Dolly Parton's first appearance on the Porter Wagoner Show
September 24, 1967
You clap when a song finishes on the radio.
Strangers walk up to you in Wal-Mart and compliment you on your singing.
People you don’t know ask, “Aren’t you a karaoke singer?”
You hear a song on the radio and think, that’s number SC7503-10.
You go to a concert and wonder when they’re gonna call you up to sing.
You write lists like this on the back of karaoke slips.
Last call comes and you say, “But I’ve got another song yet to sing!”
You have laryngitis and you still try to sing.
Someone asks you if you have a slip, and they’re not talking about underwear!
You know the location of every karaoke bar within 50 miles of your house.
You would never consider dating someone with a bad voice.
You see karaoke on TV and you think, “That’s not the way it’s done!”
You actually know that karaoke means “empty orchestra.”
It feels weird to go to a new karaoke bar and not sit at the “regulars” table.
You get upset when someone else is sitting in your place.
You hate it when someone sings your song.
The word “rotation” no longer conjures up thoughts of tires or sex.
You think you sound better than the original.
The first thing you think when you hear a new song on the radio is, “When is this coming out on karaoke?”
You’re a woman but you’re still willing to sing the guys part.. or viseversa.
