My friends have become hooked on a place called "Sing Sing". It bills itself as a "dueling piano bar." Basically it's a couple of guys throwing out comic banter, banging out requests that the whole crowd sings along to. It's a good time, but it has its pitfalls. My friend Miriam summed it up nicely:

"The thing about SingSing is the jokes get old, but I really enjoy the requested songs. It's like your sitting there and then, "Oh, I love this song!" then you get to sing along."

Well said, Mirm. Jokes get stale, but still, there's nothing like belting out Don McLean's "American Pie" with 200 other people.
