Kangaroo Karaoke

[tiger in the night]

I'm outa this smoky old pub...time for beach Karaoke.  Stars shining on the water, bonfire on the sand, floral shirts and thongs.

I'm with you Rosy Cheeks.  Although the rayon is bringing out the ham in me. 

So, sing along all, if you feel like it ...


I, I love the colorful clothes she wears
And the way the sunlight plays upon her hair
I hear the sound of a gentle word
On the wind that lifts her perfume through the air

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)

Close my eyes
She's somehow closer now
Softly smile, I know she must be kind
When I look in her eyes
She goes with me to a blossom world

I'm pickin' up good vibrations
She's giving me excitations
I'm pickin' up good vibrations
(Oom bop bop good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop excitations)

(Ahhhhhhh)
(Ah my my what elation)
I don't know where but she sends me there
(Ah my my what a sensation)
(Ah my my what elations)
(Ah my my what)

Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin' with her
Gotta keep those lovin' good vibrations
A happenin'

Ahhhhhhhh
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
(I'm pickin' up good vibrations)
She's giving me excitations
(Oom bop bop)
(Excitations)
Good good good good vibrations
(Oom bop bop)
She's na na . . .

Na na na na na
Na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na
Do do do do do
Do do do
Do do do do do
Do do do

I'm just one of those boys of summer.

If the beach party becomes a bit drunken and bawdy can I rip out a version of Barry Crockers 'Me one eye trouser snake?'

Soul Man
Blues Brothers
By Isaac hayes

Comin' to ya on a dusty road
Good lovin' I got a truck load
And when you get it you got something
So don't worry cause I'm coming

I'm a soul man

I learned how to love before I could eat
I was educated from good stock
When I start lovin' I just can't stop

I'm a soul man

I'm a soul man
I'm a soul man

Well grab the rope and I'll pull you in
Give you hope and be your only boyfriend

[Tigerclan]

Ah yes the beach 8)

It's the 70s and a young TC looks up at the skies for inspiration

Hoping, wishing that Jeff Lynne and the ELO team would come and take him to Xanadu

Sailin' away on the crest of a wave
It's like magic
Rollin' and ridin' and slippin' & slidin'
It's magic

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose,
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

Making believed this is what you conceived
From your worst day,
Moving in line then you look back in time
To your first day

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose,
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose



Takin' a dive `cos you can't halt the slide
Floating downstream,
So let her go don't start spoiling the show
It's a bad dream

And you, and your sweet desire,
You took me, higher and higher
It's a livin' thing,
It's a terrible thing to lose,
It's a given thing
What a terrible thing to lose

 

[Knighter]

Bugger the Electric Light Company Tee Cee.........

I'm gonna swagger on stage with a lit cigarette in my mouth and a half full bottle of Jack Daniels in my hand. Then stike the opening chords to......Before they make me run!!!!

Worked the bars and sideshows along the twilight zone
Only a crowd can make you feel so alone
And it really hit home
Booze and pills and powders, you can choose your medicine
Well here's another goodbye to another good friend

After all is said and done
Gotta move while it's still fun
Let me walk before they make me run
After all is said and done
I gotta move, it's still fun
I'm gonna walk before they make me run

Watched the taillights fading, there ain't a dry eye in the house
They're laughing and singing
Started dancing and drinking as I left town
Gonna find my way to heaven, `cause I did my time in hell
I wasn't looking too good but I was feeling real well

After all is said and done
I gotta move I had my fun
Let us walk before they make me run

After all is said and done
I did alright, I had my fun
I will walk before they make me run

 

[Tigers of Old]

I have a request. Strugs can you please take the stage.

Respendent in your acid wash jeans, muscle T - Shirt and desert boots lit by strobe lights and smoke machine! Please do the Choirboys justice!


STRUGGLE TOWN

We had this dream about a chance to go
To the city streets we've heard are paved with gold
And I'm walking out
I'm not looking back
I'm never going back
Chorus

Back to Struggle Town
Down to Struggle Town

I hear my father's working night and day
In Struggle Town it has to be that way
The more you give
The less you get
I'm never going back

Back to Struggle Town
Down to Struggle Town
Oh back to Struggle Town
Back in Struggle Town

And I remember when I was a kid
Seventeen trying to be twenty-one
Never happy, never satisfied
And now I wish that I was home again
Out of Struggle Town
Out of Struggle Town
Never going back
Life in Struggle Town
Hey, back to Struggle Town

Get out of Struggle Town
Don't you know you gotta leave
Get out of Struggle Town
Never, going back
Never going back
Oh yeah, ah never going back
Struggle Town
Struggle Town


Crowd goes wild. ;D

 

[FightingFury]

TC you are not to be denied,you ruled the pub,now the beach is all yours.
(PS Did you ever swim at Frankston in tartan speedos for a dare??)

The long haired lover from Liverpool number made me fall off my chair in laughter with applause,brilliant work.

Aah much better. I'm emotionally in touch with myself once more. I do hope you enjoyed this rendition. Thankyou.

[Tigerclan]

ToO Glad you got that out of your system man :clap :clap :clap :clap :clap

No Struggs never got into the budgie smugglers at Frankston

We have unwritten laws about that sort of behaviour

There was a particular day that the weather was very nasty

We were literally swimming in the gutters down the Highway

The waves were so huge that you could step off the pier atop a wave

And drop 6 feet instantly, I was fully clothed though

That should have been the into to my last song

 

[Dyer'ere]

Some of the most legendary songs ever perforemd are right here on KK FM.

