Becca: You pick a song and then sing it in front
of a bunch of drunken fools who are cheering you
on.
Papaw: Pick a song and then sing it? Any song?
Becca: It has to be on the song list. But Louie
Louie's has a really good selection.
Papaw: What are you gonna sing?
Becca: Probably "In the Flesh" by Blondie.

Dagwood.
Derek: I'll sing "How Did I Get Myself Into this
Mess?" by The Only Sane One in the Bunch.
