Jack: Actually, it's quite interesting - do you know what "karaoke" means literally in japanese? Andy: yes... "Kara" - to annoy ... "oke" - as many people in a pub as humanly possible
And now we know Andy’s middle name…
Literally ‘empty orchestra’ if anyone wants to know. The first element is as in karate ‘empty hand’.
What’s the matter, Andy? Can’t stand the competition?
He’s not wrong :). I’ve also heard a joke (at least I think it was a joke) about “karaoke” being Japanese for “tone-deaf drunk with a microphone”.
