Creepy Bars and Good Music

Yesterday night my friend and I went to a karaoke bar. At first it seemed to be a really shabby place. Probably, if we were not expected to meet some colleagues, we would have turned on the spot to drive home. We were early and had to wait for more friends to come. Being two cuties from Germany we were attacked from all kind of guys hanging out there. Really creepy guys, too. Only the bar tender was sweet. Fortunately we were rescued soon.  As soon as the karaoke started the place transformed. Suddenly the creepiness of the place vanished with the first song: really good music and a really good singer! It turned out that the majority of people sang really well and I was impressed by our friends singing. Now it was our turn. We chose a German song: 99 Luftballons, next to Rammstein songs the only German song that ever made its way to fame in the US. What a disaster, the lyrics were in English (German version?) and we did not know them. Who cares, we had the German chick bonus :) We had a swell night. If I only knew some more songs it would have been even better. So if you ever go to a karaoke bar, be prepared and practice your lyrics, it makes for such a better experience...
