The word karaoke comes from the Japanese words ‘kara’ meaning ’empty’ and ‘oke’ meaning ‘orchestra’. It first became popular in English in 1979
Karaoke is a Japanese word that refers to a performance in which a person sings along with recorded music. It’s a popular form of entertainment at restaurants and clubs: amateur singers choose their favourite well-known song to sing and then perform it for the crowd.
Don Mclean – American Pie (v2)
I can still remember how
That music used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those people dance
And maybe they’d be happy for a while
With every paper I’d deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn’t take one more step
When I read about his widowed bride
Something touched me deep inside
The day the music died
So
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
And do you have faith in God above
If the Bible tells you so?
Do you believe in rock and roll?
Can music save your mortal soul?
And can you teach me how to dance real slow?
‘Cause I saw you dancin’ in the gym
You both kicked off your shoes
Man, I dig those rhythm and blues
With a pink carnation and a pickup truck
But I knew I was out of luck
The day the music died
I started singin’
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
And moss grows fat on a rolling stone
But, that’s not how it used to be
In a coat he borrowed from James Dean
And a voice that came from you and me
The jester stole his thorny crown
The courtroom was adjourned
No verdict was returned
The quartet practiced in the park
And we sang dirges in the dark
The day the music died
We were singin’
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
The birds flew off with a fallout shelter
Eight miles high and falling fast
The players tried for a forward pass
With the jester on the sidelines in a cast
While sergeants played a marching tune
We all got up to dance
Oh, but we never got the chance
The marching band refused to yield
Do you recall what was revealed
The day the music died?
We started singin’
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
And singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
A generation lost in space
With no time left to start again
Jack Flash sat on a candlestick
‘Cause fire is the devil’s only friend
My hands were clenched in fists of rage
No angel born in Hell
Could break that Satan’s spell
To light the sacrificial rite
I saw Satan laughing with delight
The day the music died
He was singin’
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
And I asked her for some happy news
But she just smiled and turned away
Where I’d heard the music years before
But the man there said the music wouldn’t play
The lovers cried, and the poets dreamed
But not a word was spoken
The church bells all were broken
The Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost
They caught the last train for the coast
The day the music died
And they were singing
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
And them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
This’ll be the day that I die
Bye, bye Miss American Pie
Drove my Chevy to the levee but the levee was dry
Them good ole boys were drinking whiskey and rye
Singin’ this’ll be the day that I die
5 Tips for Singing Karaoke
Here are some other things to keep in mind about how to have a successful karaoke night:
Warm up your voice before singing so you can really hit those high notes! Follow along with this quick video on vocal warm ups for singers.
Look confident. Start with a smile and with your feet planted shoulder width apart. Make no apologies for being on that stage!
Pick a song you really know so you’re not always having to look at the lyrics on the screen. Don’t forget you have an audience that wants you to sing to them!
Use good vocal technique. Breathe low, and keep your sound placed in your mask rather than shouting into the microphone.
Practice at home! YouTube has many excellent channels, such as KaraFun, that can help you practice.
