In Japanese, Karaoke means empty orchestra. In English, it means public discomfiture set to music. Whatever definition you follow, there is an outlet for you. A guy from my hometown of Kansas City has combined two of my favorite things; drinking and Karaoke! I can not tell you how many times I have gone out with friends only to be disappointed when no one else wants to go do Karaoke. You see, there was a time in my life when I was known as "Carie-Okie" and it had nothing to do with Oklahoma. Now Cabaroke forces my friends to do what I only dream of!Papa Bear, of Yellow Cab, offers a Karaoke screen in his cab with a number of songs from which to choose. You can then view the videos on the website to lament about how silly (drunk) you look. I think it would be fun to see the same group progress through the evening in song. How bad would they get?
The beauty of Cabaroke is the only one subjected to listening to all the singers is Papa Bear, and he is getting paid so I am sure he can be forgiving. Think about those poor souls at the bar that have to listen to all the bad to hear one good. I guess it is like the kissing lots of frogs to get to the prince thing.
The next time I am in KC and need a cab, I know who I am calling. Safety and fun all in one.

That's it. I'm going to KC tonite and get drunk just so I can call this guy.
This might be the most frightening thing I've heard in weeks...

I am heading over there for some laughs.. thanks for sharing..
I LOVE karaoke! We pay a guy to bring his equipment to our block party every year, and there is no shortage of folks wanting to sing. Unfortunately, not everyone is...uh....gifted in singing; sometimes it's downright painful! Good thing the drunk ones usually pass out early.... haha
