karaoke

Singing without a live orchestra or band. Originally meaning "without orchestra," it is a combination of Japanese "kara" meaning "empty/bare-handed" as in "karate", and the "okee" sound from the first syllable of "orchestra" as pronounced by Japanese.

The guy who thought up karaoke created a bar owner's dream, because as patrons provide their own entertainment by singing along with a machine, management saves a fortune by not hiring talented musicians.

Karaoke Roll

The act of selecting Rick Astley's song, Never Gonna Give You Up for someone else at Karaoke. It is essentially a third-party Rickroll.

There are two main ways to Karaoke Roll someone. The first way is to straight up surprise the victim, in that they do no know that they are going to be called up until it happens. The second way is to hijack their selection by tipping or buying a drink for the DJ, or karoake guy, and changing their song but having him still announce their original selection.

Frank was going to sing "Freebird" but when the music started, he realized he had just been Karaoke Rolled.

iPod karaoke

The act of singing loudly along to the music on one's iPod, which nobody but the singer can hear. Usually sung off key and out of tune.

Think of Eddie Murphy singing "Roxanne" in 48 Hours.

Q: Dude, what the *#)@* are you yelling?

A: Oh, just a little iPod Karaoke.

Karaoke Blue Balls

The feeling when you can't wait to sing your next karaoke song and when your turn comes up the host says "we have a new singer singing Friends In Low Places."

You should have seen John's Karaoke Blue Balls when he had to wait an extra 10 minutes to sing Enter Sandman.
