PROMPT July 5th

You’re out with friends for the evening and have ended up at a Karaoke Bar. You’ve all agreed you will sing at least one song. What song will you sing? Why that one?

This prompt reminded me of a time when a friend, my husband and I were on a backpacking holiday around Thailand and Malaysia. We were in Georgetown in Penang and wandered into a Karaoke place.
The whole establishment was Chinese. They were singing karaoke in Chinese. We stuck out like sore thumbs. Three sixty-year old white Australians.
After a few drinks and listening to lots of songs in a language we didn’t understand, I asked the DJ if he had any English language songs. He looked delighted and after a while he gave me the thumbs up. My friend had said she’d sing with me but when we got called up to sing 🎤 she said she’d changed her mind!
Anyway I was really mad at her and marched on to the stage and started to sing. My husband must have felt sorry for me and came and joined me. He must have been drunk as he doesn’t sing at all!
Anyway we sang Elvis’s song ‘. ‘Are you lonesome tonight’ and got a standing ovation.
