Karaoke

When two bizarre Internet sensations come together, it can be truly diabolical. To wit: The "Chocolate Rain" deluge meets the Rick-rollin' downpour in a perfect storm of music and viral videos. This recording of Tay Zonday covering "Never Gonna Give You Up" makes me think Tay should do an entire Rick Astley tribute album, stat.

• You Ain't No Picasso wants to know: What's the first song you listened to in 2008?

A schoolteacher was working after hours and thought she was the last person in the building. Imagine her surprise when she heard, "You're in the jungle baby. You're gonna die!" over the loudspeaker. Not much of a Guns n' Roses fan, she took the death threat seriously. Six troopers and three police dogs later, they all discovered that the school custodian was having a karaoke moment with a couple of buddies — just partying like rock stars, you know?

Start your karaoke engines people, because Sony has just announced that Singstar will be going on sale in the US starting November 13th. Thanks to the gaming gurus at Kotaku, this announcement paired with the release of a partial playlist is guaranteed to get wannabe singers all over the U.S warming up their USB powered mics. Seriously, what could be more fun than belting out your favorite songs off-key with a bunch of your gal pals?

Sugar Publishing is having a karaoke party to celebrate our move to a bigger office (yay!) and I hope it's as rockin' as this one (minus the coffin). Seriously, who among us could turn down a Journey song, no matter how badly we sing? I wouldn't even be ironic about my love for them. I'd just belt it out, baby! "I'm just a small town girl/Livin' in a lonely world..."

Yes, it's still Wedding Season, and if your mailbox full of invites is any indication, it's going to be a busy summer filled with fittings, dinners and my personal favorite, bachelorette parties. While we all know geeky bride and groom cakes are all the rage, word is geeky bachelorette parties are on the rise as well. No, you aren't required to wear your geekiest tee shirt, or bring your laptop, but many video-game-loving ladiez opt to plan video game tournaments, karaoke festivals and Dance Dance Revolution competitions - mixed with a few cocktails and yummy treats of course!

For my guide to making your bachelorette party (or your BFF's party) a little more geeky (and a lot more fun), read more

I've been crushing on Paul Rudd ever since Clueless. I mean, he's cute, he's funny, he can act, and — as I learned today — he can also rock some serious karaoke. On Friday night, Of Montreal played a show at Studio B in Brooklyn, and the band took a break for a bit of hipster karaoke. Rudd was there, and he and David Wain (Wet Hot American Summer, "The State") treated the crowd to a rollicking rendition of Boston's "More Than a Feeling."

Idolator graciously posted a video of the performance, which is pretty hilarious and also not half bad. I highly recommend you check it out, so read more

Karaoke soars to new heights (or sinks to new depths) when Garth takes charge of his love life by mouthing the song "Foxy Lady" to his crush in a crowded diner. Sadly, the performance was only a figment of his imagination. (Who wears thick, black prescription eye-wear in their wildest fantasies?) The choreography, however, is the stuff that dreams are made of. And by dreams I mean nightmares.

It's Thursday night, aka. karaoke night, and our German correspondent theotherhalfofme is hitting the town for some Karaoke! All I want to know is where, what time and will there be sushi?!

She wanted to put a look together that could take her from the office to an evening out. Here's what this stylish karaoke queen is wearing:

• White Shirt: Dad's - she's had it since the 70's and doesn't even think he's noticed it's gone!
• Pants: H&M
• Belt: Vero Moda
• Shoes: Akira

Congrats theotherhalfofme!
