Karaoke For Fun And Profit #5 [Tuesday, Period 5, 6/10]

The night club simulation was gone, and in its place was a theater stage. "I thought a change of scenery was called for since we're covering show tunes today," said Mike. "These are basically songs that were part of a musical, and in some cases, have become popular songs in their own right, outside the context of the original musical. The show tune used to be very popular through the late 1940s, so this is a genre that works better with an older karaoke crowd. However, musicals seem to be making a comeback these days, so a good show tune is definitely something to have on your karaoke playlist."

"One of the best known show tunes is a little song from a Broadway musical called ~~South Pacific~~ Tropical Ocean. I thought it was especially appropriate this week," he added with a grin before going ahead and singing his own version.

The theater has nice, plush seating, but not much in terms of food and beverage service.

Amber curled up in a comfy chair and tried not to go to sleep. Lot's of sun yesterday.

Hey! There was that gal from the beach. Murdock slipped into a chair next to her. "Hope you're doing better than the last time I saw ya," he grinned.

Oh no. Amber flushed scarlet. She knew this guy! That guy from the beach when she was accidentally drunk! Oh my gosh!

"I am so sorry. Gah, oh my gosh I don't know what got into me that night but I am never like that. Ever."

"Easy, there. No big deal," he replied gently. Though he was curious as to why she'd drunk herself into a stupor. "Just glad I found you when I did. Walkin' home in the dark an' all." He was nice enough to leave out the bit that she probably wouldn't have gotten very far on her own.

Once they ping in.

Bert Hanley had no idea how he got roped into this. He just hoped to hear something decent today.

For our performers, once they're ready.

It had taken Savannah awhile to find a fun song that she knew and she liked. Finally she had settled on this one (http://youtube.com/watch?v=9wkeNa_QYKw).

"Great job!" said Mike, applauding. "This is what karaoke is all about, just having fun with it."

Amber chose the same song (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xweHXTI5nfE&feature=related) she sange the very first class, only because she knew it so well and thought it fit.

Hopefully she wouldn't get in trouble for it.

Mike had no problem. He clapped and cheered as usual.

But Bert was looking a little confused. "Hey, isn't that one of my songs?" he asked. It was best not to ask where he got his drink, which looked suspiciously like scotch.

Amber blinked. "One of your songs? Uh, I'm not sure. I just heard it and thought it was pretty."

Bert's simulation had been shut off by this point, so Mike made sure to clap extra hard to make up for the missing audience.

After class, he's sitting in the first row and making plans to hit the beach.

And just like they'd discussed during the party, there was a Murdock. "Hey Mike!"

"Murdock! Good to see you," said Mike. "Have you picked a song yet?"

"Well...maybe. You seem to have a theme going here."
