Step 1: Get partners
Get a talented person or two to sing with you, so you can mostly just mouth the words. Or find someone loud enough to drown you out entirely.

Step 2: Keep it simple
If you’re on your own, begin by narrowing down potential songs by complexity. Look for a simple verse-chorus-verse structure and a reasonable tempo.TipDown a shot before you take the stage—alcohol is a time-honored inhibition-reducer.

Step 3: Stick to the middleStick to songs that are sung mostly in the middle of the standard vocal range, with as little variation as possible. In other words, stay away from tunes by Mariah “I Can Shatter Glass with My Vocal Cords” Carey.

Step 4: Rap it up
For an easy way out, pick a rap song, or anything that is more spoken than sung, like “These Boots Are Made for Walkin’.” It’s kind of cheating, but what do you care?
TipFavor songs whose lyrics you know. Yes, karaoke machines show you the words as you go along, but this way you can concentrate on your pitch and tone.

Step 5: Consider weird songs
Consider weird songs. If no one really knows how a song should go, they won’t know you’re massacring it.

Step 6: Keep it short
Keep it short and sweet—three minutes of bad singing is less likely to get you pelted with lime garnishes and maraschino cherries than six.

Step 7: Have fun
Most important, have fun. And don’t worry about the audience—if people wanted real music, they would have gone to a jazz club.

The new music video features choreography based around 2009 K-pop hit “Abracadabra” by Brown Eyed Girls

The music video for “Gentleman,” released Saturday morning (April 13), follows a similar style to “Gangnam” and its much-loved antics.

“Gentleman” has an added sexual twist. Despite the new single being titled “Gentleman” the video showcases the K-pop king being anything but. He’s pulling chairs out from beneath beautiful women, making little kids cry and attempting to pull off sunbathing girls’ tops. That is, until popular and sexy K-pop singer Ga In shows up in a body-hugging football outfit. Now, the tables are turned on PSY who is having chairs pulled out from underneath him.

Ga In is a member of popular K-pop girl group Brown Eyed Girls who also has her own successful solo career–her single “Bloom” peaked at No. 2 on the K-Pop Hot 100 in October and latest single “Brunch” just debuted at No. 36 this week. She is PSY’s new co-star a la HyunA (a member of girl group 4minute and solo star herself) in “Gangnam Style.”

The subtle hip-shaking choreography featured throughout “Gentleman” is actually homage to her group’s mammoth 2009 hit “Abracadabra.” The single helped usher in a wave of electro-pop to Korea with its slick production, vocal-distorting effects topped off with a sugary sweet catchy hook. PSY had previously teased that Koreans knew the main dance move of the video very well and “Abracadabra” has stood the test of time as a major hit in the ever-changing K-pop culture.

Will it break the view count for “Gangnam Style”? Several months will need to go by prove that, but with over 50,000 attending his concert in Korea tonight and around 150,000 watching via a YouTube stream, there’s definitely no lack of hype for PSY’s new single.
