Karaoke Songs No One Wants To Hear

June 26th 2009 15:43
Thanks to the Chicago Tribune. Here are the songs to avoid at your next karaoke night, and the reasons why. See more tips here.


Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen
The nearly six-minute-long song contains a 27-second guitar solo and a 47-second musical interlude. Unless the karaoke performer starts head-banging like the cast of "Wayne's World" during that time, expect awkward swaying while the audience stares blankly.


Karaoke Songs to avoid. American Pie by Don McClean
American Pie by Don McClean
This classic folk rock tune runs over eight minutes long. No one should hog the karaoke mic for that long. Save the song for car rides and the end of wedding receptions.


Karaoke songs. My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion
Seeing Rose and Jack's love story fall apart as Leonardo DiCaprio disappeared into the freezing Atlantic left any 1997-moviegoer blubbering like a baby. What makes you think revellers want to relive that heartache at 11 p.m. on a Friday? The Grammy- and Academy Award-winning song was Celine Dion's biggest hit, but just because it played nonstop in the late '90s doesn't mean it'll fly with bargoers of 2009.


Worst Karaoke. Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot
Baby Got Back by Sir Mix-a-Lot
It's the most cliché karaoke rap song, but it's predictability alone doesn't make it cringe-worthy. It's that 90 percent of people who select the song realize after the very first "I like big butts and I cannot lie..." that they have no clue about the rest of the lyrics.


bad karaoke songs
Welcome to the Jungle by Guns N' Roses
Karaoke-goers who want to channel Axl Rose will fail miserably if they attempt this fast-pace, high-pitch tune. They can instead fall back on "Sweet Child o' Mine," right? Wrong. Both songs are from the album "Appetite for Destruction," and they'll both kill the crowd's appetite for fun.

Summer of 69 vs 09

June 12th 2009 02:51
The summer of 69 was so legendary that Bryan Adams wrote a hit song about it. However the world has changed much over the last 30 years.
The list below shows the price of relevant goods and services available in both 1969 and today. It gives us an idea as to how our purchasing power or standard of living has changed since then. Keep in mind all the 1969 prices have been adjusted for inflation to give an accurate comparison.

USB Drive Designs

June 1st 2009 02:56
USB Drive - Food Burger

When they first arrived on the scene, these new drives making use of flash memory were referred to by a myriad of different names by different companies and consumers. Names such as thumb drive, memory stick, usb key, flash disk and many more were common. Fortunately this has settled down now and the names "USB Flash Drive" or simply "USB Drive" have become the industry standard.
One thing we're all in agreance on however, is their superiority to predecessors such as floppy disks. One advantage is the freedom designers now have to vary the look of a USB Drive to practically anything your heart desires. See below some creative USB Flash Drive designs. Many more can be seen at BlueBots.com here
