The word ‘karaoke’ comes
from ‘kara’, empty (as in
karate – empty hand) and
‘oke’(short for okesutora),
orchestra.

Portland is a Karaoke Town

Yes, I do sing Karaoke.
(Very, Very Well.)

These 10 Commandments
will give you the best
chance at Karaoke
success
by minimizing risk.

The worst thing that can
happen to you at Karaoke
is to be Ignored.

#1. Karaoke is not a Singing Contest

#2. Leave it all on the Stage

3. Use a Fake Name
(mine is Rick Remington)

#4.
No Groups
2 People at Most

#5. Know Your Range

(Don’t Be a Hero)

#6. Pick a Song you Would
Play at a Party.

No Beatles Songs. Ever.

#7. Know the Verses of the Song

This is Why Rap is Very Difficult

#8. Musical Measures are the Enemy

#9. Karaoke DJ = Soup Nazi
Hand them your song, a tip, and walk away.

#10. Adapt to Your Audience

Most Importantly – Have Fun!
