Obviously, our signature karaoke song is "Hot Blooded" by Foreigner. Because we have a fever of one-hundred and three (you can check it and see). We haven't actually taken our temperature in over five years, so we might have to actually check it and see before we sing it again.

I don't have a standard song, but I do like karaoke; I've done it
a few times. Last time I did it I sang "Unfaithful," the Rihanna song.
I like her, but that one isn't one of my favorites of hers. It was just
the only one of hers they had. I've also sung stuff by Sixpence None
the Richer and Beatles songs: one time I did "We Can Work it
Out."

I never ever, ever, ever sing karaoke. But if I did, it would be a
good easy rock song. Something you can scream to on key. Like AC/DC.
Don't sing the Eagles, whatever you do. Always a mistake. [First
Regular: I have to be wasted to sing karaoke. I sound great in the
shower, but not to other people. Second Regular: I know what you mean,
the last time I sang karaoke, this girl wrote something on a piece of
paper and gave it to this other girl and they both started laughing. I
don't know what that meant.]

I don't do karaoke. Ok, I've done it at home, when I was a kid, but
never now. I'd sing a lot of Russian songs then; you wouldn't have
heard of them. I don't like singing, not even in the shower. I know
what you're thinking, and no, I won't sing for you.

I shouldn't tell you this, because I'll get made fun of. I've done
karaoke twice. It was great. I sang "I'm 18" by Alice Cooper and
"Positively 4th St." by Dylan, which is hard. I dare you to try
it. Want a shot?

Favorite drink: Wine
"You're Just Too Good to Be True." That's what I sing. It's easy and
classic. [Regular: I'm not afraid to sing Elvis. "I'm in love, I'm
all shook up," you know what I'm saying?]

I don't do karaoke a lot — I do have a standard song, but I
don't just sing that one. I also do some CCR. I tried them once and it
just worked, same with my standard song, though that one isn't my
favorite or anything. The song is "Black," by Pearl Jam. [Why that
one?] Because I sing it goooood.
