Socktickler's Karaoke Club

[Sockstickler]

*In one part of the TTC forums, behind a great curtain, a sound of furious hammering and sawing can be heard* Ok, easy there. *drills whine as they do their work. At this point, some of the members grow curious* Almost got it. *wire snips and torch welds* THERE!
*I step out from behind the curtain* Ok, things have been a bit tense here, so I wanted to try to do something to help, and I wanted to try to bring something fun to the site. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that... *pulls aside the curtain, revealing a great stage with microphones, speakers all along the room, and a wide array of instruments along one wall*
Ladies and gentlemen, I wish to welcome you to Socks' Karaoke Club!
Now, I can hear the groans from some of you, but I wanted to try to give something back to the community that has welcomed me with open arms. That's why I set up this stage. Yes, it's sturdy enough. I know a bit about shop work 😎
This is to give anyone, whether a professional musician or someone who just wants to give it a shot, a chance to come on up here and belt out a tune whenever they want. There are some things that are bigger than we are, and music is one of those. I hope that some of you would take advantage of this place. It's open 24-7 😀
There aren't really any rules, and I won't discourage any kind of music. Collaborations are allowed too, so come on! Give it a try!

*karaoke veteran in real life, so why not online as well? Steps up to the mic, and the music plays*

You got me looking at that heaven in your eyes
I was chasing your direction
I was telling you no lies
And I was loving you
When the words are said, baby, I lose my head

And in a world of people, there's only you and I
There ain't nothing come between us in the end
How can I hold you when you ain't even mine?
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more

All that I need is just one moment in your arms
I was chasing your affection
I was doing you no harm
And I was loving you
Make it shine, make it rain, baby I know my way

I need that sweet sensation of living in your love
I can't breath when you're away, it pulls me down
You are the question and the answer am I
Only you can see me through
I leave it up to you

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more

Do it light, taking me through the night
Shadow dancing, baby you do it right
Give me more, drag me across the floor
Shadow dancing, all this and nothing more

Whoo! Yeah, alright! Nice job, man! Any other takers?
Ok, and to show that I wouldn't ask anyone to do something I'm not willing to do myself, I'll do one.
*Steps up, looks around at the crowd, and picks up the microphone. I know this is my time to shine, to show what I can do. I know the song I'll perform, a piano intro begins, and so do I.*

Highway run
Into the midnight sun
Wheels go round and round
You're on my mind

Restless hearts
sleep alone tonight
Sending all my love
along the wire

They say that the road ain't no place to start a family
Right down the line it's been you and me
And loving a music man ain't always what it's s'posed to be
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours, faithfully

Circus life
under the big top world
We all need the clowns
to make us smile

Through space and time
Always another show
Wondering where I am
Lost without you

And bein' apart ain't easy on this love affair
Two strangers learn to fall in love again
And I get the joy of rediscoverin' you
Oh girl, you stand by me
I'm forever yours, faithfully

*Guitar and drums pick up*

Oh
Oh
Oh

*Guitar solo begins*

Faithfully
I'm still yours

*Guitar solo continues*

I'm forever yours, ever yours
Faithfully

Oh

*stands and applauds*

Nice job!!!! I miss karaoke! I haven't done it in a while, and I miss it. I'll do another, and then leave the stage for the next show off to come. This is a fave song of this artist that I am doing, way back before he started going under all the plastic surgery.

*music starts, I grab the mic*

Looking Out
Across The Night-Time The City Winks A Sleepless Eye
Hear Her Voice Shake My Window Sweet Seducing Sighs
Get Me Out Into The Night-Time Four Walls Won't Hold Me Tonight
If This Town Is Just An Apple Then Let Me Take A Bite

If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way

Reaching Out To Touch A Stranger Electric Eyes Are Ev'rywhere
See That Girl She Knows I'm Watching She Likes The Way I Stare

If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
I Like Livin' This Way
I Like Lovin' This Way

Looking Out Across The Morning The City's Heart Begins To Beat
Reaching Out I Touch Her Shoulder I'm Dreaming Of The Street

If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
If They Say Why, Why, Tell 'Em That Is Human Nature
Why, Why, Does He Do Me That Way
I Like Livin' This Way
