text: You did not hear it through the grapevineyou heard it straight from the horses mouth DO NOT GO HERE FOR KARAOKE Go for people watching if anything I should have known when I called ahead The sweet girl on the phone gave us directions All of my friends were adamant about other places and I was rooting for the nice bartender and the possibility of a songnnWhen we arrived the place was packed Yet she still knew I was the one who called very Children of the Corn I immediately at put songs in I said you can just pick one if it fits your lineup Hoping they would call me and then one of the people I strung along would add a song innnThis did not happen nnWhile we each had drinks and songs played yes I counted them Not one persons name was EVER called It was like a disc CD was playing and they already knew who was next nnIf you are new and you are going here to sing Wait to be disappointed It is so weird Not like a cool dive bar weird but like a scripted twilight zone that you will never be a part of weird nnThis bar does not need you They have a following that will always be there Lesbian softball chicks older divorcees old country dudes and those women who debated on wearing their scrunchees that dude with dreads that sings the lamest song from the s soda shopamongst others nnAnd you will still wait But the CRAZIEST thing is that a name will never be called out It is like a disc set is playing Before you know it someone else has the mic in their hand because it is their turn nnI heard a woman singing Jeff Buckleys hallelujah which is not a very popular song But once I saw every demographic in the place singing it word for word I knew This was not a place to be reckoned with You do not see a year old man singing that song unless they sing it so much you learn it And that is what happens It is a CD on rotationnnAND YOU DO NOT PLAY A PART Go somewhere elsenn songs and you are not going to get called nnMy friend said to me jokingly go sit on Santas lap and ask for your song Not that I would have But it was humorous nnRegardless of naught or nice Santa will only play that song if he knows you have been coming there for years Less work Lazy DJ nnBut they do not need you so do not go
