KARAOKE SINGING AND SONG PARODIES

As John Cleese would say...

"And now for something completely different"

I am not sure if I have shared this with you before, but I really enjoy singing karaoke and even run a show of my own on a Saturday night. Being a host one has to be able to sing whatever people want to hear from heavy and rock, to country and ballads, and be available for help with most duets...Even MEAT LOAF (all 8 minutes).

Some of the stuff I really love singing are silly songs, parades.

I have written about five parodies, two of which I do regularly at various shows, normally straight after somebody has song the correct version.

My version of Kerri Underwoods "HE CHEATS" called "NEXT TIME SHE EATS" and Garth Brooks "FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES" called "I'VE GOT A RASH IN LOW PLACES" seem to go down well.

(Check the songs at http://4tenderheart.com/karasong.html)

Any way... on the way into work today, I got a flash of inspiration which churned into an idea and tonight became reality.

My blog tonight shares my brand new parodies of "HERO" by Enrique Igliasais... "PLEASE GIVE ME A HERO"

PLEASE GIVE ME A HERO

YOU CAN COOK, WHAT YOU WANT TO COOK
YOU CAN FRY, WHAT YOU WANT TO FRY
I DON’T CARE, WHAT YOU COOK TONIGHT
A SUB WILL DO JUST FINE

I DON’T WANT, NO GREASY BURGER N’ BUN
I DON’T WANT, NO CHICKEN TO.
ALL I WANT, IS THE THING I LOVE
A LARGE HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE, TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
BUT PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

NICE WHITE BREAD, NOT TO OLD AND STALE
WITH MEAT AND A SLICE OF CHEESE
AM I ASKING TO MUCH, IF YOU DON’T MIND
I WANT HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

OH I’M FEELING SO HUNGRY
I’M FEELING SO VERY HUNGRY
OH YES
AM I ASKING TO MUCH, IF YOU DON’T MIND
I WANT HERO HERE TONIGHT

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
FILLED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
BUT PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE

I JUST WANT A HERO BABY
HEAPED WITH HAM ‘N TURKEY TO
LETTUCE TOMATO MAKES IT BETTER
PLEASE JUST HOLD THE MAYONNAISE
I DON’T WANT NO MAYONNAISE

I JUST WANT A HERO


Well I hope you enjoyed the parodies, I'll be singing it at my show this Saturday

Thursday's Thirsty Thumblings

It's a case of "where have all the hours gone" rather than all the flowers gone. It's Thursday already, I'm still trying to find time to do today's blog, the first practice of the softball season and the start of a new karaoke show. That is in between my normal IT job, physiotherapy, looking after two kids, sorting out bookings for a book marketing expo in July. On top of that... having two radio programs to plan, the everyday blogging, emailing and internet work plus the fact that I am still not 100% I really wonder where the hours go in my day.

So today it's Thursday, so how do I plan this evenings fun/work?

Try and dash down this blog to share a few items... a quick cup of tea and a andwich, head off to softball practice.

Now softball is not a game played in England, but we do play cricket, and it really upsets people seeing me pushing the ball for single bases like pushing a ball into gaps for a quick run in cricket. Being nearer sixty then fifty at least I can still get around the bases without the use of a walker or electric scooter. The other thing is I am the manager of the team so that means I have to be there for first practice to supply bats balls etc... At least after the game we will stop off for a beer after the thirsty work, to welcome any new players we have join our team this year...

So heading back... stop of at a new karaoke show, to support a fellow KDJ on their first night. A couple of songs and finally home.

Thumbling for thoughts, I will have to try and think of something for tomorrows blog a fresh theme for Sunday's UK blog and plan Saturdays radio show.

Then a few small hours sleep before getting up at just after 5:30am to head for another day at work.

And then I wonder why I have not written much on my next book.
