Karaoke among friends
After a recent business meeting we took off to the bar because we heard there was Karaoke. We had a good mix of Americans, Germans, and a Japanese guy too. People were knowingly telling me "This is very different from how they do it in Asia," as if I really cared. I sang "Mandi" to my namesaked coworker...she was delighted. Our nanny later informed me that this was horribly geeky, as apparently a Buffy the Vampire slayer sings Mandi in an episode...honestly, I had no idea.
One of the Americans sang that Four Non-blondes song, and he could have had any 40-something woman he wanted. Besides our group, the most notable song was three women who sang "The Boogie-woogie Bugle Boy". They really kicked ass.
I'm always one for thinking about what would be inappropriate on occasions like this. Personally I think you can only go wrong by being overly maudlin and sappy. You know "Take this job and shove it" would be welcomed by management for its hijinks value.
Kind of a lame post, but I need to keep this thing alive.
