the karaoke experience

Despite my now-frequent visits to Taiwan, I have yet to do what is oft considered an initiation rite here, besides being a common leisure activity: sing at a KTV. But I did finally visit one last night, as part of fellow blogger Holly's birthday party. I still didn't sing (the only time I've publicly sang karaoke was during my biology study abroad program, during our last night on the Cayman Islands), but it was fairly interesting, and I got to experience both truly amazing voices, as well as...some of lesser talent.

But who cares, it's karaoke, after all. Though because I didn't have any ID on me, I had to leave the KTV at 11:30 due to their new regulations. I guess I should take it as a compliment that they don't think I'm at least 18 years old?

Here's one song that was sung that I thought was pretty cute:

對面的女孩看過來 (任賢齊)



lyrics:

對面的女孩看過來
看過來　看過來
這裡的表演很精采
請不要假裝不理不采

對面的女孩看過來
看過來　看過來
不要被我的樣子嚇壞
其實我很可愛

寂寞男孩的悲哀
說出來　誰明白
求求你拋個媚眼過來
哄哄我逗我樂開懷
(哈哈哈... 沒人理我, 哈)

我左看右看上看下看
原來每個女孩都不簡單
我想了又想　我猜了又猜
女孩們的心事它真奇怪

寂寞男孩的蒼蠅拍
左拍拍　右拍拍
為什麼還是沒人來愛
無人問津　真無奈

對面的女孩看過來
看過來　看過來
寂寞男孩情竇初開
需要你給我一點愛

(哎... 算了, 回家把)
