People, can you hear me?

Karaoke is immensely popular in Japan for the reason that many businessmen dream of becoming famous singers. Due to societal constraints, they settle in a life of anonymity. But, give them a microphone and a Celine Dion power ballad, and they feel like they're on the hull of the Titanic.

Even though I haven't been to Japan and sung karaoke, I do sing whenever I hear a song on the radio (or in my head).

Fuck. I crank that shit up.

There doesn’t need to be a microphone or an amplifier, since my voice carries. A lot. It also doesn’t help that my choice in songs are physically difficult to sing, like Mercy On Me.

Unfortunately, I forget there are people around me, like my neighbours, who may begin to question what's going where I live.

What the fuck is that noise?
Can he please turn down the music?
It sounds like a live cat being slaughtered.
Wow, he’s really amazing!

Ok, so the last will only happen when Paris Hilton learns a new trade, like talent.

It doesn’t matter, anyway.

As long as there’s music, I’ll be there to sing along with it... like bad karaoke.
