The term Design Karaoke™ was coined by NCM / Vujj
in the end of 2006. As the word imply, Design Karaoke™ is a mix of design and karaoke; of exhibition and
entertainment. Design Karaoke™ takes place inside a designed
karaoke box, decorated with design furniture and accessories and a karaoke system filled with custom Design Karaoke™ songs and music videos. Design Karaoke™ songs are covers of famous songs whereas the words/meaning has been replaced to focus on design and/or design related subjects. Example below:

What the world needs now is design, deeesign
Design's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
No not just for some but for everyone
Lord we don't need another mountain
There are mountains and hillsides
Enough to climb
There are oceans and rivers
Enough to cross. enough to last
'till the end of time
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
Design's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
No not just for some but for everyone

There are corn fields and wheat fields
Enough to grow
There are sun beams and
moon beams
Enough to shine
Oh listen lord if you want to know
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
Design's the only thing that there's just too little of
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
No not just for some but for everyone
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
What the world needs now is design, deeesign
