Went to dinner tonight. Happened to be Karaoke night. I sang Lola Kinks. Whats your go-to?.......


For normal occasions, I do a pretty good Janis Joplin's "O Lord, won't you buy me a Mercedes-Benz?". Around Christmas, I do a very good "Barking Dogs Jingle Bells". Seriously, I am very good at that one. One develops these talents when one has a young son who finds most amusing those things that irritate his mom.
 
You sing "Lola" for karaoke and you admire the physiques of Ohio State wrestlers...............

What are you postulating?

"Send In The Clowns" by Judy Collins but only if I know members of our BOT are in the audience.
The lryics "Don't bother they're here" are sung fortissimo.

Your post and the word fortissimo reminds me of the correct pronunciation of the word 'forte', which is 'fort', not 'fortay', when describing a strength.

'Forte' (fort) is a French word meaning strength or strong trait or ability.
'Forte' (fortay) is an Italian word meaning loud (see fortissimo and fair's meaning).

Unfortunately, the term became extremely popular about twenty years ago. Virtually no one gets it right, not even KIA, unless they're identifying their Forte ( Fortay) model as a loud vehicle.

Your screen name befits you.

I battle with people all the time over the pronunciation of Forte.

Good job
