This is a top pick!
... show finishes, Karaoke kicks off!! There are a few lame slow songs and Rebecca is 5th in line. I just can't believe what she picked. Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger (the theme tune used on Peep Show for opening and closing credits!!) A great song choice and it livens the place up!!
