You said, “Speak from your mind
The words that it finds
Come out of your soul, a part of the whole”
You said, “What does it change?
Both of us know

Maria…
The most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…
All the beautiful sounds of the world in a single word:
Maria, Maria, Maria, Maria…

What happens in dreams where we fly?
Never been as high as tonight
Staring through a window in time
For someone to show me what I’m like
He said, “Hello”, it’s like a …

Take me out and we’ll care about
Nothing real, nothing real, real at all1
Pick me up and we’ll make shit up
As we go, as we go, go along2
Take me out and we’ll karaoke
Tonight we feel famous, don’t we?3
Pick me up and we’ll make a movie
I’m acting like the world can’t hold me down, down, down4
They’ll never hold me down, down, down
We’ll pass the mic around, around, around, around5
Take me out and we’ll carry each other home
Through the lights, through the crowd6
Pick me up and we’ll make shit up
So it feels like it’s real here and now7
Take me out and we’ll karaoke
Tonight we feel famous, don’t we?
Pick me up and we’ll make a movie
I’m acting like the world can’t hold me down, down, down
They’ll never hold me down, down, down
We’ll pass the mic around, around, around, around
Take me out and we’ll care about
Nothing real, nothing real, real at all
Take me out and we’ll karaoke
Tonight we feel famous, don’t we?
Pick me up and we’ll make a movie
I’m acting like the world can’t hold me down, down, down
They’ll never hold me down, down, down
We’ll pass the mic around, around, around, around
Take me out and we’ll karaoke [2x]8
0Sean Scanlon, lead singer of Smallpools, wants to have a fun night out with his girl.
Sean Scanlon celebrates spontaneity and adventure.
Of course, being good at karaoke doesn’t win one real fame, but the high one feels when celebrated by strangers in a bar is still worth pursuing.
A night of fun enables one to forget his struggles.
There is something empowering about a group experience with karaoke. It has the ability to make people feel courageous, carefree, and accepted.
Although there may be no lights or crowd celebrating a good karaoke singer, the feeling of even minor forms of public praise is enough to lift one’s spirits.
The temporary illusion of popularity is just as good as actual fame in many cases. It creates an adrenaline rush worth savoring.
This song is about going out and having fun in a social setting, especially with karaoke.
