[Dixielandjazz] Oh Holy Night

Referring to the song as heard at this website posted on DJML earlier 
(and sent out by Bob Ringwald as his email "Holiday Card"' ),  I am 
leaning towards the notion that this is merely a typical Karaoke singer 
in one  of his most glorious moments.

Karaoke singers - -  -now there is definitely a breed apart from all 
normal members of society.  I would actually label them, based upon 
their unbridled support of one another, a cult.  Cheaper than going to 
a comedy club is going out for an evening of listening to Karaoke 
singers . . . definitely a laugh a minute, but take along some Tylenol 
for the pain. Darvocet if you have it.

In order to keep my trumpet and reading chops in shape I have been 
playing weekly with a big band.  The leader has brought in a male and 
female singer which he got from a club where they perform Karaoke.  
Here is what I've noticed about both of them . . . they never land on 
the first beat of a measure! !  , , and thus are always just a little 
"off" of where they should be,  which is slightly disconcerting (  "not 
in concert").

My theory is that they have spent so much time reading monitors where 
the words pop up for them to sing, that when they don't have the 
monitors, their brains are constantly lagging behind as they wait for 
the words to appear.   They suffer from "non-monitor shock", having to 
use their own brains, which are already tragically impaired from the 
many weeks of Karaoke, causing their synapses to become slowed down to 
the level of blithering idiots.  Following the addition of these 
"singers", I have been trying to purchase illegal drugs.

I am convinced that dedicated Karaoke singers all drink downstream from 
the herd, and did you know that the term Karaoke is named after a girl 
named Kara from the State of Oklahoma?
