Thinking big about karaoke. Democratizing tools, breaking rules.

If you use don’t have Adblock Plus, you should get it, it’s awesome.
My friends were opening a store. Karaoke instrumentals work great as ambient music, and being a DJ is much easier because without vocals and with a similar (and pleasantly generic) production style, songs fit together really easy.
Like, there are tons of songs a DJ could never play back to back, but it works fine with the karaoke versions. Then things got singy.
Those little rectangles in the bottom right are field recordings of Brazilian kids singing! Soon, soon!
Via Wayne: amazing kid version of “Don’t Matter”. Fight for your right to repurpose.
BTW: once when I was in Trinidad I jumped in on somebody elses’s rendition of this (he was down) and did Remix to Ignition and Wyclef – Stripper Song (”Just cause she dance the go go…”). Super fun, you should try it.
I’d like to see somebody do either one of these at a karaoke night.
The instrumental for this one is easy to get. It would be hilarious, and cute!
Thanks Wayne!
“Detest bad music but do not despise it. As it is played, and especially sung, much more passionately than good music, it has much more than the latter been impregnated, little by little, with man’s tears. Hold it therefore in veneration. It’s place, nonexistent in the history of art, is immense in the sentimental history of nations”. – Marcel Proust
