How to Be an Entertainer Workshop #1, Caritas, 05.24.06, Afternoon
[OOC: I'll be AFK at work for most of the day, so interaction will have to be just between you lovely people until later. It'll be okay! Workshop info post will be up ASAP.]
After the students made their way into the lounge at Caritas, the zombie band started playing "The Final Countdown" and GOB took the stage.
"Hi there. My name is GOB Bluth and I'm here to teach you how to be an entertainer. Over the next few weeks, you'll be trying your hand at ventriloquism, dancing, illusion, and today's topic, singing. We're in a karaoke bar. You should have seen this one coming."
"So today, we're focusing on music. You'll be getting on stage and doing two songs today. The first song should be something you like, the second should be something you hate. The second one is important because your manager is going to force you to do things you hate. This is a small example of that."
"If you're not in stage, you're on heckle duty. Yell at them, toughen them up. Remember, singers, it's nothing personal. I'm a fantastic illusionist and some people in the crowd are still jerks."
"I also want you to start thinking about your entrance music. Next week, you'll be telling the class what kind of music you want to introduce your arrival. You will live this music. Eat it, breathe it, change your ring tone to it. When people hear this music, they will think of you. In my experience, 80's music works best for this kind of stuff."
"Oh, and if anyone tries to use any of that Rob Thomas crap for anything in this class, the Zombie Band gets your brain. That's not a threat, it's a promise. If you need me, I'll be at the bar."

Re: The Stage [WS1]
So he took the stage and figured that if he had to sing like her, he might as well dance like her, and broke into some typical Britney-esque gyrating.
"Baby, can’t you see
I’m calling
A guy like you
Should wear a warning
It’s dangerous
I’m fallin’
There’s no escape
I can’t wait
I need a hit
Baby, give me it
You’re dangerous
I’m lovin’ it
Too high
Can’t come down
Losing my head
Spinning ‘round and ‘round
Do you feel me now
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
It’s getting late
To give you up
I took a sip
From my devil's cup
Slowly
It’s taking over me
Too high
Can’t come down
It’s in the air
And it’s all around
Can you feel me now
With a taste of your lips
I’m on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I’m addicted to you
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
And I love what you do
Don’t you know that you’re toxic
Don't you know that you're toxic
With a taste of your lips
I'm on a ride
You're toxic I'm slipping under
With a taste of a poison paradise
I'm addicted to you
Don't you know that you're toxic
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now
I think I'm ready now
Intoxicate me now
With your lovin' now
I think I'm ready now"

And the gyration thing.
"Okay... this wasn't the song you liked, right?"
