I may have sung Here Comes Your Man in a little joint called The Jumpin' Jukebox in Winfield KS the weekend before the Oklahoma State game. Brought the house down, really.

Robert Plant's vocal range should not be attempted by amateurs. Only seasoned crooners need attempt. Like me, I routinely belt out 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You' and 'Over the Hills and Far Away' drop the mic on the stage and walk out without paying my tab. Never to set foot in that bar again.

I once saw a very mousey white guy get up from drinking alone at the bar, cooly walk up to the mic, lay down the most amazing rendition of "Sex Machine" I've ever heard, put down the mic, and walk back to the bar for a drink.
In the middle of the performance, a black guy got up from his table, draped his jacket over the guy like a cape, and the dude didn't even break character for a second.
The guy never sang again or got up from his chair again all night. It's on the list of the most bad ass things I've ever seen.

One of my karaoke bros and I are thinking about going in on a collaboration effort. We don't know what to sing though. Consider our ability to pull off complicated harmonies pretty limited. Willing to sneak into the male/female love duets as long as it has the "bring down the house" type potential. No classic rock. No country.
So far though, we're thinking about going with Let Me Clear My Throat. That definitely has some bring down the house potential.
This type of stuff keeps me up at night... (https://goemaw.com/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Ft0.gstatic.com%2Fimages%3Fq%3Dtbn%3AANd9GcQBTOYQY6l2xrM8jGSCxWT7nc61xbCkJBxZaInd2ekicN7-egwdJVzAZOaI&hash=81dd08005f112d943536837dc8c87853a12a99c6)

I think i've got a good thing going with Enrique so I'm sticking with him.
Next time is Escape.
leave escape for the enrique rookies. don't turn out the lights. that's where the action is.
Listen, I love Enrique's more enriched, underground stuff as much as the next guy, but I don't know if "the people" do. You know?
Long story short, I agree. But I don't know if "they will." And I think that's what's important.
this thread and all the Enrique love even more affirms my love for goEMAW. Hero and Escape are my 2 songs. Did this in Fort Worth and some bar during the Cotton Bowl trip me and my buddies went on
