Karaoke For Fun And Profit #3 [Monday, Period 4, 7/14]

[mike-cannon.livejournal.com]

Mike was feeling a bit nostalgic today, so he reset the Danger Room simulation to the familiar Club Mystique at the original Montecito casino, as it had looked during the Las Vegas Centennial. "A few years ago, my aunt Gladys Knight performed in Las Vegas to celebrate the city's 100th birthday, and I had the honor of being a member of her back-up group," said Mike. "Now, I couldn't get Aunt Gladys out here today, but I thought we'd talk about a musical genre that is near and dear to my heart: R&B. Like most major music genres, you'll get different sub-sets such as contemporary R&B, soul, funk, and even reggae." As he spoke, Mike passed out a few song catalogs for the students to look through.

"As karaoke singers, the type of R&B songs you'll hear most often are either the Motown classics, which includes hits from the '50s and '60s, or contemporary, which includes R&B hits after the end of the disco era. Today, your task is to perform a song from somewhere in the R&B spectrum. As for myself, I'm going to do one my favorite Gladys Knight song, 'You're The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me.'"

[Please wait for the OCD is up!]

Kevin's grin widened. "Keep the hat on till tonight, and I promise you won't regret it. I'll rock you so hard, you don't even know..."

"Now that's incentive," Toby grinned, playing his hand over Kevin's strong arm. "You gonna sing for me today?"

"Baby, I'll sing anything you want if you let me do that thing to you again," he whispered, leaning in close.

"The thing?" Toby looked at Kevin heatedly. "If you start talking like that, we might not make it through class."

Kevin waggled his eyebrows. "Go on," he said, "pick me out something to sing." Thinking about doing that thing again had totally given him a chubby.

Toby was thoughtful. "How 'bout that one from that movie with the kid in the water? I always cry at that part."

"Is that an R&B song?" he asked.

Re: Lecture [WS3]

"Totally," Toby nodded. "It has rhythm and she's definitely blue."

"If we don't find a little private space after this class, there's a part of me that will be turning blue." Kevin nodded towards his own crotch, just in case it wasn't obvious.

Toby licked his lips, looking at Kevin's bulging crotch. "There's gotta be a closet or a bathroom around here somewhere." He knew just what to do about Kevin's problem.

"Well, first, I'll sing your song," he said. "Then, we'll worry about this. Until then, I just need to think of someone really unattractive. Any ideas?"

"Um, have you seen that one dude with the hunchback? He's in serious need of an intervention."

"Oh, dude, you totally just killed my boner," Kevin said, smiling appreciatively. "I love you."
