Get yo K on

Hello.

Welcome back.

Its been a long 2 years.

I'm sure you're all dying from suspense; quivering with excitement 

What could the next post be about?

Years of careful thought, days of grueling trial and error, culminating to this very moment.

Providing you with adequate warm up and good dial back moments whilst ensuring hype not only remains but is built up gradually to an explosive finale 

Ladies and gentlemen, without further ado

I present to you 

Blutackbuddy's karaoke song set list (patent pending)


Set A 

Say you're with a group of people who don't really sing English songs, but they were still exposed to the mainstream ones along the way. This set not only helps you remind them how great English songs are, but also exposes them to the wonders at the fringes of what is mainstream.

Castle on the hill - Ed Sheeran

Come alive - The Greatest Showman

LA devotee - Panic! at the disco

Set B

By the lucks of heaven, you've found a group of friends with girls and guys that are keen to have duets with you. 

But remember, not every song has to be a collaboration, you have to integrate different people into your repertoire of kickass songs 

Quintessentially, remember to read the room. Knowing when to skip to the next song and potentially playing around with its order is key to this playlist

Set C 

Lets say you and the boys have predrank the shit out of that gin and tonic. You guys decide that its a great idea to head to the closest karaoke booth.

By the time you reach there, you're high as shit and ready to spit some lyrics although you know you probably can't.
