Not as much as birthday cake, I assure you. Karaoke's an activity... Well, there are machines for the process, but so long as you have a microphone and a song void of any lyrics, that's the spirit of karaoke. It's live singing, often with friends, often with drinks, ideally with both. Lots of good fun, especially with the sort of people who understand how to choose the right kinds of songs.

[ The city, being allergic to fun, does not have a karaoke machine. They will have to adapt. Improvise. Overcome. ]
