Karaoke Lyric of the Week

"TWANG"
as performed by George Strait
When I get off of work on Friday after working like a dog all week
I go to meet the boys for a cold one at a little joint up the street
They got a jukebox in the corner full of old country tunes
Feed it five dollars worth of quarters is the first thing I always do
'Cause I need a little twang
A little hillbilly bending on some guitar strings
Some peddle steel whining like a whistle of an old freight train
To get that foot stomping honky tonkin' feeling going through my veins
I need a little twang, twant, twang
Well, I like a lot of kinds of music
I try to keep an open mind
Depending on the mood to strike me
If I'm gonna stay till closing time
So when I wanna lift my spirits to get me feeling worth a dang
I know I'm gonna have to heart it
'Cause I gotta have some Hank to hang
Repeat Chorus 2x
I need a little twang, twang, twang...

Garth Booked for Vegas

Garth Brooks is planning a five year residency at the Wynn hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The one-man show will run Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights for 15 weeks per year. Brooks and casino magnate Steve Wynn revealed details today from a Vegas press conference. Concerts begin December 11, 2009.


“I told him he couldn’t afford me, I was wrong,” joked Brooks during the announcement this afternoon from the Wynn. As part of the deal, Wynn had to buy Brooks a plane to get him to and from his Oklahoma home quickly.


Tickets will be priced at $125 for all levels, with the first five weekends set to go on sale Sat., Oct. 24 at 8 AM/PT (details below). About 200 seats per show will be available exclusively to Wynn hotel guests.


Confirmed dates are December 11, 12, 13; January 1, 2, 3 and 22, 23, 24; and February 12, 13, 14 and 26, 27, 28. Concerts will be 8 PM, with an additional Saturday night show at 10:30 PM.
Though it is being billed as one-man show, Brooks is promising surprise guests.


The late entertainer Danny Gans most recently occupied the Wynn Encore theater, before he passed away. “This room is for special moments of entertainment,” said Wynn, reiterating that he plans to maintain only superstar level acts in the theater when it is not in use by Brooks.


Brooks’ charity partner is Teammates For Kids and some proceeds will benefit them.
Brooks revealed this morning that he is officially ending his retirement. Following much speculation, he shared the news at a press conference in Nashville and then took the press with him to Las Vegas for another event.


It has been almost 11 years since Brooks did a full-scale tour. The 47-year-0ld reiterated today that he will not be touring or recording until his youngest daughter, 13, graduates from high school in about five years.


With more than 128 million albums sold, Brooks is the best selling solo artist in U.S. history. He is the only solo artist in RIAA history to have six albums top the 10 million mark. In the midst of one of the most successful careers in music history, Garth retired in 2001, delivered his last record for Capitol Records and moved back to Oklahoma to raise his children.


With a $5 service charge and a $13 tax, the total ticket price is $143. Tickets may be booked by calling 702.770.7469 or online at www.wynnlasvegas.com/boxoffice.

Karaoke Etiquette


APPLAUDE!
Anyone who gets up to perform deserves respect. We are all here to have fun, and it only takes a little encouragement.

Please don't Boo, harass, heckle, or interrupt a singer. It's not about being the best, it's about having the best time.

Please do not walk away from the stage with the microphones. Also, we ask that you do not tap on them or mishandle them in any way. The equipment is expensive, any you may be held accountable for any damages.

Please do Not bring any drinks with you when you come up to perform. Do not set beverages on the DJ table or near the equipment.

Please do not whine about the number of times called up to sing. The Karaoke Host will be as fair as possible. Remember that any new performer will be filtered into the rotation.

Please do not continuously ask when your turn is coming up if the number of singers is heavy. If you have "Leaving" on your mind it's not fair to the others to sing out of turn.

Please do not use foul language when at the mics. Most establishments find this unacceptable.

Please do not sing along louder than the performer, sing back-up, or come up to accompany the performers without being asked. This can be very irritating and distracting to the singer. If you desire to join someone on stage, make sure you have asked them before the performance begins.

Please don't carry on loud conversations next to the stage, or walk in front of the screen while someone is singing.

Please do not bring your own drinks to the karaoke show. Most of the time, beverage sales are the only way an establishment makes any money from a show. Support the establishment that is hosting Karaoke.

Handle our song books with TLC.. they are expensive and time consuming to assemble.
Ask the host for newer songs as books are only updated a few times per year.
Don't be afraid to dance to the music... you don't have to sing to enjoy the shows.
Have FUN! Karaoke is all about having a good time whether you sing or just enjoy the performances. :)

Karaoke Lyric of the Week

Angel of the Morning
as preformed by Juice Newton
There'll be no string to bind my hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
There's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no need to take me home
I'm old enough to face the dawn
Just call me Angel of the Morning
Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me Angel of the Morning
Angel
Then slowly turn away, from me
Maybe the suns light will be dim
And it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
CHORUS
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the day
Or the years baby, baby, baby...
Just call me Angel of the Morning
Angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me...
CHORUS
FADE
