Friday Night Karaoke

It's Season 2, Episode 5 of the Friday Night Karaoke Podcast, and the theme was Karaoke Dedications!

What better way to celebrate the holidays together after a full blown Christmas Songs week than with a week about Dedications! #FNKDedication is exactly like it sounds - songs dedicated to a special person (or any person) in our lives. It can be for better (I dedicate this to my daughter because she loves building snowmen) or worse (I dedicate this to my ex because I hope his car gets run over by a Mack Truck), or anything in-between. We recorded video as well as audio - feel free to give it a watch here (and join the FNK FB community for free while you're at it!): https://fb.watch/aph6dCnNaJ/

They were on top of the world for a song, for a moment, and then...... poof! Gone like yesterday's news. That's right, we are talking about One Hit Wonders, those songs that just creep into your ear canal and take residence in your brain for weeks on end. The band name escapes you, but you can sing every word to the chorus. #FNKOneHit is giving these artists another chance at fame by putting their (one) famous song front and center in our setlists, and singing them for all FNK to hear.

It's also the one year anniversary of the Friday Night Karaoke FB group - so Happy Anniversary FNK!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS EPISODE: Mike's internet went out near the beginning of the episode, and this was salvaged with the audio we would save from attempts to reconnect via 5g (so there are less than the usual 10 songs, and Mike's audio quality is less than perfect after the 2nd song).

Featured in this episode alongside hosts Mike Wiston and Joe Rubin:

- Happy Anniversary FNK by (many) members of the FNK FB Group
- Jennifer with Black Velvet by Alannah Myles
- Levy Alturus & Heather Gurnari with What's up by 4 Non Blondes
- Mike Wiston with Friend Like Me by Aladdin
- Joe Rubin with I Wanna Be Like You by The Jungle Book
