My America - Nuclear Assualt

Well I'm pig biting mad
At the things that people say
Those communist slobs
And the games that they play
'Cause it's

My America
My America
My America
My America
My America

I could be wrong, but doesn't karaoke involve singing? On that note, here's a two year old link of me singing karaoke.
http://www.kaleste.com/Tunes/WindOfChange.mp3

Scorpions "Wind of Change" from 1990
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park listening to the wind of change
An August summer night soldiers passing by listening to the wind of change

The world is closing in and did you ever think that we could be so close, like brothers
The future's in the air can feel it everywhere blowing with the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away on the wind of change

Walkin’ down the street distant memories are buried in the past forever
I follow the Moskva down to Gorky Park listening to the wind of change

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away on the wind of change

The wind of change blows straight into the face of time
Like a stormwind that will ring the freedom bell for peace of mind
Let your balalaika sing what my guitar wants to say

Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow share their dreams with you and me
Take me to the magic of the moment on a glory night
Where the children of tomorrow dream away on the wind of change

I wasn't a professional at the time I made the recording! Besides, some pros are worse than a lot of the amateurs I've heard ;)

He he! I don't have my speakers hooked until tomorrow so I'll give a listen.

My x is a pro and every time we went karaoke she would steal the show and the rest of us meek closet singers would be intimidated. I tried to get her to dummy down the singing and it was impossible,,,,, Of course when we sang a duet the tomatoes would Fly....at me. +(

And I don't really consider myself a pro anyway. Don't you have to be rich and famous before it really counts? And don't a lot of them require mega FX before even they sound good?

Only if they can't sing, and you can, very well.

Thank you very much for the compliments, but I only included the link cuz I thought there should be some actual karaoke at the 'karaoke Nite at the Cafe'. But, since Captain A. has a problem with a "professional" singing karaoke, I'll give you something not so professional. In order to protect the innocent I won't say who these people are, but I find it kinda humorous. Whatever you do, don't turn it up too loud. Some people like to shout into the microphone when it's turned on and they've had a drink or two :)

This encompasses all aspects of love
betrayal, hatred and depression...



I was alone
my heart was cold
it was a stone
my soul was lonely
like a stone
there was no moss

and when I danced
I danced alone
but then I did not dance
because I was alone
so I did not dance

I shuffled through life invisible
to all happy couples
who would mock me
with their merry laughter
ha ha ha

the only sound i heard
in my lonely silent world
was the rusty hammer of my heart
nailing at the hatred in my soul

but then you came

and my life was turned upside down
you showed me the beauty
of the things that I had never seen
like the snowflake that melts on the eyelash of a startled deer

or the painting of a dog
that wears a deer stalker and smokes a pipe
that made you laugh so heartily
that I previously thought was rubbish

or the duck that lands so clumsily on a frozen pond in winter
but the intoxicating power of our love
transforms this simple act into an anthropomorphic drama
where Mr Duck embarrassed and the other ducks are laughing
quack quack

and then you left

and I died a thousand deaths
and I will die a thousand more
I thought you were an angel
you turned out to be a whore

and everything is turned to dust
and everything is infected with a plague
when you had to sleep with graig

'oh, he's so sensitive'
'he's got a tattoo'
carving your name with a compass onto my forehead
wasn't that enough for you?

the snowflake on the eye of the dear
has turned to puss
that oozes from an open wound
the deer now blinded stumbles into a ravine

the duck lies shredded in a pancake
soaking in the hoi sin of your lies

the dog has moved from the pipe
to 60 cigarettes a day
and coughs away his life
in the cold neon research lab

of your betrayal

This is by Bill Bailey from Part Troll




I love deadlines. I love the whooshing sound they make as they pass.

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere
Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

A singer in a smokey room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on and on and on

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

Strangers waiting, up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlight people, living just to find emotion
Hiding, somewhere in the night

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlight people

Working hard to get my fill,
everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice,
just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on and on and on

I assume you're referring to me on this one, and yeah, Benatar is tough. At the time I recorded those two years ago I was in the process of retraining my voice. I blew it out in the 90's belting out that heavy rock stuff and had to give it up for several years. When I decided I wanted to get back into it I essentially had to relearn how to sing or risk doing it again, so I bought a vocal training book w/CD & a cheap karaoke machine to practice with. It seems to have worked, because since I started performing live again just over a year ago my voice has gotten better instead of worse like it had before. Live & learn I guess...
