I went over to a buddy's house and he has this Karioki machine thingy that he hooked up to his tv. It's simply a large microphone with a small keypad and three coax leads that you plug into the video in, and the audio left and right inputs.
It has a little book that had song codes that you punch in. The music starts and they count down and then the words come across the tv plus some background images. The music sounds like K-Tel or muzak or Troys' homemade stuff, very synthetic and kind of cheesy. Plus some songs they don't follow the flow of the song properly, but mostly they did.
Well after a few beers I was into it. I was "singing" my ass off, my throat hurts a little today. This thing "rates" your singing when you are done, I got high 90's on every toon! It was way fun.
I sang Smoke on the water, Highway Star, Heart of Gold, Yellow Submarine, and several others.
Loads of fun, I had never done anything like this.
Any of ya'll ever done this?
