Let's do an exercise. Click the play button above. Enjoy the song. Now imagine a drunken monotone duet, consisting of one half yours truly, singing this song in a fairly packed bar having a karaoke night in Manhattan. You're just at the bar trying to have a couple drinks but these two obnoxious people are belting out the worst rendition of a Styx song you've ever heard, and apparently they don't really know the words despite the scrolling on the screen right in front of them. Finally they finish and you and the rest of the bar just sort of stare. No one claps. You move on. They don't.

We should have stuck to not singing in public ever.
