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.
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
Day after day
Your whole life’s a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I’m sick of not living
Just stayin’ alive
Leave me alone
I’m not asking a lot
Just don’t want to be controlled
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
How many times is it gonna take
Before someone around you hears what you say
You try being cool
You feel like a lie
You’ve played by the rules
Now it’s their turn to try
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I’m sick of not living
Just stayin’ alive
Leave me alone
I’m not asking a lot
Just don’t want to be controlled
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
I’ve said it before
I’ll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I’m sick of not living
Just stayin’ alive
Leave me alone
I’m not asking a lot
Just don’t want to be controlled
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
It’s all I want
Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
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.
