I came up with this idea before I went to sleep about two days ago, and I want to have some fun, so why not? The idea: themed karaoke playlists! I put down a theme, and I make a “playlist” to perform for karaoke. I’ll provide some subtext to each song, so each song can have its own flavor in the theme. These playlists are meant to be performed in a karaoke setting, so keep that in mind. It’s a funny trip to think about it to sing for different groups of people (i.e. friends vs. coworkers, or one certain group of friends vs. another group of friends). I think the minimum per playlist would be about five songs and just so long as it fits in the theme, that is a playlist. I think that’s enough yammering, let’s get vocal!