I gotta single out Steve Earle. It was only a matter of time. Came sooner than I thought. But it was inevitable. Can we just talk about the music?? ;D

I'm inspired to sing a song but first I gottsta scout the room.

She can't just look French. She's gotta sound French. OMG, what's the woman with the Seychelles good looks doin' next to the bar. I've never seen her cohort before. I'll bet it's Michael. (The guy with the bad 'tude swinging the bottles behind the bar a la Brian Brown is obviously struggs.) I check her cords (chords). Like a sound gag from Maxwell Smart, but more of that later.

Moving right along, there is a one man Vienna Boys Choir wearing a kilt exposing now low-sheen calves; on a cool table. I whisper a question. He replies in kind. The deal is done.

Lights down.

An organ plays solo.

Lights up. My suit is creme Nehru. I wear wraparound sunglasses but I say nothing. During the massive organ solo, (absolutely NO pun intended), I just stand there motionless. Homo Erectus.

Much ado about nothing then-

My accompanist, heavily auditioned, pipes up with the only lyric- "J'taime". Repeat.

Everybody digs this. :spin

;D

 

[Tigerclan]

:hihi :hihi :hihi :hihi :hihi

I feel all kinda warm and fuzzy

 

[Tigerclan]

There's a fella over there having a celebration that he hasn't told us about....

Come on everyone let's embarass the hell out of him

Stand up stand up Mainlandy

Something from Weird Al



Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, it's time to celebrate your birthday, it happens every year
We'll eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer
You should be good and happy that there's something you can eat
A million people every day are starving in the street

Your daddy's in the gutter with the wretched and the poor
Your mama's in the kitchen with a can of Cycle Four
There's garbage in the water
There's poison in the sky
I guess it won't be long before we're all gonna die

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

Well, what's the matter little friend, you think this party is the pits
Enjoy it while you can, we'll soon be blown to bits
The monkeys in the pentagon are gonna cook our goose
Their finger's on the button, all they need it an excuse

It doesn't take a military genius to see
We'll all be crispy critters after World War III
There's nowhere you can run to, nowhere you can hide
When they drop the big one, we all get fried

(Come on boys and girls, sing along, ok?)

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow! (background screaming, sound effect)

Well there's a punk in the alley and he's looking for a fight
There's an Arab on the corner buying everything in sight
There's a mother in the ghetto with another mouth to feed
Seems that everywhere you look today there's misery and greed

I guess you know the Earth is gonna crash into the sun
But that's no reason why we shouldn't have a little fun
So if you think it's scary, if it's more than you can take
Just blow out the candles and have a piece of cake

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
wow!

Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday
Happy birthday to you

(Happy Birthday!)

And a pinch to grow an inch!

:birthday :birthday :birthday

 

[tiger in the night]

And now it is my delirious pleasure to present to you ...


The song with the greatest opening line..


In all of musical history....


OONKACHAKA OONKA OONKACHAKA OONKA OONKACHAKA OONKA


I can't stop this feeling
Deep inside of me.
Girl you just don't realize
What you do to me.
When you hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know everything's alright.

I, I'm hooked on a feeling.
High on believing
That you're in love with me.

Lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind.
Girl you keep me thirsty for
Another cup of wine.
I got it bad for you girl,
But I don't need a cure.
I'll just stay addicted and hope I can endure.
All the good love, when we're all alone.
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on.

I, I'm hooked on a feeling.
High on believing
That you're in love with me.

I, I'm hooked on a feeling.
I'm high on believing
That you're in love with me.


Thank you. Anytime, anywhere.

:clap :clap
I hope you didnt mind us all joining you with the chorus.
Wanna have a crack at Little Green Bag later?

 

[Michael]

While Otis and I were having a slash in the gents (gosh that boys impressive) we’ve decided on a collaboration.

Tight pants, very very tight pants, body shirts, tan vinyl jackets, far bit of bling nestling in the chest hair
Tigers socks down the pants and we’re away


Wucka Wucka Wucka Wucka (that’s the guitar bit)


Otis fronts the microphone……

Who's the black private *smile*
That's a sex machine to all the chicks?
SHAFT!
Ya damn right!

Who is the man that would risk his neck
For his brother man?
SHAFT!
Can you dig it?

Who's the cat that won't cop out
When there's danger all about?
SHAFT!
Right On!

They say this cat Shaft is a bad mother
SHUT YOUR MOUTH!
I'm talkin' 'bout Shaft.
THEN WE CAN DIG IT!

He's a complicated man
But no one understands him but his woman
JOHN SHAFT!

Otis, don’t acknowledge the applause, just walk off slow man, real slow

You read my thoughts. Talk about another great opening. It was a toss up between the two for that early group walk down the lane scene in Resevoir Dogs for Tarantino. I think he got it wrong.

Otis I wanted to be Joey. Was it my jeans? Not enough holes or the receding hair line?

 

[Otis]

I just found these jeans lying around.. size 30...

I don't think I'll ever be able to have children after wearing them... were they yours? Maybe I should stick to Meatloaf numbers, at least that way my clothes will be comfortably loose.

If I give you the jeans back you have to promise not to do any Bon Jovi numbers in them... else there'll be trouble
