(AUDIO) Waterloo Revival Counts On Prince For Great Karaoke

Waterloo Revival would love it if their latest single, “Bad for You,” became so well known that it became a popular choice in karaoke bars, but for now, George says if he ever steps up to the mic for karaoke, his go to song is definitely “Purple Rain” by Prince. George says he loves to sing that song because, “It’s one song that kinda kicks in, everybody’s like, ‘Man, I know I’ve heard this before, but then I can’t think of it’, and then when the chorus hits the whole place is singin’ along. So, it’s a homerun for sure.”

For now, Waterloo Revival won’t have much time for karaoke, because they’re busy singing their own songs on tour through mid-November. You can see a list of their tour dates here.
