For some (probably alcoholic) reason I was encouraged to sing Summer Nights (from Grease) with a female friend enthusiastically duetting the Olivia part.

This was in the Cul de Sac in Glasgow and they had some sort of karaoke band thing going.

In one of those nightmare-like scenarios it soon became very clear that "Olivia" didn't know any of the words to this ditty.

Thankfully the bass part in said song is pretty close to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling" and I managed to skillfully segue into that Righteous Brothers classic.

However the modicum of applause that greeted such virtuosity seemed to me to be rather mean for such an accomplishment and as the tumbleweed rolled in front of my teary eyes I saw Justin Currie from Del Amitri shake his head and leave the establishment.

Have any of the Word Collective disgraced themselves in front of their heroes?
