Don't go to Jake's for karaoke, unless you are extremely hot in a gay way, are totally rich, or are "in the loop."
Cause it's lame.
The past three times that I have gone to Jake's and put in my request for karaoke, they have NEVER FUCKING PLAYED MY SONG. Do you know how frustrating it is to get all stoked up, get ready to sing my special song, and wait all night for nothing?! Yes, it is frustrating.
Now, it may not be SO frustrating, but it is because the same people will go two or three times before they will even CONSIDER playing my song.
There are a few speculations that have been made.
1. Tipping. The karaoke DJ wants you to tip, and she wants you to tip well. People slip her twenty dollar bills, blah blah blah. I have never, ever gone to a karaoke bar where this was standard practice. I think it sucks. Sure, bump their song up for a good tip, but letting the same person go several times? No. Not fair.
2. Am I not gay enough for Jake's?
3. Do I just have to make friends with the DJ? Cause honestly, she doesn't seem too friendly.
Anyway, it's pretty balls, and I keep telling myself that I am going to boycott Jake's karaoke and go somewhere else. Which, I do, sometimes. But, I always end up going back to Jake's to see if maybe, just maybe, they'll play my song in a timely matter, for once. And guess what? THEY NEVER DO!
Fuck that.
