"DON'T FORGET TO TIP YOUR BARTENDER"

[djBe]

Are YOU guilty of The Lamest Line In Karaoke: "Don't forget to tip your bartender!"

I can't believe how many hack-ass KJs still generically say it, sometimes all night long, sometimes after every frickin singer, and why is it always the KJs who use that phoney baloney carney-oke voice? };=D

I prefer something along the lines of a "Hey Tom's Lounge, say HI to your bartender the lovely ms. APRIL. Hi AAAAPRIL!" Then the crowd says "HI AAAAPRIL." etc....Then I add something like "Take care of APRIL as she takes care of you with $5 white russians, $2 PBR.." or whatever the specials are.

See what happened there, newbies?

Instead of implying my crowd is cheap/forgetful (while seemingly forgeting the bartender's name myself) by ordering them to tip I put the bartender into the show for a minute, and get her name said THREE times while also spieling out the drink specials.
