Carpool Karaoke; Happy Tunes For Your Car - DirectAsia.Com

title

If you’ve been camping at West Coast Park lately, chances are someone was belting out Bo Jovi’s Livin’ On A Prayer at 10 am on a Sunday morning. Why? The question is, why not?

Karaoke is our chance to throw caution to the wind, and make believe we are on that stage with 10,000 fans going wild.

Popular wisdom states that karaoke was the brain-child of a Japanese bar owner, whose band failed to show up for the show that night. The clever owner put on some funky tunes and let his customers add their own vocals. We don’t know if it’s true, but who cares? Karaoke is a great way to sing yourself happy.
