Apparently, NY Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has an off-season regimen that includes Bon Jovi songs and late nights with Lance Bass.
Bass and Sanchez hooked up for a karaoke duet at the Canal Room in NYC this past weekend.
The two busted out a version of “Livin’ on a Prayer” — and we’re told it was actually pretty good.

There’s a photo in the TMZ post, for any disbelievers. It looks exactly what you’d think it would look like when Mark Sanchez and Lance Bass sing karaoke together.
Someone needs to school the young quarterback in karaoke music choices. Somehow, and given ‘N SYNC’s music I don’t know why this is, I actually would have assumed Lance Bass had better taste than that. I’ll hold out hope that they were doing it ironically, like even moreso than how most karaoke is performed ironically.
Sanchize: Next time, choose Wham’s “Careless Whisper.” Trust me, it’s surprisingly easy to sing, and inarguably hilarious. Guilty feet have got no rhythm.

Please, those “cliched” songs usually are the best at 2AM when everyone is hammered and the entire Karaoke bar is singing along. Of course, I suppose no one else frequents Chinatown dive Karaoke bars.
That tune by Mr Jon Bon Jovi is my go-to for Karaoke. This originated when I lived in Germany, and everyone there assumed that because I was from New Jersey, I should be a huge Bon Jovi fan. It escalated from there.
One bit of hilarity… Volkswagen actually produced a “Bon Jovi” edition of the Golf back around 2000. No joke. Bon Jovi edition. They sold like Pfannkuchen.
Ted, I’m with you. I can’t support Bon Jovi for karaoke at all, regardless of the level of irony. Because let’s face it. No one sings Bon Jovi earnestly. Not even Jon Bon Jovi.
I would also like for once to be in a karaoke bar where some one picks a Journey song other than “Don’t Stop Believin'”. Not only is it incredibly over played, no one can actually emulate Steve Perry. Don’t try. And if you are going to pick a Journey song, at least try something different. “Open Arms”. “Lights”. Hell, even “Separate Ways”. You’ll screw it up, but at least it’ll be different.
And personally, I am on the hunt for a karaoke bar that has Bobby Brown’s “On Our Own” on their playlist. I would never leave.
I was in a band that ironically covered Don’t Stop Believing in 2003, before it came back into vogue for whatever weird reason. I sang, but I could not imitate Steve Perry. Also we had to do it near the end of our set because it put such a strain on my vocal chords that I couldn’t really sing anything after that (or before that, but that’s a different point). But yes, “Lights” is always a better choice. That’s a hilarious song.
I support any song that gives you a chance to pronounce the word “city” like “ci-taaay”. So “Lights” qualifies, as does “Living for the City” by Stevie Wonder.
Oh man, a karaoke version of Livin’ for the City would be pretty hilarious if you also did all the dialogue in the middle, where the kid goes to jail and whatnot.
