ok, i gots some time. here's the crunk tuesday report.
arrive at bar a little early...6:30...cause wife wants a table to sit at instead of sitting at the bar. there are already 3 big groups there with tables pushed together. one birthday party, one after work party, and one party for a couple of ladies that are going to hawaii on thursday. so there are already like 30 people in there. karaoke doesnt start till around 730 or 8, and these people are already getting hyped. i sit with the wife and get a beer and out friends start showing up.
first guy sings some country song...meh. my wife sings "my angel is a centerfold" next. when she finishes the karaoke guy asks who wants to sing. this blonde lady points to me, and says...."its his turn....we wanna hear him!". i politely decline saying i havent had enough to drink. this prompts the blonde to buy me a beer.
later into the night, our table is filling up, and i move to the bar so this chick can have my seat. im sitting beside the birthday table, which the blonde is sitting at. im sitting there drinking my beer and watching the others sing, when, from the birthday table, i hear "OH, HE CAN SING THOSE SONGS...HE"S AWESOME!!!". i look around to see who they are talking about and they are pointing at me. the blonde, and some guy, who i assume is her BF call me over and this other lady asks if i know Funky Cold Medina, or Baby Got Back. i say i know both of them. she proceeds to tell me that her daughter used to sing karaoke and those were her 2 favorite songs. i figure out later that her daughter had died like a year ago. i tell her, ill do both of them for her, all the while the rest of the table is bragging about how good i am.
by the time dude calls my name, there are about 60 people in this little bar, barely room to move around. he calls my name and the birthday table, and our table, goes nuts. so i rock out with a little tone-loc. i get back to my seat at the bar, and there is another beer waiting for me. this one from the other lady.
somewhere around this time WSW? calls and gets to hear my wife do Jenny 867-5309. it was 80's night for her.
ok, later my name is called again, more screams and cheers. i break into Sir Mix-Alot, and chicks start flooding the area around me. like 8 or 10 of them, all dancing around me and up on me. blonde lady was like humping my leg or something. the lady that requested the songs is loving it. her husband is loving it. made me feel pretty good.
after that song, i dont think i bought another beer. lady and her husband pretty much payed my tab.
then as im headed to the bathroom, the hawaii party table calls me over and asks if i know and George Strait. i pretty much bust out laughing, so this other lady suggests Vanilla Ice. i tell her i might can pull that off. (my manager didnt consult me beforehand, so i felt i could pull it back out after a 2 week lay-off) i get back to my seat at the bar, and the husband and wife are getting ready to leave. i say "you cant leave yet, im doing vanilla ice next". she say, o hman thats another one of my daughter's favorites. the husband says something about leaving for sexytime or a BJ or something, and the wife says, please, youre not getting that. so, they decide to stay and hear me sing again. this time the lady say something about me not really knowing it, and ill probably be just mouthing the words. the gauntlet was thrown down. i say "ok, heres the deal, if i get up there and dont miss a single word, you owe hubby here a BJ when you get home". she agrees and the guy is as happy as he can be. by the time i get up there to sing, i think most of the bar knows about the deal, and its crazy.
1st verse - flowin and rhymin like vanilla himself......i give hubby the thumbs up and tell him "thats 1 out of 3"
2nd verse - killed it.....people are dancing everywhere. hubby is high-fiving everyone. i say "thats 2 out of 3.....i think we got this." wife is lovin it.
3rd verse - no problems there either. word to ya motha! now go home and get your reward!
after that song the bar was more crunk than ive ever seen it. its like 11 by now, and im still getting free drinks. then, i see the gray-eyed girl walk in.......
to be continued.
part II to come later.
