Your Karaoke Theme Song is "Baby Got Back" You're a total show off who is willing to risk looking like a fool to get a few laughs. In fact, you'll go for the cheap laugh if you need to... because it's better than no reaction! Your friends can count on you to get a party started, and you'll party hard until you can't remember their names. You're charismatic, charming, and a total character. With or without a few drinks in you. You might also sing: "I Touch Myself," "Oops I Did it Again," or "My Humps" Stay away from people who sing: "Candle in the Wind" What's Your Karaoke Theme Song?www.blogthings.com/whatsyourkaraokethemesongquiz/

Oh please, that is so not me.  I'm rather quite shy and have never ever done karaoke before. I do like those songs though. |

b]Your Karaoke Theme Song is "YMCA"[/b]  You're the type of person who can't have fun unless everyone else is right there with you having a blast. You have an amazing knack for figuring out what people want, and you don't mind going the extra mile to make them happy. The spotlight is something you enjoy on occasion, but you prefer that not all the attention is on you. If you've gotten people to sing or dance along with you, then you're song is a success. You might also sing: "Macarena," "Hot, Hot, Hot" or "Stayin' Alive" Stay away from people who sing: "The Greatest Love of All" What's Your Karaoke Theme Song?www.blogthings.com/whatsyourkaraokethemesongquiz/ |

[glow=blue,2,300]Here's a true story you'll either love or hate regarding "Baby Got Back."
Years back I was the first caucasian female to do a live mix show on radio in the USA. There was one female before me (Foxy B) but she had other deejays do the mixes for her, while she did the talking. On the other hand, I performed every one of my mix shows live, no pre-mixes, absolutely non-scripted in any way (those were my contractural terms) using four turntables.
I was an early supporter of Sir Mix-a-Lot, and helped "Nastymix Records" get off the ground. ("Nastymix" was named for a deejay friend on the West Coast named "Nasty Nes," who, unllike his name, is a very nice guy. Nes' Mom was actually a close friend and dojo member of Bruce Lee's, as was Nes.)
When it got back to Mix-a-Lot that a white girl was doing a mix show that was getting triple the ratings of the NYC and LA deejays, Mix thought that was the biggest hoot he'd ever heard.
So he found a rather unique way of thanking me for my support.
If you listen to the song, "Baby Got Back," the very beginning starts with two girls talking about another girl who has a big butt. It begins with the following words: "Oh, My, God, Becky, Look at her butt."
I'm not making this up in any way, feel free to ask Mix or Nes: They threw the name Becky in as a "shout-out" to me. When they told me this, I gave them hell about it. I said, THIS is what I get for helping you guys sell a million damn records? But the joke was on me. A week later I was presented with a platinum single award for my "help" with "Baby Got Back," along with a commendation from the president of the record company. It was accompanied by a private home film of Mix's home -- he gave me the whole tour, including the location of hidden cabinets where he keeps his guns, and the studio he installed in his mansion.
*That* made me happy, 'cos *this* baby happens to like platinum. BOOYAH! And now you know the secret story behind "Baby Got Back."[/glow]

[glow=green,2,300]Oh, brother.[/glow]
You are a very expressive and genuine person.
You're not so emotional that you wear your heart on your sleeve - but you're not afraid to show how you're truly feeling.
Whether you're singing along in the car or singing on stage, your favorite songs make you get a little carried away.
You're definitely the type most likely to dream of becoming a rock star!
You might also sing: "Livin' La Vida Loca," "I Will Survive," or "Hollaback Girl"
Stay away from people who sing: "I'll Make Love to You"

And here I was getting excited the other night when the movie I was watching had a book signing scene and the author started signing "HOLL..." lolol. Alright anyway.......that is awesome Beck. ;D Thanks for sharing. |

That is a very cool story Becky. Ironically I use that phrase almost daily..."Oh my God Becky".....but I say it in a really lousy valley girl way. I'm glad that you weren't the girl with THE Big Butt!!!! That would not have been a good shout out! Thanks for sharing that! Is it okay that I tell everyone that you are my friend from that song??? ;D
I first heard that song in grade 11. I planned a trip for my class to go to Daytona Beach for March break. We chartered a bus and off 40-something of us went to experience what we watched in all of those 1980's movies about Spring Break in Florida. We took a cab to a restaurant and our cabbie played that song - extra loud - while shouting out to all the women along the way "hey baby - show me your tits". Yep, he was classy. Anyways I used to think of that trip everytime I heard that song but NOW I'll think of YOU when I hear the first part of the song!

[glow=blue,2,300]LOL, no, the joke was on me because I just do not have "junk in the trunk," I am ass-challenged (THANKS, Mom and Dad!!!).
I'm working on a MySpace (if i can stand it long enough -- sheesh) but I'll PM you two a link to pictures of a couple of the artists I worked with and i think two of my awards are on this page too. Most of it is stored safely, along with my collection of over 21,000 "12 records, not counting 45's, CD's and collector's additions (I collect colored vinyl). I'm a techno-tard, so don't expect much, it's just a very basic page.[/glow]

[glow=purple,2,300]No, my mix shows were truly mix shows; I blended *some* hip-hop with Miami bass, House, techno, Drum & Bass, popular dance music, electronica (such as Kraftwerk).
But those were just two shows I did on Friday and Saturday nights -- the Party Crowd.
Monday through Thursday I did regular programming from 7 - 10, then I did a love music dedication show from 10 until midnight. That show, "Moonlight Magic" was the highest rated of all.
And my true love was Sunday nights when I did a jazz show, 7 to midnight.
Now, none of this is counting the umpteen live remotes I had to do, AND the fact I also worked clubs after work on the weekend nights to supplement my income. If you're keeping up with your math, that's seven days a week, overtime in every single week. So a few of us left that station and launched our own. In less than one year, it took the number one position in the city. But I added one more demand in my contract: I would never again work seven days a week. It damn near killed me. I hated giving up my beloved jazz, but health and business had to come first.
The local rock stations have made offers too -- I'm equally at home with the various rock genres. The only thing I won't do is country/western. Just not my cup of tea.[/glow]
