Karaoke Madness at Quarter Bar

Spring break was last week, that means no kids and I get to socialize during the week. Sarah told me about Thursday karaoke at Quarter Bar in Addison so we made plans to go. Some of Sarah's friends joined us at first, and later a few of my friends joined to partake in the excitement. I know, this sounds boring, and I might be losing you, but bear with me.

Thursday night karaoke is chocked full of excitment. First off, there is a small group that comes in who are half emo half theatre junkie. Needless to say they turn each song intoa performance. There was a very special rendition of "Springtime in Germany for Hitler" by a guy who resembles an angry black eyeliner wearing emo goth creature that dwells in dimly lit places waiting to prey upon cockroaches and rats. I should have got a picture, but I missed my chance on this one. Maybe another time. We also dealt with the nerdy fat bad skinned guy who was "smoking" to be cool. He would take a drag from a Marlboro Red and blow it right back out without inhaling. It was a horrendous odor and left my sinuses clogged up for 2 days.

The best of all, the one that had us laughing so hard we cried and caused me to break out the cell phone for video was glorious. A young black guy, mid-twenties maybe gets on stage. We watch the credits roll, "Pussy Control" by Prince. I'm sure you may have heard the song, the outlandish wails by Prince that transgress into song lyrics and into a sort of rap. It's a great beat, energetic, but enough about the song. The guy has on gym shorts, a black wife beater, and a face mask on his head. From the second the song starts it's apparent he has no clue how the song or lyrics go. We laugh a little, but when he gets wound up the light laughter becomes roars and fits of belly laughs and tears. I can't do it justice in words, so here's the video...




I apologize for the audio being poor, but it was from my cell phone in the bar. What you are hearing is the "AHHHHHHH" wailing of the singer and then him screaming "PUSSY CONTROL" His gyrationand humping the ground sealed the deal on the most hilarious karaoke moment I've ever seen. We all agreed that it was one of the funniest moments in quite a while.
