    Anyone got a YES karaoke song?

    Has anyone ever sung or heard anyone else sing a YES song at karaoke?
    I've never sung one, but I did hear someone sing OOALH once (or as I call it, 'Odour of a Boggy Fart'). It's the only YES song I've seen listed - not even Wondrous Stories or Don't Kill The Whale.
    I sang Floyd's Wish You Were Here last week (some might say murdered!) after much beer and persuasion!
    Obviously a lot of songs are too long to tackle, but I reckon a Prog Rock karaoke would be a good laugh.

    Re: Anyone got a YES karaoke song?

    A friend of mine is really into karaoke. Her husband is the MC. I was back home one weekend, so I went with her, with the understanding that I would not sing in public. I looked at the list; they had three Yes choices - I've Seen All Good People, Roundabout, and Owner.

    Angela surprised me by singing I've Seen All Good People. The Your Move half was fine. She's not a big Yes fan, and I don't think she realized how repetitive the All Good People section is.

    There were two monitors with lyrics set up, one facing her and one facing the audience. Every time the lyrics refreshed with those same words there again, she got this pained look on her face. It was like "When will this ever end and Why does Rhea like this stuff so much?" She said afterward it felt a lot longer than eight minutes.

    This was about 5 years ago. We still laugh about it.

    Funny you ask.
    I was in a bar last week one night minding my own business, drinking away
    my troubles when some knuckle head throws on Gates of Delirium.
    All of a sudden some one point to me and yells, He's a Yesfan!. What could I do except get up there and do the masterpiece
    justice, in my best Bill Murry lounge act swagger. There wasnt a dry eye in that place by the time
    the last note of Soon was finished. You had to be there.

    I note that Karaoke-version.com has two Yes tunes available: Owner of a Lonely Heart and Leave It. They even have samples . . .and they're not half bad.

    You can also vote for "the next releases": The choices are

    Changes
    Roundabout
    It Can Happen
    Heart Of The Sunrise
    Hold on
    Yours Is No Disgrace
    Starship Trooper
    Long Distance Runaround
    Time And A Word
    Sweet Dreams


    OK, everybody sing along

    Re: Anyone got a YES karaoke song?

    Not only does the idea of Yes Karaoke make me feel queasy, the possibility that a Yes Karaoke session might be planned on the Yes cruise is likely to result in me emptying the contents of my cruise-buffet-filled stomach all over the nearest downwind Yesfan. Having got over that I could easily see myself attempting Owner of an Empty Stomach or I've See All You People Turn My Guts Today, Dissatisfied I'm On My Way.

    I don't have time to upload it right now. I have to zip them all up. I'll do it later today if I don't get side-tracked. Toodles!

    Great.

    I've got software that'll put it in MY key so I can sing it without squeaking.
