When you go to karaoke, do you/your group usually sing seriously, with your heart, give it your best or do you sing as to make fun of the songs in a playful way? (mander.xyz)

The two are not mutually exclusive! My go to song is Even Flow by Pearl Jam. The only rough part is the 58 second guitar solo. I know it's 58 seconds because sometimes the screen mentions it lol. I usually just say "what's up (city), how y'all doing tonight?" But I need to come up with something longer to fill the space. Or just sing the guitar songs.

    guitar solo starts

    "Alright, all the Guitar Hero guys knew this part was coming up.. how y'all doing tonight, (city)? Yeah, this is the part where I just stand here, so, if you need to make a trip to the bathroom or visit the lovely bar staff, now's the time!"

    Whenever I'm put on the spot in front of a large group of people I like to put on a emcee/ announcer type character, usually fills the gap and gets some laughs

    If it's a more private group, like karaoke at a friend's house, I typically give background information on the song. "This song was written underneath Seattle's Space Needle and is about the homeless." It would sort of ruin the vibe at a bar so I don't do that lol.
