Its my last few hours in Beijing and I have a sore throat. It might be due to the cold weather, but I am blaming Tuesday night’s karaoke (KTV) bar adventure for it. Especially my efforts at Bohemian Rhapsody – those high notes were a killer. Not to mention that song just goes on and on. Fortunately there was beer, lots of it, and snacks. All good fun, and ended up costing less than $10 each for 3 hours or so of singing and drinking.
Better start packing soon, my flight is just after lunchtime, and I get home tomorrow lunchtime.
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright’ning me
(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo figaro
Magnifico I’m just a poor boy and nobody loves me
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
Beijing, China, karaoke, KTV, Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody
