Great idea. Crois for you. When I sing Creed songs, I find it helpful to constipate myself first. Maybe use the marble for that purpose instead, and avoid choking. |

Oh the humanity!... somebody get Scott Stapp some turbolax! |

"slow motion walter...fire engine guy"
(smoke on the water...fire in the sky) |

Why not use the International Phonetic Alphabet? |
|
| |
Because [juuitchan3] that would just be too sensible. |

I weally weally weally wanna zig a zig, ahhh. |

There's that great Diana Ross song, "Tell Eddie Waring there is no sal-vay-shun". |
|
| |
I think for this to really work you'd need unambiguous phonemes, which may make the Proclaimers song originally referred to quite hard to write... |

Who cares how the singer sings it? The goal of karaoke is not to perfectly copy a pop star's attempt at phrasing. |
|
| |
I was under the impression that it was. The one time I have done karaoke (on "holiday" in Japan), the karaoke machine gave a score based on how closely one's singing matched that on the original song. I got a very low score for my rendition of "U Can't touch This". |
|
| |
The other goal of karaoke (UK style) is to make a noise like someone is twisting your balls for three and a half minutes and then to stand there expecting applause. |
|
| |
I stand corrected (though I suspect the score was based more on being on-key than matching phonetics). Then again, I prefer piano bars to karaoke. |

thanks for fixing the link angel. My fave mondegreen was back in the folksinging days when a friend thought it was "are you going to start an affair" not Scarborough Fair! |

I thought that I was mis-hearing the lyrics to 'I Predict A Riot', until I looked up the lyrics. What kind of band uses 'lairy'? |
