Repeat after me: "LIGHTEN UP, Y'ALL...."

Naked karaoke angers neighbors

I suppose this is when you find out who has a sense of humor. If you live in Berlin, CT, the answer would seem to be NO ONE.

BERLIN, Connecticut (AP) -- You'll need to strip yourself of more than your inhibition and bare more than your soul if you want to take part in karaoke at the Berlin Station Cafe.

Cafe owner Marty St. Pierre says he was just kidding around when he advertised "Naked Karaoke" in front of his bar. Then he got volunteers. Lots of them.

"It honestly started out as a joke," he said. "But there were people signing up, so I just let it run."

But not everyone warmed up to the idea.

The cafe's neighbors called Town Hall to complain, and town authorities went to warn St. Pierre he could face fines or arrest if he operated the naked musical performance without a permit required under a town ordinance.

Of course, if nothing else, the cafe just got a ton of free publicity, eh? Damn, and I was SO looking forward to singing....
