Ultimate Karaoke - 10 Commandments of Karaoke (version 1, 1993)
Karaoke Ten Commandments
Commandment #1 - Thou shall not walk in front of the monitor when someone else
is singing. It is extremely distracting and very rude.
"I Should Have Known Better!"
Commandment #2 - Thou shall always applaud for every singer. Someday you may be up
there. (R-E-S-P-E-C-T)
Commandment #3 - Thou shall not sing back-up for someone unless they specifically
ask you to. We do not need "A Little Help From Our Friends!"
Commandment #4 - Thou shall not ask the KJ if you can sing out of turn just
because you've got "Leaving On Your Mind"
Commandment #5 - Thou shall not continuously ask the KJ when it will be your
turn to sing. ("Enough is Enough")
Commandment #6 - Thou shall not change your tune once you get on stage and it is
all keyed up. Just "Let It Be!"
Commandment #7 - Thou shall not go to karaoke and just drink water. Support your
local karaoke establishment, who is paying for the entertainment,
by having just "Two More Bottles Of Wine"
Commandment #8 - Thou shall not be "Swingin" the microphone by the cord, nor
"Beat It" or drop it! Nor Shall one use the mike for
"Good Vibrations" or "Strokin!"
Commandment #9 - Thou shall not get up on stage to sing with a drink or cigarette
in hand. "Na, Na, Hey, Hey, Kiss Them Goodbye!"
Commandment #10 - Thou shall not try to take over the karaoke host just because your
parents or friends are in town. Go to a studio and make a
recording if they want to hear "Only You!"
