Eileen! You’re a Spartan, too? I never knew that!

If you ever make it to East Lansing again, I’ll meet you for a bucket.

Oh, and p.s., the above-mentioned Suzanne and I were known for our stirring duet of “Dancing Queen.” You can dance! You can jive!

Larramie, *I* think it is, and more on that during the “hobbies” week.

Annie, I sing in my car, too! More than once I’ve caught myself belting something out at a stoplight where even with the windows rolled up everyone can hear me. Whoops!

Eve, the title of this post is indeed a Pat Benatar reference, but that’s because my favorite songs didn’t make good blog titles. I have done this song, though…

Meredith, that’s how I eased into the shameless solo karaoke, starting out in groups…

Tiffany, I’m quite sure I’ll be in a dead panic for my first public reading. Somehow I think that crowd will expect a bit more than my breathy Madonna imitation!

OK, here are my favorite karaoke numbers: “I Love Rock and Roll” (Joan Jett), “Wanted Dead or Alive” (Bon Jovi, a slow song, but the country crowds love it), and probably my personal favorite is the corny but fun, “Kiss Me Deadly”(Lita Ford, baby!)

I have a hard enough time getting up to do a book reading. I’d have to be on prescription medication AND blink drunk to do karaoke. And, no, ladies, that is not a challenge!

Karaoke is fun–I love to sing. But I prefer to get up with a couple of girlfriends and do something together. That way you can’t tell which of us is the worst… Safety in numbers!

I wish someone had taped you doing your number, Kris. Sounds hilarious.

Oh and I just figured out your favorite karaoke song!!!! Is it “Hit me with your best shot” by … who’s it by? I can see her, can’t remember her name. God, it’s one of those post-40 moments. Anyway, you know the one. Is that it???

I am too shy to get up on a stage on purpose but I have probably entertained more people than a karoake bar can hold as I cruise along from here to there daily in my truck, singing along to old 70′s and 80′s tunes.

Guilty pleasure would be the rare occasions I watch commercial television although this instances are so infrequent now I sometimes just stare at the screen like a primitive person newly exposed.
