Crash Course Karaoke!: WELCOME BACK ALAN!!!!!!!!!!!

The Blogstress, & 'Trooper' Ted

Yay!!!!!!!! Alan, who was like Bo Diddley, sittin' in the back corner, playin' guitar, singin' backup vocals, and even cue-ing us (ok me,) in!

"Welcome Back..." Alan!

We're glad to have the full band, (& the full list) back!!!

"Captain America"

Bran-DONE/"Captain America" was the host Sunday night! Bobby Rappaport started us off with "Let It Roll"; Davey Monster sang "Casey Jones"; Rockin' Robin sang

"I Hate Myself for Lovin' You";

and the youngest singer ever to appear at Crash Course was DanniMac's 7 yr. old nephew Ryan, who rocked "Hot and Cold"!

John D. rocked out "Hard to Handle" by the Black Crows ("CAW! CAW!...) Mrs. D. belted out "Summertime";

Marky Mark sang some "Folsom Prison Blues"; I took a page out of Ryan's songbook and sang "Dani California"; and 'Trooper' Ted sang "You Are So Beautiful" - Randy Andy, and the blogstress were 'dukin' it out, to see who that was meant for...shucks..., though don't think it was either.... (sigh)...

Corey Lim, who's doing a set w/Crash Course next Sun. at 7:00pm at Kenny's, was "Just A Girl"; Dylan gave us "Wonderwall";

Edgar ('Mr. Songbook's', Joe Chicarelli's doppleganger') sang "Mr. Brightside";

and Ron K. asked us 'how does it feel...?' "Like a Rolling Stone".

Kristie Lee's hubby Ted, brought the fam...

Josh, rocked out "Enter Sandman",

while Jared played w/his cool toys!

Cool Toys

Mo crooned with "Give Me One Reason"; Brandon & Friends sang "Crazy Little Thing Called Love"; Rockstar Richard sang "Sympathy for the Devil"; Colin crooned "Let's Stay Together"; and 'Don't Forget the Lyrics Winner' Mark, belted "Surrender".

"Brandon & Friends"

And for the first time in the history of Crash Course Karaoke...

CCK 'Wild Card'!

That's right, it was the first Wild Card ever! Showtime Shon was the first to pick a 'card', and his song was "New York, New York", which he brought the house down with! Rockin' Robin and I channeled the Rockettes, and were kickin' our legs up and dancin' like it was opening night at Radio City Music Hall!

Bobby Rappaport kept the energy goin' with "Hotel California"; DanniMac, assisted by John D., sang "Man on the Moon"; Gary and Pete, Brandon's friends from Long Island sang "Shout"; Michelle sang "Mr. Jones and Me", this time by the COUNTING Crows ("CAW!").

Erica crooned "Preacher Man"; Brandon & 'Trooper' Ted sang "Lean On Me";

John D. sang "Come Together"; Sue from L.I. sang some Pink; Oscar belted some Led Zepplin; Leah sang "A Little Piece of My Heart"; and someone who's name I didn't get ROCKED OUT "Like the Way I Do"!

And then it was my turn to do CCK Wild Card! I picked the Ace of Spades, which I may have been swayed by John D. earlier:

JOHN D.

"PSST!!!"

KRISTINA

(looks around)
"Me?"

JOHN D.

"Hey! So I have an idea of what one of the Wild Card songs is."

KRISTINA

"Oh yeah? What?"

JOHN D.

"I think one of 'em is 'Ace of Spades'?

KRISTINA

"Really? How do you know?"

JOHN D.

"You can see it from here -- look..."

KRISTINA
"Ace of Spades? Really? Is that on the list?"

JOHN D.
(GUFFAWS of laughter!!!!)
"It's NOT on the list, I KNOW that's the actual 'Ace of Spades' card!"

HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!!!!

So, what did I pick for my Wild Card? The 'Ace of Spades'! (The 'card')

"Please let me get a good one...please let me get a good one..."

And what's the song? Drumroll please... Alicia Keys?!!! Could there BE any other song completely in another range?

KRISTIE LEE
"That's why it's called "Crash Course."

"Oh, Oh...
NNNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!"

Hey, so, who's idea was this?!

Anyway, I sang it, it was sung, and that's that. Always up for a challenge yo, and that's what it was. Mo was the next and last singer to try Wild Card, and chose "Oops I Did It Again"! Oh, I SO coulda done THAT! Anyway, he was a champ, and pulled it off. I say we give a hand to us three brave (or drunk) souls, who chose the Wild Card!!!

Ashley sang some Santana; Rockstar sang "White Wedding", and Kristie Lee closed out the night with "Time After Time."
