Joe knows 15,000 songs. But not THAT one.

 

[DooDooBrown]

Every miserable old people party I’ve ever been to, they’ve played “Don’t Stop Believin,” I can’t believe a professional street corner busker wouldn’t know that song.

old Joseph Colleen is losing his voice after that many consecutive gigs.

 

[Torque’sHeadBump]

Key takeaway is that his cruise audience is not all old British boomers, but some of his fellow Americans too.

Also, wtf is wrong with the guy asking for Journey? What is so poor about that, from an etiquette perspective?

Had a Journey cover band, cant play Journey.

We strictly do 80's Journey Sir

 

[The Talking Dead]

Ribs

Someone ask him to sing "Domino", then compare it to mine.




We'll make a game of it.

Can you imagine if we had an old fucker on the inside who was on that cruise? We could get them to request he sing the stupidest songs every night. I still want to hear him sing Come Sail Away by Styx.

He knows the songs. They are just too high for him to sing in the original key.

Thing is, regular people don't think about that kind of things when they request songs. Nothing wrong with that.

Nice making internet videos to mock your audience, stupid. Nice not transposing songs, stupid.

He could sing it in a lower key with a capo, grumpy old dickhead

Good thing his bosses wont see this video of him making fun of their guests. That might get him in hot water.

I would drunkly yell play "Sex Bomb"

I'd call for "Big Bottoms" by Spinal Tap.

"Mister CYOUmia, I have a request. Could you please tap out the famous drum fill from In The Air Tonight on your microphone in a way that will embarrass and give douche chills to everyone in the room? Thanks, I knew you could!"

Also, wtf is wrong with the guy asking for Journey? What is so poor about that, from an etiquette perspective?

Because he essentially just told the guy his voice sucks and he doesn't have range and the guy follows up and asks for a song that is hard to sing.

 

[Rick Roblinson]

Do Pendulum!

 

[Andy Elliott]

I bet all the people on that cruise fuckin hate Joe.

 

[GialloGlove]

Do Pendulum!

Not even awful. What is awful is his Johnny Cash impression. Sounds like a bootleg Sisters of Mercy.
