I've seen it done as a line dance that circles the floor, and just like the two-step, there's always at least one older, Hispanic Fred and Ginger that make you want to go back and dance with the toddlers.<BR/><BR/>Ran into a woman a couple of years ago in Red River, New Mexico, who was planning a movie-oke night for her converted theater-tea-room-antique mall. I've been practicing my John Wayne moves for the next trip.<BR/><BR/>And if jen t.

I prefer Green Day, too. :)Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321713951006827527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-48917081689185521782007-12-30T12:10:00.000-06:002007-12-30T12:10:00.000-06:00i haven't sung at any karaoke thing..but..i really...i haven't sung at any karaoke thing..<BR/>but..<BR/><BR/>i really dislike the "popular" songs here in mexico.. so that's one of the reasons i don't sing, another reason is of course, that i cant sing..<BR/><BR/>hehe.. but i would much rather sing green day songs than some sucky "cumbia" songs...<BR/><BR/>i don't know if you know what "cumbia" is, but i hate it, and the worst of it all is, that it's the most popular kind of music around... makes me gag.Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02421945254730017094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8604246.post-27326591304790192382007-12-30T05:01:00.000-06:002007-12-30T05:01:00.000-06:00I will DEFINITELY be at your grand opening. :)I will DEFINITELY be at your grand opening. :)Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111036439004167503noreply@blogger.com
