I’m your karaoke host and your guide on this musical journey tonight. [singing] We’re going riding on the freeway of love! [speaking] We gotta get some people up here tonight. I love the sound of my own voice, but tonight I’m here to service you.
[Pam and Paul are sitting together at a table]
Paul: Oh, I’m having such a great time, Pam.
Pam: Me, too, and, uh, well, I have a surprise for you.
M.J.: Okay, next up we have Pam. Pam is on a special date, and she wants to sing a song to her special friend, Paul. Pam, are you ready?
Pam: I’m shy.
M.J.: It’s gonna be a blast.
Pam: But I’m so shy.
M.J.: I’ll help you if you need it.
Pam: Oh, all right. I’d like to try.
Paul: I can’t belive you are doing this. At work, you are so shy!
Pam: I know, I’m shy!
[Pam gets up and walks onto the stage]
M.J.: Okay, come on, let’s give Pam a hand, everybody.
[“Natural Woman” plays]
Pam: [singing] Looking out on the morning rain / I used to feel uninspired. / [Paul touches his heart with his hand] And when I knew I had to face another day…
M.J.: [singing] A-oop.
Pam: [singing] Lord it made me feel so tired. / [with M.J. singing “ooo-ooo-ooo”] Before the day I met you, life was so unkind.
Pam and M.J.: But you’re the key to my piece of mind. / [with M.J. much louder than Pam] ‘Cause you make me feel, / you make me feel, / [M.J. straddles Paul and does a back-bend] you make me feel like a natural woman. / [M.J. cuddles with Paul and continues to sing much more loudly than Pam] When my soul was in the lost and found, / you came along to claim it. / I did not know just what was wrong with me.
Paul: [singing, as M.J. puts the microphone in front of him] A-oop.
Pam and M.J.: ‘Til your kiss helped me name it.
Pam: Now I’m no longer doubtful of what I’m living for. / [she sings to an old man in the audience] And if you make me happy I don’t need to do more.
[M.J. gives her microphone to Paul and continues to cuddle with him as he stands]
Pam and Paul: ‘Cause you make me feel, / you make me feel, / you make me feel like a nautural woman.
[music ends]
M.J.: Oh, yeah, all right! Give it up for Pam, everybody. Hot stuff. Hot stuff.
[Pam sits back down with Paul at their table]
Paul: Wow, that was terific.
Pam: I couldn’t tell if you liked it.
Paul: Oh, no, I loved it. And this red-haired lady is very talented, too.
M.J.: Okay, next up, everybody, we have–
Pam: I want to go again. [she gets back on the stage] Number 102. [“Sexual Healing” plays] [singing] Baby, I’m hot just like an oven. / I need your loving. / [M.J. and Paul drink together] And when I get the feeling, / I need sexual healing.

[she hits the stereo controls and “Me So Horny” plays] [singing] Oh, me so horny. / Oh, oh, me so horny. / Ooh, me so horny. / Me love you long time. [M.J. and Paul are kissing] [music ends] [speaking] Whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah, whoah! You know what? I knew this was too good to be true. I mean, why would a spicy guy like you go with a white-bread, grilled-cheese sandwich like me, right? Everyone at the office told me you were just going out with me for a green card. But I guess I believed in love! Well, I’m calling INS tomorrow, and you are on a one-way flight back to Paraguay! So go suck an egg, bozo!
Paul: Oh, darling, wait, wait, wait.
M.J.: [getting up on stage] Hey, hey, guys, guys, let’s keep it positive, all right? Karaoke is about fun times with new friends. At least that’s what I tell my husband, right, honey?
Mr. Reynolds: [standing at the back of the room] Screw you, Mary Anne.
Paul: Pam, please, let me make it up to you. I want to sing a special song. The song that was playing the first time Pam and I made love. [“Take Me Out” plays] [singing] Take me out to the ballgame. / Take me out with the crowd.
Pam: We had sex in the bathroom at a Mets game.
Paul and Pam: [singing] Buy me some peanuts and crackerjacks.
Pam: I can’t stay mad at him!
