Karaoke Night

[Uncleskinny]

So, I've been thinking about this for a while. There was a guy I met who wanted to put on a Smiths/Moz Karaoke night, but he's disappeared off the radar now, so I thought I might do it myself. I have all the officially released Zoom songs, plus quite a few others, and all it would need would be a projector, a screen and a sound system of some sort. Where would be a good place? Manchester? Leeds? London?

Dublin.

It should be held at the Star & Garter obviously! Maybe they'll let you hold it downstairs on a Smiths night?

That could be fun! I'd come (if I'm welcome) ...and maybe even sing, if I'm drunk enough!

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

I karaoke at least one Moz song a week here in SF, I'd do more if my work had more of his songs

Manchester. Anywhere they would let you have it on a Saturday night for a change The only one I've been to before was at the Smiths convention in Paris years ago. Great night

I have tried to Karaoke Moz' stuff before, but can't. He's too low. And when he does sing high enough for me to sing along, I have to shift between my middle register and my head voice in ways that are too weird to sound good.

I've never tried singing Moz karaoke (although I only indulge in karaoke very occasionally anyway) but that's the problem I have when singing along to him in any situation. I still do when no-one's in the house though- thank God for double glazing, eh?

trust me, none of that matters
singing Moz is something I was at first shy about, but people always seem to enjoy it when I do it
and at least a couple of girls, sort of, hit on me afterwards
so even though I cannot sing worth a dang, I aint gonna stop doing it!

What Morrissey songs are people's favorites to sing?

Possibly 'First of the Gang to Die'?
I can imagine everyone starts sing-along.

The LAST Morrissey song I would sing.

The obscurer, the better.

our selection at work is still poor(we have only about 10ish Moz/Smiths songs) so I stick with:

First of the Gang to Die
The More You Ignore Me, the Closer I Get
&
Girlfriend in a Coma

but I really want us to get:

Sing Your Life
Speedway
Such a Little Thing Makes Such a Big Difference
&
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out

OK, I look forward to listen to you singing 'Journalists Who Lie' or 'Harsh Truth of the Camera Eye'.

I gave what I imagine was a stirring rendition of 'The Lazy Sunbathers' in a pub toilet last weekend, having somehow found a willing acquaintance who knew all the words. Terrible acoustics, though.

I was more thinking of "The Public Image" or "My Life Is A Succession Of People Saying Goodbye".
