Wrote this not long after being bitten by the karaoke bug. The crowd eats it up wherever I go. :)
I've included a few tips at the bottom for those who'd like to do this at their local karaoke spot. (Just be sure to give me proper credit, as I'll always do whenever I use a song from this site.)

Tips for singing this song at karaoke:
1. Before you even start, point out that you're about to do a parody song (especially if you're a guy, or you'll get plenty of funny looks when the actual song title comes up )
2. Sing the line "tone-deaf condition" in a different key and/or in a monotone.
3. Keep incorrect time on the line "I can't even keep correct time" (I just slow it down a bit, but not too much or you'll run into the next line)
4. Sing the line "I'd Walk 500 Miles" in the appropriate Proclaimers accent (Scottish, right?).
5. Add a little emphasis on the "Shania Twain!" line (just to give her props).
6. Go falsetto on the line "She Drives Me Crazy" (a la Fine Young Cannibals)
7. The "Woo! Hee hee!" at the end is sung in the style of Michael Jackson (Don't forget the crotch-grab!)
8. Don't be afraid to screw it up a bit. That's sort of the point, isn't it? And if you can't sing to save your life, hey, that'll make it even funnier!
9. Personally, I've found that the key of the music track is not quite in my comfort zone. When I've tried going up an octave, my voice tends to crack on the choruses, which makes it funnier, sure, but is damned rough on my voice! But if I go lower, the verses become almost inaudible, especially if the sound system sucks. After a few times I tried a compromise: I went high on the verses and low on the choruses. In some cases, if you ask the person running the show, they can slightly adjust the pitch for you. But if you have to pick one or the other, it's funnier to go higher (which just gives more meaning to the line "really strain my voice").
10. Have fun, good luck, and let me know how you do!
