I sang "Electrical Storm" at karaoke last night and.......

It got a very good response from the crowd!

I'm not sure if it was because they thought the song was good, or if it was because I looked really good in my black, button down shirt.

But I think the crowd full of "Non-U2 Fans" really dug the song.

This may be a huge hit folks!

You were??????

Damn! I haven't been working much lately because I've been teaching tennis 8 hours a day.

That's awesome! Man, I would have LOVED to have seen that. I myself never have been able to work up the nerve to do karaoke.

Good to know people were digging the new song.

And I'm sure you looked very nice in your black button down shirt.

YES!

I was at Bay Park, and I saw Lissa at Payless, and she said, "Mike works at Journeys...go see if he's around!" So I got all excited and went over to Journeys, and you weren't there.

Wanker...

DOH! What day was it?

One funny thing about last night, there was some crazy U2 fan there that doesn't have internet access, so she didn't know that there was a new single.

Let's just say she went a little "bonkers" after she heard the song.

Hmmm..."bonkers" having anything to do with "having a bonk" reference?

I didn't know that the bars in US are this fast with getting new karaoke songs. Wow.

Oh! Actually I just brought my burned CD in and sang over Bono. So I had a somewhat decent singer backing me up in case I had forgotten the lyrics.

Cool story mikal

I usually sing E-Storm here at work, past 6 pm, when the audience is smaller

LarryMullen's POPAngel · 08-30-2002, 11:43 PM

Cool!

Hey, when you're a big rock star you'll remember us little people who you met along the way, right?

what a bomb! · 08-31-2002, 09:23 AM

I can't wait for our karaoke DJ to get E-Storm! I know it off by heart already! lol When I was at karaoke on Thursday night I had two complete strangers asking me to do With Or Without You again as they heard me do it before and said I do it brilliantly! lol I think I'm a crap singer but everytime i sing a U2 song I get compliments or my hand shaken by strangers, so I must be doing something right! lol
