IT AT WILL
this reminds me of back in the early 2010s when I was working at Sonos and local restaurants using our speakers for their sound systems frequently hadn't thought to put them on a separate network from the public wifi
My parents briefly had Sonos speakers around 2015 and my proudest accomplishment of this era was jump scaring the entire house by randomly putting on Aaron Copland’s Fanfare for the Common Man at full volume
but we never used that for any purpose more evil than the occasional Rickroll, or adding "Toxic" to the queue
Doing the Lord's work
ahahahaha no i love it
you can't do it nowadays even if the speakers are on the public wifi, because you have to be logged into the correct sonos account on the app, which is probably better design but is also much less fun
omg
Thank you for sharing your tale of karaoke krime! I add my outrage to the karmic kollection 😡😡😡
Oh my god
😦
So we log in and realize Adam has put a half dozen downer nu-metal songs in the queue, and mutually unite to spread the word of how the queue works, and work together to make sure that when a song ends, we bump a good song to the top
What you needed was one of those long vaudeville hooks from Looney Tunes to yank him off the stage
I entered into a brief fight with BETH, who tried to push herself ahead of our group TWICE with DISNEY SHOWTUNES need i remind you that we had ONLY AN HOUR for everyone to sing
at least Beth wasn't _also_ trying to sing Staind
Could be worse, could have been Hamilton
But the key was to scoot your preferred singer/song up at the very moment the last song ended, so you had to pay REAL CLOSE ATTENTION to bump people friends, it was BRUTAL COMPETITION
I am delighted to report that we got EVERYONE in the pro-abortion queue on stage within 40 minutes, no duds only bangers, because that is what COMMUNITY ORGANIZING looks like
drop the playlist my friend!!!
- Friends in Low Places (me, my favorite, a classic, always bangs) - Smooth - Pink Pony Club - No Shoes, No Shirt, No Problems
I wish I was there for this, I would've banged out Rumor Has It by Adele and then monitored the queue for my folks like a hawk lol
hell yeah
When everyone in our fuck-Trump/hooray-abortion group had sang their bangers, we defected and fuckin ADAM closed out the rest of the night to ABSOLUTELY NO ONE singing like five duds in a row, culminating in an absolute decimination of Jeff Buckley's 'Hallelujah' that cleared out everyone else
There's fucking custom to karaoke. It was put in place long ago. This thread got me angry at Bachelor Party Dick
OMG NO. This song shouldn't even be an option on a Party Karaoke song list! At the same time, I'm having a lil fun imagining The Worst Debbie Downer song queue. Starting with Everybody Hurts - REM And a Grand Finale...
He should have just owned it and been like, "anyways, here's Wonderwall"
That's a long long hour. Does time in Mexico go differently?
and look, I'll listen to a good karaoke version of 'Hallelujah' if the time is right, but THE TIME IS NEVER RIGHT FOR DOWNERS AT THE PARTY RESORT
Was this the Karafun system? Because at our bar karaoke last week a friend of mine realised he could change the tempo and pitch of my song!!! While I was singing it! (He didn't dare fuck with the queue.) The KJ locked it down when we pointed it out but oh my god!!!
YES!! It's WILD
He came up after my song was over and apologised and then DEMONSTRATED his occult power by very briefly pausing the song that another mutual friend of ours was doing at that very moment! I was like you should not be able to do this!!!
it's entirely unacceptable
This is why I curate the songs when I do karaoke. All fun songs. No fucking downers.
I was recently at a community karaoke in the park event where a teen dressed all in black with a thick accent got up and sang an incredibly flat rendition of Nothing Else Matters and boy, that was an uncomfortable 7 minutes.
oh nooooooo well, i hope it ... helped heal them
Omg that is TOO funny! Karaoke in Cancun you think Margaritaville and Elvis, not that crap! Lmao!
right?!?!
NOOOOO NOT MORE ADAM ANDREA WTF
