ellyssianLast night was an eighties set, because I planned it hoping Doug would be there to partake in (mostly) eighties pop type stuff.
First up, the closest thing to rock (from the planned stuff!), Powerstation's "Some Like It Hot". I think I did okay, but I had the unexpected pleasure (ahem) of having Robert Palmer join me for a duet. Not quite what I expected, and it threw me a little when I realized no, that's not just a backing vocal. So it was more of a sing-along than karaoke, but I still had fun.
Next up, was "Need You Tonight" by INXS. Had fun with that, but not really sure how well I pulled it off.
Duran Duran's "Hungry Like The Wolf" wrapped up the pop portion of the set. I did pretty good on it, except for eating just prior to singing and having a very short solo (5 bars!) in which to try to grab a sip. Missed the first line and a half coming back into it, but I think the vocals were much better for that quick drink.
I had one more pop tune lined up, but I didn't get a chance to even listen to it all the way through, let alone try it out once, so I skipped that, and had Tracey put in Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator" (think that was the first time I sang it ~ nailed it!) and then Deep Purple's "Hush" to wrap things up.
