With lists of the best songs for all occasions, advice from World Karaoke Champions, awesome hand-drawn typography and illustrations, plus party scene snapshots of people singing their hearts out, this pocket-size resource will turn up the volume on happy hour.

5.0 out of 5 stars Do you know an American Idol? Perfect Gift!, July 2, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is perfect for that person in the office who thinks he's on American Idol! introduce him to karaoke! the history section is really funny, but most useful is the section of recommended playlists, so you're never clueless what to sing.

There's also some insider knowledge on where karaoke videos come from, and the origins of the karaoke home machine. Raina breaks down the archetypes of the karaoke singer. I must know someone from EVERY description. It's hilarious...truly great writing! Great gift for any music lover or karaoke freak!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, July 2, 2008
What's not to love about this book? Whether you're a professional karaoke barfly or a shower singer, this book has you covered. Songlist by theme (not expected themes, hilarious themes) are included, as well as an honest primer of what NOT to sing. Kinda makes you want to hand it out to people at the karaoke bar!

Brush up on your karaoke etiquette and even learn a bit of karaoke history. This is the perfect gift for the American Idols in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is fun and entertaining, just like its subject!, July 4, 2008
By John Pham "Hi there!" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love to sing karaoke even though I'm not very good, and this book is a boon to me! Author Raina Lee does an excellent job of researching the origins of this performative pastime as well as uncovering some of the lesser known and arcane chapters in its ongoing history. An exhaustive yet fun exegesis on all things karaoke related, it includes great photos, hilarious themed songlists and even reviews and rundowns of the best and most unique karaoke venues in the country. This book is absolutely necessary for anyone interested in karaoke, from the casual I'll-only-sing-if-I'm-drunk dipper to the serious American Idol wannabe. Plus the author is cute. I love this book!!!
