Karaoke Killed The Colonel

from Hang Glider 2025 by Black Camaro

about

The Colonel is a mysterious figure. Is he real, or is it just fun to pronounce the word colonel? BG says it like "kernel", while Tom opts for the obnoxious pronunciation - call o nell. Together, they have created a character that has yet to reappear in Black Camaro lore. probably because he's dead. Or is he?

lyrics

feel the flame of the mic
on the back of the bike
kill the lights and the mic
might destroy all in sight

oh mama

there's one eye on the prize
and the other guy is looking
at the screen

what'd ya mean when you screamed
comin out the latrine
All I seen was your jeans
you got lost in the beams

of light

but the night isn't over
till the tender says there's no more Karaoke

then

the microphone was alone
(alone)
and the patrons drove their autos
(all home)
karaoke killed the colonel
(oh no)

dust yourself off
dust it off dust off dust
(I think he's dead, shit)
Yes, I think his status must have just busted
oh no!

There's no eye on the prize
and the tender says there's no more
karaoke

And the lights came on with the music on
with the music on then the lights came on
and the colonel moved his elbow
hell no!

so the old man stood up slowly
(holy shit)
for the fiery flame was flowing
(glowing)
and the song was sung
for the years to come
