PKs Karaoke World Record Attempt

[PK]

We thought about what time to start and settled on 7pm Thai time so that the first leg of the marathon would be at night (I think that's what the last guy did too). Either way my sleeping habits will be warped, but I think we can use the time differences between Thailand and the US to our advantage.

If I sleep most of Friday (wake up about 4-5pm) then I should be able to get through the first night ok, as long as there's a few people tuning in on the Internet. Once it's day time on Saturday then my internal daytime clock will kick in (hopefully) and the visitors coming and going from the ILC will help keep me awake, while the Internet audience is sleeping. Then, once it's Saturday night (Saturday morning in the US) it will be time to entertain the Internet audience again so hopefully they can push me through the final 12 hours.

It's funny you mention the Elvis hair. While designing it, I did searches for Elvis hair and glasses but couldn't find any that worked right.

Here's the temporary playlist again. Take a look and start deciding what song you want to request. We'll start the Request Topic soon.

Well Of CourSE you searched for Elvis hair. Karaoke and Elvis is almost as good together as peanut butter and chocolate!

Which is why I think my first $5 will be for Elvis' "Hound Dog".

[Ginafish]

I love how the playlist has the songs from the movie "Grease" arranged with that as the artist, instead of the actual artists. Who would look for John Travolta singing "Sandy" anyway?

I think we should be able to raise $50 on Beatles songs alone! That's a long list!

[Nick]

I think the Isara Man needs to be on there somewhere. Looking good, PK!

[Jennie]

Hey PK, where are the Thai songs??

[PK]

Don't worry, there will be plenty of Thai songs in the mix.  It's just going to take a while to get them ready since they're mainly on VCDs. Can't seem to find any Thai MP3s with CDG files of the lyrics attached.

Why, do you have some requests for Thai songs?  Maybe some Thaitanium?

Potato and Body Slam?

[Jennie]

Hihihi, I want to hear:

Tee derm- Potato
Piang Paw- Potato
Kwan Cheua- Bodyslam
Ya Pid- Bodyslam
Fire- Buddha Bless
Saopan- Carabao

[M3R1IN]

Im a little teapot
Itsy bitsy spider
Head shoulders knees and toes
Twinkle Twinkle little star.....
These would be hilarious to see

99 bottles of beer on the wall   could be a good time filler.

Today we faxed a signed Guinness World Record Agreement to their headquarters in England. Thanks, Ming, for helping us with the fax.

Here's the latest poster.


Decided to go with the blueman even though the microphone was more professional looking. We're trying to get our name/brand out there as much as possible so having it front and center can't hurt. Plus, it looks more fun than a sterile microphone. What do you think?

[Ginafish]

Thanks Ming for the help with the fax! And thanks PK for making the poster fun. One man, one mic, no talent?

[ZeroG]

Great poster! I wouldn't change a thing.

[lambie83]

Love the slogan!  And the Elvis hair.

[In2Kermit]

I think it's perfect! I love the slogan for it, too!

[thartley]

One man, one mic, no talent?

That is called "truth in advertising".

[PK]

Glad you liked it.

Here's some smaller versions for people's forum signatures and websites.

[Nick]

Putting it in my DVXUser signature! Woo hoo!

[Mus.]

I like the new poster. And the signature thingies. And the slogan. This event is filled with awesomeness <3

[KitKat]

   Love the new poster and smaller versions! !      

[Ming]

PK has practicing and preparing a lot, I'm sure he'll  success.  Can't wait to see and listen.
The poster are fun and interesting.  Can I request  the first song

PK: Did they say they receive the fax?

[thartley]

I would hope so, Ming!  Use your freebie!

Hey everyone....I have been looking thru some karaoke blogger sites...one guy who sings regularly went out with a group of friends and was astonished to be able to sing NINE songs in one night.  And he said his throat was pretty sore after that.

I think we're going to need to get into vocal shape here. 

 

I think I need to get some footage of his training sessions.....keep him motivated.  We can play it back and go over where he went wrong, like coaches do before football games....study the skill sets.

*edit--I have posted a new blog which includes a sneak peek at an interview....

[PK]

MIng - We got confirmation that they received the signed agreement ok. Thanks!

thartley - NINE songs? Ha!!! When we would go sing karaoke we'd each sing at least 10 songs. Lately I've been practicing each day and can sing at least 30 songs in a row without any problems. Maybe it's because I'm singing them all out of tune. lol

Of course 30 songs is a loooooooong way from 800 songs. But you gotta start some where.

[Ginafish]

http://www.your-personal-...om/bad-singing-foods.html has some good information on foods to avoid before singing, and of course, the first 'food' they DO recommend is water.

There is also a page of vocal protection techniques: http://www.your-personal-...com/voice-protection.html

800 songs? Wouldn't that almost be the entire playlist? Twice??
