VIDEOKE IS MY MIDDLE NAME

Less than a week after the crazy videoke party, I found myself in the midst of another one, this time with my orgmates from college. And while I was with a different set of people this time, I realized that there was a pattern with the way we do videoke.

There are a couple of rules to do drunken videoke properly:

1. Rent a private room.

2. Ban the real singers from joining.

3. Look for Bone Thugs N Harmony's Tha Crossroads in the playlist. If they have it, attempt to sing it. If they don't have the song, mope.

4. Drink—get tipsy but not entirely drunk.

5. Key in boyband classics and Spice Girls songs.

6. Despite your mates begging to do otherwise, sing Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody.

7. Sound like the Bee Gees or The Undertaker. Sing using a too-high or too-low octave.

8. Keep a high level of schizophrenia with the song choices. Confusion is good when you sing a Coldplay song after Frank Sinatra's.

9. Sing louder when the attendant calls you on the phone to tell you that your three hours are up. It's better if you sing Living on a Prayer during this part.

10. Beg to do one last song before they kick you out.
