“look all around, there’s nothing but bluuue skyyyyyyyyy…”
ariock‘s recording of our Karaoke version of Hey Jude from the Chicago hivemeet just surprised me in my random MP3 collection on Athena (the laptop). It’s the worst thing you’ve ever heard – the microphones were set to maximum echo, and we can’t stop laughing, nor can we, as a group, hit the right notes. That is, until the nanana’s, when entelein ups her volume in some act of pity or self-preservation. Someone just said into the mic, “I’d just like to say that the fake Paul McCartney is freaking us out.” Is that ThaJinx shouting, “Judy Judy Juudyjuudyjudy?”
Uh oh. That’s my voice on the mic, now… in the longest ending to any karaoke song, ever.
And then, of course, Yellow Submarine. Hey, it’s not our fault that the sushi bar had ten CD’s. Total. We can barely sing, we’re laughing so hard. At least, that’s my excuse, and I’m sticking to it.
I love you beekeepers all over the place. Thanks for some great memories – don’t be going anywhere, ‘k?
I still haven’t the heart to listen to the duet of Woody and myself singing Mack the Knife. I think I need to be as equally tipsy as I was that night to listen to it.
Oh god. I almost forgot. I’m totally clicking on it now.
I have yet to listen to it.
Why does everybody fear it? Was it THAT bad?
Fake Paul McCartney
Um…I believe I am the one who mentions fake Paul. He was just totally creepy.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
All of the faux videos were totally awesome, and by awesome I mean creepy. Like, 1% okay.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
Oh, and I loved how the Yellow Submarine video had all the pseudo-Beatles in full Sgt. Pepper regalia.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
Are those still up? Somehow I was lazy and never bothered to download them, and everytime I think about it, i’m never near a computer.
I’d really like to get all of them. Even the horribly horribly atrocious Mack the Knife.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
If not, catch me at home sometime and I’ll send them to you.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
It is. It is friendslocked to protect the guilty.
Re: Fake Paul McCartney
The link above doesn’t show up as obviously as I’d hoped. But be assured…it IS there!
It was too bad Ozy didn’t stay long enough to participate.
I am now drawn to listen. I love the random bursts of laughter care of myself and others throughout, and when Dasro and I were harmonizing near the end. That’s so not me screaming the JUDYJUDYJUDYJUDY at the wrong spot. I DID, however, do it at the right spot. Good luck figuring out which part that was.
Good God, that was so awful and wonderful.
Totally 3% great
Clearly, we need to do this again.
Re: Totally 3% great
Obviously.
hmmm, that might have been me at the wrong spot… i have fuzzy memories of that night
