This here mix gathers together EVERY track I have ever attempted to sing in a Karaoke bar. No ommisions, they're all here!

1) My first attempt at Karaoke, certainly in public was performing this, about 13 years ago. I rocked!

3) This one's my most frequent choice. I'm not a huge 'Lee Roth' fan, but after a few drinks I seem to feel the need to belt this one out.

5) My only attempt at 'Doing a crooner'. It will be my last for a certain amount of time. Mark my words.

6) I couldn't reach the high notes.

7) I couldn't reach the low notes.

11) Carried this one off quite well surprisingly. I could barely stand at the time if I remember!

12) & 13) Even a 5 year old could tell you performing these is inadvisable.

15) Aah, now I enjoyed singing this one. I was at a works leaving do. Even the blank expressions on the faces of the under twentys in the bar wasn't gonna put me off.

16) Horrific. My worst ever. I died on my arse, really and truly. Walking off the stage to a ripple of polite applause was absolutely soul destroying. 'I Will Survive' I thought to myself. That's what I'll do next time.

The final track was my most recent attempt, about a month ago. My fiance, Vicki chirped 'Let's Do Summer Lovin', she always gets song titles wrong. 'Absolutely Not' was my immediate reply. She put our name down behind my back anyway. My heart sank as our names were called out. We were terrible, the crowd loved us!

So, there we have it. I'm already thinking of my next time on the stage and which song to sing. Now, what's that nice Enrique song about being a hero.....

NB - This mix was submitted on Feb 15th 2006. I've not sang a karaoke song since...
