There are always certain songs that will be sung at a karaoke bar, like "Sweet Caroline" and "Me and Bobby McGee." This is just one of the unstated rules which govern karaoke bars in this country. However, after a horrifying experience last night, I believe it is time to explicitly state one of the unstated laws:
SOME SONGS MAY ONLY BE SUNG BY WOMEN.
Let's be honest. A girl can sing whatever song she feels like, particularly if she is both attractive and drunk. She can give Led Zepplin her best shot, and more power to her.
But this freedom does not work both ways. There are some songs that men should just never attempt. It doesn't matter if you think you'll score some points with the girl you came with by singing her favorite. You really won't.
Last night's example: Madonna's "Like A Prayer." Huge No-No. It was traumatizing. He didn't even try to sing it like a woman. It was a baritone voice singing Madonna lyrics. And that's just wrong.
