The Karaoke Story Creating Community

By Terry Hong
Special to AsianWeek

The Reverend, formerly known as Carlton A. Williams, has a certain unchristian weakness for married women, so he’s left the First Apostle Church to minister “All Night Long” to the crowds streaming into the Happy Twins Karaoke Lounge. Noah’s drinking away the anniversary of losing his wife and their twins when she ran off 30 years ago. He’s longing for “Yesterday.”

Enter club regulars, Roman and Anthony — they’re so “Hot in Here” they want to take their clothes off. When the audience calls for an encore, Roman and Anthony — or are they — are “Under Pressure.” Andrea, Anthony’s wife, shows up with her sister because she wants to know where he hangs out all night, leaving her at home with her lonely love. Anthony (which one? your guess is as good as mine) doesn’t want her to cramp his style, to which she answers, “Hit Me with Your Best Shot.”
