These guys came out of nowhere with Coolio's Gangstas Paradise.
Straight out the gate they were on fire, showing us all how to ack right in this thing.
This is about the part where Ben lost his mind and went full force, flashing his plastic gun and low riding boxers. Fool!!!
The there was a gang fight that ultimately lead to death.
Sorry Sarah, just another victim of the game I suppose.
Next, jai ho from the slumdog millionaire soundtrack. These guys lived in India for a year, so they had the threads and the knowhow.
In the end, their beginning to end choreographed dance routine one best dance skills of the night.
Seriously, again demonstrating how to lose yourself in the song.
Last minute add INS, these guys went with a classic song.
Can you guess? Jitterbug...wham.
Wake me up before you go go. Caitlin and I strongly considered this song as well.
Bet you didn't see Ace of Base coming, did you? Either did I...especially All That She Wants. But boom, there it was.
xtreme karaoke comes with it's moments of shame, there is no question about that. You just have to work it and own it.
Success!
Our winners from the 2009 competition decided to demonstrate that they can actually sing...which they can.
Ain'tNo Mountain High Enough. A classic that you don't mess with unless you got the chops. Only this couple has the collective chops to execute.
And the energy.
Lauren and Jason went about choosing their song in a unique way...sort the iTunes by the shortest song and choose that...which happened to be a Christmas song.
Baby it's Cold Outside. Have you paid attention to the lyrics on this song? Wow.
Seductive, sensual...just like these guys.
I was wondering when we would get some Neil Diamond. Right here.
Reaching out, touching me, touching you...the more violent version.
Odd, but powerful.
Then came DWo and LWo. These guys won the Best Effort award for their insane approach to an even more insane song by Karen Carpenter.
I cant even tell you the name of this song, but it involves aliens and announcers and apparently snuggies.
See what I mean?
Special.
But they owned it with pride, and laughter happened...so in a way, they were the most successful.
Sometimes kids get jealous of grownup fun and want in on the action.
To further the purpose of our party, we also celebrated a few birthdays.
This is not a symbol of the night though, cause nobody's performance blew that night. Thanks everyone for indulging me yet again in my ideas for fun.
