This is the most uplifting music video I've seen in my life. I now want to improve my friends' and colleagues' lie through the art of karaoke

His videos are so brilliant they always distract from his great songs.

You should have gone and checked it Twice, to lock it up and send it How could I know? How could I know you wanted more Than just to stay there, stay there? So I say [Chorus] I've been groovin' lately Have been movin', baby Karaoke now, baby I do, I do I've been groovin’ lately Have been movin’, baby Karaoke now, baby I do, I do Groovin' lately Have been movin’, baby Karaoke now, baby I do, I do I've been groovin' lately Have been movin', baby Karaoke, baby But I can’t make you sing I can't make you sing karaoke, babe

Just discovered after Ginger Root 2 months ago and everything song they make is a vibe❤🔥

[@chuju_hua1]

I listened to Loretta a few days ago, and I instantly fell in love with then.

[@Bamboozlerrrrr]

I laughed out loud seeing the cleaner from 'B4' peeking through the doorway, just to give the exact opposite reaction from last time. Great little detail!

So ecstatic to have been introduced to you guys by chance through The Last Dinosaurs. Even more so when I saw you guys in DC last week. You guys are some of the most creative artists out there. Your shows are an experience!
