And scaring the crap out of me. I turn to face the other way
but there he is again! “What a GOOD WIFE you would
be!” I’m afraid to turn around again so I just shut my eyes
and wait until the song is over. I’m still a little traumatized
by the incident but also grati ed that I would make a good
wife.
I’m going to write a whole separate column on karaoke,
because there’s a lot going on there, but su ce it to say that
every time we go to Karaoke Night I threaten my wife by
saying I’m going to get up there and do “Summer Wind,”
with my World Famous Frank Sinatra Imitation. And she
says Please, please do not do that, and I try to extort a few
bribes from her, and we dicker back and forth, and while all
this is going on, some idiot gets up to the mike, and what
does he do? “Summer Wind.” And not only does he make a
mockery of the song by doing it perhaps better than I would
have, but now I have no leg to stand on with the bribes.
So I have to quickly pivot to Plan B, and I’m about to
suggest that I storm the stage to perform “Strangers in the
Night” in a Sinatra-o , but just then 10 teenage girls wear-
ing “State Champions” jackets grab all the microphones
and yell the song “Don’t Stop Believin’,” using only one
of the notes, at approximately one million decibels. ey
only know one of the notes but they know all the words, so
they don’t have to bother reading them o the screen and
they can concentrate on just the yelling, and of course their
dance moves, which they stole from the cheerleading squad.
Midway through the performance I had to turn my chair so
I wouldn’t be deaf in just one ear. Later when I could hear
again I asked them what they were state champions of and
they said eld hockey, and I said thank god it wasn’t karaoke.
So, if you see a deaf looking guy singing Sinatra songs in a
bunny costume walking sideways up a mogul trail, steer clear
because it might be me.
