After that conversation with my sister (see post below), I need another one of those nights where I crank up the iPod, sing, and dance around my house like no one can hear or see me. I actually have not had one of those since I wrote that post last month about doing the lambada while I dusted. I think the realization that the neighbors can hear me verbally strangling a cat singing put a bit of a damper on Careless Karaoke. However, given the amount of trash that I've had to pick out of my yard or kick back into someone else's this week, I think it's time for a little musical payback. I'm just trying to think of what would be even more annoying than the Divynls "I Touch Myself." Maybe all 100 rounds of "100 Bottles of Beer on the Wall?" "We All Live on a Yellow Submarine"? "I'm a Little Teapot"? I don't know. I think that all of those songs would annoy me so much that I would stop singing them before I even got to the chorus. If you have any good ideas, please leave them in the comments below. I can always put off Careless Karaoke until tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, if you can sing, you should check out PopStation.com. It's currently sponsoring a contest called the Big Deal for singers with real talent, as opposed to singers like me who just want to annoy their neighbors. Every week PopStation releases an original PopStation song in each genre of music and makes the song available to you in one of its practice rooms. If you like the song and want to record it, you go into the practice room; rehearse the song using the lyric sheets, demos, backtracks, and videos that PopStation gives you; download the instrumental version of the song and the PopStation Studio when you're ready to record; record your take as an MP3 file; upload it to PopStation; and enter the contest. If your song wins the Big Deal, you'll spend three nights in a luxury New York hotel and two days in a New York recording studio recording an album. That could very well be the foot in the music world's door that you need.
The contest just reminded me of my sister since she has this t-shirt that says, "I'm kind of a big deal." Well, she got the big part right. (Yes, I'm feeling mean today.) Maybe I need a good song to sing around her, too. Right now the only thing I can think of is "The Devil Went Down to Georgia." It's not exactly annoying, but it is accurate.
