Ah the joys of Kareoke :)) You can sing anything you want, to the real music. And in my live country/rock band we’d have fun changing lyrics to see if anyone was paying attention. My favorite ; singing and pointing “There’s the bathroom on the right” ( “there’s a bad moon on the rise” from Bad Moon Rising, C.C.R. ) ---
