A bar in Baltimore | Friday Night

Diego was a pretty simple guy. He didn't require anyone to go all out for a bachelor party, which was why he was fairly confident Luther could pull it off without it being a complete disaster.

There was a bar. There was karaoke at said bar, and the added benefit of there being arcade games at said bar. Perfect way to get a bunch of dudes hammered the night before a good chunk of them had to leave on a trip overseas.

[For the dudes who better get off their ass and sing. ~~Hold for some OCD~~ We're good to go!]

You will not be judged here on your music choices or your singing ability, I promise.

Klaus had known he was going to have to kick this off, and he was going to kick it off with a classic.

"This one's for you up in heaven, ONJ!"

MM wasn't actually a bad singer. He was, in fact, pretty damn good. (This was another area where everyone should be grateful that neither Butcher nor Hughie was invited; no one needed that, least of all poor Billy Joel.)

It had taken him a few moments with the catalog before he decided -- as a man very secure in himself -- to go with something he sang a lot in the car.

Luther went next, choosing some sweet, sweet Bryan Adams to sing.

A Canadian treasure, that man.

Yes, it was 100 percent a cliché, but you couldn't invite a Navy dude to a karaoke party and not expect a reenactment of ~~Top Gun~~ So Many Ways to Be Court-Martialed's You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.

Turned out that Steve could actually sing, too.

Did Danny have to whistle at him? No, not at all. But it was happening.

Was Steve going to use this opportunity--and the freedom that many, many shots granted him--to make a complete ass of himself and Danny? Of course he was. "And this is for my boo--"a word he would never use to describe Danny at any other time in his life, EVER, "--because they love the classics. And also for that stripper in Bali."

Now you get Pour Some Sugar on Me. Enjoy.

"Love you too, babe," Danny shouted over the music.

Well, Five had enough to drink in order to get up on stage for a truly classic German song.

Well obviously Klaus would be the one whistling and clapping for Five, and throwing in a couple of German words that didn't make much sense but were said in a celebratory tone.

Speaking of being a cliche, Steve, there was the New Jersey native up there, singing Bruce Springsteen.

It was a law, okay? An actual law.

"Now do Bon Jovi!"

Steve, don't encourage this.

Viktor would be taking on the Billy Joel tonight--sucks to suck, Hughie Campbell.

Look, the option was right there. Of course Steven was going to take shameless advantage of the joke.

Watts, supportive boyfriend that he was, clapped enthusiastically as Steven finished singing.

Which was extremely supportive given that Steven and staying on key had had something of an intermittent relationship just then. But Steven thought he did great. He smiled proudly at Llewellyn for both the accomplishment and the support.

Could Frenchie have chosen something in English? Mais oui, and he very nearly requested some Wham, but in the end -- he had his tastes, they were something of a trademark, and he could absolutely destroy with some Sexion d'Assault.

After handing his phone to MM to record, of course. Frenchie was doing the filming as far as everyone else went. The bride had requested it, you know.

You guys ready for some of the worst singing you've heard in your life? Too bad if you weren't, because Diego was going next.

Annie clearly had the singing talent in the relationship.

MM was drunk enough by now to not only applaud heartily -- this was the groom, everyone, and it was important the entire bar knew that -- but to go one step further and hook two fingers in his mouth to whistle at the conclusion of Diego's song.

"Best thing you could've sung, man." And most hilarious.

(And Frenchie was already working on sending the video to Annie, who would treasure it for all of time.)

Well, thanks to Annie, Watts actually had a song all picked out and ready to go. And for anyone who might be wondering? He had a pretty nice singing voice.

Steven? Charmed. It took a moment after the song finished for him to remember to clap, given that he was watching Llewellyn with pride.
