Deadspin
From the Things We Don't Understand file, we end your day with this entirely random video that features Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo and "Saved By The Bell"'s Mr. Belding playing Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" with "metal" "band" Metal Skool.
We have no idea what any of this means, but we're now officially cerebrally fried enough to enjoy the rest of our evening.
Tony Romo And Mr. Belding Singing Don't Stop Believing [WBRS Sports Blog]
(For the record, we RAWK on this song in karaoke; it's our third place song, behind REO Speedwagon's "Can't Fight This Feeling" and The Digital Underground's "Humpty Dance.")
Comments
I always imagined Mr. Belding gettin' dizzy Puerto Rican style with Kelly Kapowski in a Burger King bathroom.
Sex Packets!
Will, I thought your No. 1 song was "Paradise by the Dashboard Light." Or do you distinguish solo karaoke performances from duets?
at last! someone else who appreciates the karoake gold that is REO Speedwagon!
Yes. Duets are an entirely different animal. That's the only song worth doing as a duet. It is long, but I like to think I make it worth one's while. (Ahem.)
WOW! That is all I can say.
Best SBTB episode: Murder mystery (which was actually on yesterday)
Best Karoake song: This one or "Brandy" by Looking Glass
Worst.StageBanter.Ever
Here here...duets are a different story. I mean, can you really top "Cruisin'?"
Yeah...I'm gay.
Mr. Belding seems a little intoxicated
My sister plays volleyball for UT-Chattanooga, alma mater of T.O. and Mr. Belding (Dennis Haskins). Haskins likes to show up at random parties and functions at UTC, apparently, and get blitzed.
"Make some noise for Dennis Hopper! I mean Dennis Haskins, for chrissakes!"
i, too, like my oatmeal lumpy
where's kelly or slater?
Did any one else notice that Belding looks eerily similar to Berman now? I also love that he called him Mr. Belvidere at first.
Oh, and "Space Oddity" by Bowie rulez on karaoke.
Tony Romo got off the stage and immediately killed whoever talked him into going to see the band.
For the record, your "for the record" borders on TMI.
Mr. Belding turned into a turkey neck.
I don't think this will help Romo get Carrie Underwood back; she's more of an Eagles girl.
I'm shocked Romo didn't drop the mic.
My valentine's day is made.
mr. belding looks like a skinny Chris Berman.
I forgot to note: Eli Manning is jealous.
If we're talking duets, hands down the best is "Afternoon Delight." Preferrably with one's cousin.
That's a lot of "quotation marks" for one "post".
Jen P - "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights." Worst. Karoake. Song. Ever. I watched my brother clear out a bar during the six minute musical interlude, as he stood there gyrating like a douchebag, killing time.
Also, Port O'Call does karoake with a live band. You pick the song, they play it with you as the lead vocalist. Pretty epic.
This alleged "metal band" can't hold a candle to the Zack Attack.
Sister Christian, Boyz N The Hood (Dynamite Hack version) and Separate Ways are my favorite karaoke songs.
There is an under appreciation for Holding Out For a Hero by Bonnie Tyler though
To be fair, that was fuckin' bitchin'...
No one can match my Aqualung karaoke.
As much as I'm generally not a fan of country music, I've heard some pretty good renditions of "Live Like You Were Dying" at Uno Chicago Pizza Kitchen. Or whatever the hell they're calling it these days.
It's "Wonderwall", you know, if I ever actually go to a karaoke bar. Ever. But I know all of the changes and musical cues by heart, but it's not that hard to sing better than a drunken Gallagher.
I have 2 words for you (or is it 1?) - Bon Jovi
theWolf - tell me you play the airflute during that song.
...but it's not that hard to sing better than a drunken Gallagher.
Yeah, but can you grow a better unibrow?
I don't think I've ever said this before to you, Will, and I'm pretty sure I won't say it again:
I want to party with you.
Oh, it's on.
LBCS: Sister Christian's a good one. Sometimes I like to go for a Whitesnake song because there's always an aspiring Tawny Kitaen at the karaoke bar who's lagered up and ready to hit the car hood.
I agree with 44 on not being a country fan, but I've Got Friends in Low Places always brings down the house
"Paradise" definitely requires the right two people to pull it off. I've never had the guts to try it, but I sing it all the time at home.
The other classic, too-long duet: "Summer Lovin'" from Grease. At least the crowd can join in on that one, though.
My personal karaoke favorite is "Brass in Pocket." I didn't know that about Port O'Call - someday I may get drunk enough to give it a shot.
I become Jeremy when I do karaoke. I even shoot myself at the end of the song.
TONY FUCKING ROMO
Matoon and REO. Color me surprised.
bands still dress like that?
no words.
ultimate karaoke song...Carwash
Creasybear, I believe you mean niece or nephew, not cousin.
Belding is fucking tonight.
So, Tuffy, you're saying the Deadspin Midwest Pants Party group can go straight from the game at Comisky to a live band karaoke bar?
The guitarist from a band called Metal Skool says, "We play heavy metal asshole," and launches into Don't Stop Believing by Journey.
One of these things does not belong here, one of these things just isn't the same...
"I'll throw in a vote for Beer Run by Garth Brooks." -JJ Redick
Why, Dweeze, I never thought of that! But now that you mention it...yes. Yes, I am.
+1 Raskolnikov
Good thing Parcells is dead.
Dennis Haskins is no Brocktoon
Yeah, but can you grow a better unibrow?
It's the problem that has confronted British science for nie on a decade now...and they still aren't any closer. But there is hope, through research.
Tuffy, that is awesome beyond awesome.
Ok, who let the fat chick on stage?
BDD:
How can you become Jeremy when it isn't Jeremy who's singing the song? What do you do on stage? Draw with crayons while draped in the American flag?
I too, wonder if fat girls are ticklish.
Lindsey Lohan, that is my favorite SBTB episode TOO!
As far as karaoke goes, Paradise by the Dashboard Light brings the house down (in a good) if you have a guy and a girl who can really do it.
I also enjoy singing Alone by Heart, Take it to the Limit by the Eagles and Vehicle by the Ides of March.
This is weird, they did the same shit with Kelly Clarkson about 6 months ago. No Sweet Caroline yet? Let's give the Jewish Elvis his due.
My Mom and Dad sing 'Paradise' at weddings and other family functions, usually around the end of the night. I swear they get invitied to places just for this purpose. For being 48 and 49 they do a good job.
For the longest time, I've had a completely irrational hatred of Journey. Right now, I feel completely validated.
Now, if they could get Elizabeth Berkeley up there to cover "I'm So Excited", well, I'll bring the speed pills.
Well, I'm skinny, and it never stopped me from getting busy.
No Sweet Caroline yet? Let's give the Jewish Elvis his due.
my #1 karaoke song, hands down
I've brought the house down with "Greatest Love of All"
