Sing your favorite song at Karaoke

“Valentino cleaned off the microphone with a wet wipe, and I sang “I Feel the Earth Move,” which meets my two criteria for a karaoke standby: It’s in my range, and I associate it with genuine emotions. Karaoke is a hobby for me the way golf is a hobby for my dad — there’s gratification in hitting the note — but it’s also like tipping a pitcher into a glass: Feelings that might spill into my life pour out in lines written by someone else. Afterward, people applaud.”

“By far, one of my favorite songs to sing, and hence, my “go to” karaoke song. It was always a favorite of mine growing up. The Johnny Rivers single was recorded live (I think at the Whiskey A Go Go). I probably heard my dad play this hundreds of times on his guitar. It has such a great intro and awesome solo. I remember one time I brought a fedora and a trench coat to the place we were singing so I could wear them when I sang this. Yeah, I was quite the dork in my 20’s!”
