NOTES:
1. Particularly well-received I think: "Southern Hospitality," "Lovely Day" (the first time I did it, not recorded in my planner it would seem), "Good Life," "Zoot Suit Riot"
2. Appreciated by single specific strangers: "Heartbreaker," "Rock On," "Knocks You Down," "What A Fool Believes"
3. Appreciated by absolutely nobody: "Dance the Night Away," "Mysterious Ways," everything from 04/03/11, "Get On Up," "Jungle Love"
3. Done primarily to amuse Mary: Lucas "With The Lid Off," "Gimme Gimme Good Lovin'" (because of the "huh, huh huh HUH HA" part),
4. "Crazy In Love" was an attempt to win mystery song. Wrong guess. The karaoke version has Jay-Z's part just as a recording, rather than letting you do it yourself. Annoying! "No Scrubs" was also a mystery song attempt, also unsuccessful. This is a terrible song to do at karaoke because they don't have Left-Eye's rap and you're just repeating the chorus a whole lot.
5. "Sunglasses at Night" was themed to my Cyclops costume for Halloween, and is about the right length to sustain a joke like that although there are too many choruses at the end, as always. Addendum: this song isn't very good.
