Karioke?

I had this song stuck in my head all morning.

'karaoke' unless there's some sort of pun here i'm missing

I thought it was pretty cool, but "Karioke"?

I generally despise the spelling and grammar nazi attitude, but karioke is just about the most interesting way I have seen it spelled wrong.

But whatever, what I want to know is why these T-Mobile things are such a big hit. I am still trying to figure out if they are annoying or if I am indifferent. I know that it falls somewhere between the two for me.

Call me a sucker, but I got teary during that. Random people having one genuinely happy, one-take experience. Fantastic.

My apologies. I had no idea how to spell karaoke, but I have it fixed now.

This made me happier than a bird with a french fry. Thanks for that. One of my fondest memories is singing Hey Jude karaoke at a mall in the Philippines, and the karaoke dj deciding to put it on the loudspeakers, and everyone joining in with me once the "na na na na-na-na-na" part came in.

Was that Pink?

Yes, it WAS Pink!

Why are we afraid of each other when this can happen.

Why can't we have this in every city at Noon (12:00)?

I would bet my Soul that War would be a demise of itself.

Too bad that it was sponsored by T-Mobile and not a 'grass root' movement...

Still, Humanity has potential!

I'm not too proud to admit that I quietly sang along.

A similar singalong-with-karaoke occurred in Trafalgar Square two years ago and set a Guiness record for the world's largest coconut orchestra
