Because hey, karaoke! Here's Gurj and an awesomely red-faced Lawrence. Happy Birthday! This was the second karaoke birthday party that Karaoke Killed the Cat hosted. The first one I'd been to was in 2006 and it was epic.
On Monday night around 11pm, I got a text from Gurj that her good friend Fran was in town from the UK and they were at 2nd on 2nd singing karaoke and that my presence was requested.
...which turned out to be the super-huge let-down of the century when we realized she'd signed up for John Mayer's "Your Body is a Wonderland!" (WTF, GURJ?)
Gurj sings the part that goes "A few times I been around that track so it's not just gonna happen like that..." and then we'd all shout back "'Cause I aint' no hollaback GURJ!" (Because her name is Gurj! Get it?)
Niki, Gurj and Shruti took the stage and rocked it like they were the Asian Pointer Sisters. (I would've just said Indian but Gurjeet don't roll like that).
As soon as they were finished singing, Gurj immediately whipped out the book to find another song to put in. She ended up going with Gwen Stefani's Holla Back Girl because during the chorus we all get to shout "Because I ain't no holla back....GURJ!" Hahahaha. After songs were selected, there was nothing to do but listen to other people sing, drink our drinks and, oh yeah...
