I’ve only done karaoke once. I was in America, in the middle of nowhere, filming a TV show and staying in a really bad hotel, which had a karaoke. I did Sweet Home Alabama, but I only know the hook, so after that it was just mumbling. They loved it, though! It’s weird seeing a large
British brown guy singing Sweet Home Alabama in the middle of Oklahoma.
