Thanks for posting that, Samir. That was good.

On the topic of live karaoke bands, in San Francisco there is this live karaoke band called The Amazing Embarrassonics. I went a few times and it was great. You pick a song from there huge book, get on stage and the band backs you up, even singing harmonies if necessary. They really get into it. From their My Space Page:

 "The Amazing Embarrassonic Human Karaoke Machine is an interactive rockstar fantasy experience that allows you to front a real, live, 3 piece rock band. They've got guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, a stage and a repertoire of over 500 songs, but without you they are nothing but a crappy jazz/fusion instrumental headache. Together for over 10 years, the band plays often at the El Rio in San Francisco's Mission district."

They aren't Ted Leo but, if you are in SF, it is good for some laughs.
