BUSTED TRIBUTE #2

BUSTED TRIBUTE #2

How to judge how much a band affects ones life? How about the medium of karaoke?

I like karaoke. I rather like flicking through the big book and picking whatever takes my fancy at that moment. I do not have standards that I always do, not any more. Where is the fun in that.

EVERY KARAOKE NIGHT I HAVE BEEN TO SINCE SUMMER 2002 I HAVE SUNG A BUSTED SONG*

What I Go To School For is tremendous fun to sing. It is tremendous fun just to read, but straining for the notes and the three-in-one harmonies can easily be sung by one person. Year 3000 is even sillier (and has my name in it). You Said No allows a decent shouty rant bit as well. And of course the most karaoke friendly dance move is the Busted jump, you are literally staying on the spot.

I have never sung Thunderbirds Are Go! I need a karaoke night now to commiserate.
Buh-bye Busted!

*Except for the one in New York, and now that there Americee will never have the chance to fall for the ‘Sted.
