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.

 

Suzanne Vega – Luka

My name is LukaI live on the second floorI live upstairs from youYes, I think you’ve seen me before
If you hear something late at nightSome kind of trouble, some kind of fightJust don’t ask me what it wasJust don’t ask me what it wasJust don’t ask me what it was
I think it’s ’cause I’m clumsyI try not to talk too loudMaybe it’s because I’m crazyI try not to act too proud
They only hit until you cryAfter that you don’t ask whyYou just don’t argue anymoreJust don’t argue anymoreJust don’t argue anymore
Yes, I think I’m okayI walked into the door againWell, if you ask that’s what I’ll sayIt’s not your business anywayI guess I’d like to be aloneWith nothing broken, nothing thrownJust don’t ask me how I amJust don’t ask me how I amJust don’t ask me how I am
My name is LukaI live on the second floorI live upstairs from youYes, I think you’ve seen me before
If you hear something late at nightSome kind of trouble, some kind of fightJust don’t ask me what it wasJust don’t ask me what it wasJust don’t ask me what it was
Only hit until you cryAfter that, you don’t ask whyYou just don’t argue anymoreYou just don’t argue anymoreYou just don’t argue anymore
Thanks!
Thank you!I certainly have a lot of memories connected with that songAnd one of the memories I remember is thatBack then in 1987 right after the songhit come out and it was a hit at radioBut it hadn’t occured to me yet to change the order of the setlistSo I was still singing at fourth in the setlistAnd when I played in Minneapolis, MinnesotaWe had a guest who wanted to come to the show and that was PrinceAnd he was a big fan of the song and he written me a letterAnd he wanted to come to the show, hm, and I said: “Oh, that would be great”So, but what I didn’t realized was that Prince was not just going to come and sit in the audiencePrince wanted to come by himself, he wanted to come into the venue after everyone was sittedAnd so, hm, Prince came in with his bodyguards after everyone was sittedAnd he sat on the flight cases on the side of the stage and I played “Luka” fourth on the setHe got up apparently and danced and then, after the song, left the building with his bodyguardsAnd I never saw himI think Mike, actually, Mike Visceglia on bass was with me at that timeI think he saw Prince dancing on the corner so that’s when I found out that he was even at the showSo… Ahn…This next song is the last song that I finished for this albumI was desperately trying to finish those last few “lyrics”Because they needed the vocals, they needed to finish the vocals

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.
