hit me with your best shot

Am I the only person who thought karaoke bars had gotten married and gone to live in the hills? My good friend L took me out for a drink on a saturday night, and i got to hear a neil young song totally shredded (not in a good way) and of course, as if it never gets played, pat benatar. Hit me with your best shot. Are you kidding me? Did i listen to this crap in the eighties? Well, let's see i was 14, 15, 16, in the eighties, shit. I did. But now those words...hit me with your best shot, with everything that i have been through, the last freaking words I am going to get up and sing in front of some time warp crowd is this set of words. Is it just me? My friend went to use the ladies bathroom and missed out on this conversation.
Serious Karaoke Man #1 "When I hit that tone, my voice just reaches up."
Serious Karaoke Man #2 "I know what you mean. My range just goes from here to here."
(His hands moving from low to high.)

I looked around and saw beer bottles, mom jeans, i walked in on a woman still singing the neil young song on the toilet, too intoxicated to lock the door, and was that a full length leather coat some one was wearing?
