No self-respecting Australopithecine would be caught dead, singing Karaoke !
Just as real cowboys would rather eat Kisch than Line Dance, our hairy, humanoid harmonist, would rather have to walk on all fours, than to mouth meaningless melodies, in an off-key monotone, over a microphone !

You bastard! After reading this strip I was compelled to go find “Summer Days” on the internet and listen to it. (Pleasant bit of nostalgia, actually – but tough to hear first thing in the morning)
