The word karaoke comes from the Japanese words ‘kara’ meaning ’empty’ and ‘oke’ meaning ‘orchestra’. It first became popular in English in 1979
Karaoke is a Japanese word that refers to a performance in which a person sings along with recorded music. It’s a popular form of entertainment at restaurants and clubs: amateur singers choose their favourite well-known song to sing and then perform it for the crowd.
I can almost hear my mother
Callin’, “Neil, go find your brother
Daddy’s home, and it’s time for supper
Hurry on”
And I see two boys
Racin’ up two flights of staircase
Squirmin’ into Papa’s embrace
And his whiskers warm on their face
Where’s it gone
Oh, where’s it gone
First door on the right
Life filled to the brim
As I stood by my window
And I looked out of those
Brooklyn Roads
The smells of cookin’ in the hallways
Rubbers drying in the doorways
And report cards I was always
Afraid to show
And as I’d sit there softly crying
Teacher’d say, “He’s just not trying
He’s got a good head if he’d apply it”
But you know yourself
It’s always somewhere else
With dragons and kings
And I’d ride off with them
As I stood by my window
And looked out on those
Brooklyn Roads
But all I’d see are stranger’s faces
And all the scars that love erases
But as my mind walks through thoses places
I’m wonderin’
What’s come of them
Come home to my room
Does he dream what I did
As he stands by my window
And looks out on those
Brooklyn Roads

5 Tips for Singing Karaoke
Here are some other things to keep in mind about how to have a successful karaoke night:
Warm up your voice before singing so you can really hit those high notes! Follow along with this quick video on vocal warm ups for singers.
Look confident. Start with a smile and with your feet planted shoulder width apart. Make no apologies for being on that stage!
Pick a song you really know so you’re not always having to look at the lyrics on the screen. Don’t forget you have an audience that wants you to sing to them!
Use good vocal technique. Breathe low, and keep your sound placed in your mask rather than shouting into the microphone.
Practice at home! YouTube has many excellent channels, such as KaraFun, that can help you practice.
