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.
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
Ain’t no reason why
Newspaper prints the story
And racist tempers fly
Next day it starts a riot
Knives and guns are drawn
Two black boys get killed
One white boy goes blind
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets of America
They kill the dream of America
Don’t no one know her name
Lots of people hurt and angry, she’s the one to blame
Who would dare to go
Under the bridge
Over the tracks
That separates whites from blacks
Run for your life
Tonight the riots begin
On the back streets of America
They kill the dream of America

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.
