Buffalo Trace and Adam Sandler's At a Medium Pace on karaoke.
Good stuff. I love karaoke. I even help run it.
Sunday's karaoke was fucked when I went. I agreed to run it all night for the guy in exchange for beers, so I was sitting at the computer slamming free beers and singing once every rotation also.
Well, lo and behold, halfway through the night, one of the really mouthy karaoke divas was there; starts trying to get me to bump her up in the rotation because "I need to sing this song now, it played at my father's funeral today; I just buried my dad and everyone at my table wants to hear it." I politely tell her sorry, I can't bump you up, it's not fair to the ten people above you in the rotation, you can sing when you're next up and no sooner. She says "I'm leaving soon, I can't stay that long". Again I say sorry, but no. So she goes to the owner of the equipment and bugs him, he tells her no as well. Owner of the equipment comes up to me and says if she gives me a hard time again, I have free reign to tell her to find somewhere else to sing from now on.
Then, six songs in, I'm up. I sing Slayer - Raining Blood. I can hear her bitching about "they won't let me sing but he can sing this fucking shit? This stuff is shit." Blah blah blah.
When she eventually was up, she sings her song. When she is done, I tell her outright "listen. You need to understand there are rules here, and you need to wait your turn just like anyone else. Throwing a tantrum, and mouthing about people's songs - yes I heard you - doesn't fly here. Keep it up and I won't allow you to sing here anymore."
She looked at me stunned, then walked off pissed to her table. She ended up staying the rest of the night. So not only was she mouthy, she outright lied to my face, about having to leave, so I'd bump her up in the rotation. Lol.
I wonder if all karaokes have prissy divas like that, or just the one in my area, lmao.
