We interrupt the regularly scheduled karaoke blog to talk about an important issue: THE ENVIRONMENT.

It’s where we live, where we sleep, where we eat, and more importantly where we sing.

Let’s keep it clean, folks.

Blog Action Day

Did a Google search today for ‘bobby karaoke’ … #2 hit is some bar in Milwaukie that has a “karaoke bus.” More specifically, it’s called Bobby’s Karaoke Bus.

Craziest thing is, by the look of the pictures… it’s not a bus at all… but rather a bar scene with 1 picture of a person singing. That ain’t no ‘karaoke bus.’

The REAL Bobby Karaoke is calling out the fake “bobby’s karaoke bus” and challenging them to drinking match.

So what do you think, Mollica’s Pub (home of Bobby’s karaoke bus(sic))? Are you up for the challenge?

Post comments.

Bobby karaoke dot com scored a major coup in the karaoke blogging world today by now ranking as the 6,975,472 most trafficked site on ther Internet, according to the mostly innacurate Alexa.

At a press conference today in downtown Venice beach, where Bobby K and his family were gathered, BK spoke through tears as he candidly discussed his “only-in-America” struggle with typing and his family’s support of his goal in karaoke-blogging.

Today is a milestone for karaokers everywhere folks. Let’s head on down to Orchid karaoke in koreatown tonight to celebrate.

I’ll see you there (though you’ll be upside down because I’ll be looking at you while I’m doing a keg stand).

I know what you’re thinking… “Great, just what we need. Another Sims.” And you’re right.

Back before Electronic Arts controlled The Sims franchise, it was just little Maxis, and they developed good software about building cities. Now they have unleashed The Sims on Stage karaoke site. And as a twice-daily singer of karaoke, this sickens me.

Get off the couch and into the pubs, folks. The REAL singing is just down the street at your local karaoke bar or VFW hall. It seems Robert Putnam’s theory on civic engagement even applies to the communication art form of karaoke. A collective withdraw of talented singers… simply looking to tune out, drop acid, and sing to their webcams.

Another sad day. I hate you Electronic Arts.

Any thoughts?

Karaoke Kenny, the DJ who runs the karaoke nights at Fiesta Cantina and East West in West Hollywood has released his latest song books on the web. Dig in yodelers! This is your chance to pick out your karaoke songs ahead of time, practice, practice, practice, and then head on down to the LA westside’s very own American Idol-like karaoke competition. Karaoke with Kenny is serious stuff, so don’t get too many delusions of grandeur… you’ll get ripped apart up there by Aretha Franklin wanna-be’s and better-than-Tom-Jones Tom Jones wanna-be’s.

Check out the song book HERE. And if his site is down, you can find the karaoke songs here. Love that.

Bobby Karaoke is now the proud owner of the number one slot in Google for the key-phrase “karaoke is life”.

Mad props, team. KEEP UP THE GOOD SEO!

Love,
Uncle Bobby K.

Check out the hottest new karaoke forums on the web before we allow the rest of the world access…

The Bobby K Community will give our users a voice to share their karaoke experiences, party pics, and maybe even toss around some good ole fashion trash talk. This is YOUR community, folks, so take care of it. As we all know, with great singing, comes great responsibility… but a few of us may be less familiar with the idea that with great first amendment freedoms, comes great responsibility.

Karaoke is life!

The Herald Times is reporting that Delta Dawn & The Karaoke Cowboy have that announced that Fond du Lac resident Chelly Pittenger will be their finalist in the 2007 Karaoke Battle of the Bars competition!

The event will be held at Manitowoc County Fair on Sunday August 26, 2007 - bring your ears…because word on the street is that Chelly can sing.

I’ll be the gentleman in the back wearing the seersucker suit and drinking a wild turkey. At 7 p.m., I have agreed to be the keynote speaker/winner announcer. Expect a drunken, long-winded lecture on the power of karaoke in American society and the responsibility that comes with it.

Karaoke is life.

This is a travel alert for any karaoke enthusiasts planning a trip to the upcoming International Karaoke Semi-Finals in Beijing:

Get a bullet proof vest, a bomb proof rental car, and use the buddy system (i.e. tell friends where you will be going at ALL times). Folks, it is going to be absolutely friggin dangerous this year - this ain’t no Lucy in the sky with diamonds. This is real life karaoke, and the competition will be stiff and heavily armed. Need I remind ya’all of Sammy “Two Chords” Rachollio’s stabbing last year? That will be nothing compared to the anticipated level of violence at this year’s semi-finals.

It seems that karaoke-related violence has seriously escalated in recent months in the far east (as our previous coverage can attest). The Washington Post is reporting that more than two dozen people will stand trial on accusations that they purchased and stored explosives in a karaoke parlor leveled last month in a blast.

Look, I’m not trying to rain on anyone’s parade here. I’m just saying be safe.
