I did "it's oh so quiet" last year and, to my surprise & delight, the crowd ACTUALLY WENT QUIET when I shushed them in the 2nd line. Now I'm laughing/explaining "no, go back to your conversations the shushing is part of it!" but can't lie...the power was exhilarating

Bowie is deceptively difficult to approximate vocally. I recall Suffragette City during a Rock Band night being a particularly tricky challenge.

Fagen and Bowie are traps for the unwary at karaoke, IMO. They both have pretty limited octave ranges, so you _think_ it must be simple to imitate them, but lolllll it is not.

Damn i love karaoke so much. Srsly folks, if existential dread/ennui is getting you down, I highly recommend: 1) go SOLO to a local karaoke bar (no private rooms!!) 2) submit at least one song 3) STAY until you've sung at least one song a low-stakes thrill that usually exceeds expectations
