Tony loves Bryan Adams

I was standing around listening to a local Baganda band play at the bar last night and asked Tony* if karaoke was popular in Uganda. He unleashed his patented yuuuge Tony smile. Yes, yes it is. (Well, I double checked with my host family this morning to confirm and they said it was very popular...15 years ago. So maybe it's just Tony's group of friends. Doesn't matter...I'll still probably do it.)

*Tony is a young Rotary member (Rotaract) who has volunteered his time to show us around the city from time to time. Three things about Tony:
1) He loves Liverpool soccer 
2) He loves Lil' Wayne and Puff Daddy
3) He's publishing his own magazine

Anyway, after a couple more beers, I asked Tony about his standard karaoke song. He looks at the ground, clears his throat and looks like he's about to start singing. I'm excited about the possibilites, so I start to concentrate a little harder. Then he just starts singing:

To really......loveawoman
You gotta know her deep insiiiiide


Bryan Adams! No way. So naturally I joined him and started singing:

When you fiiiind yourself lying helpless.......in her arms

You know you reallllllly, love a wooooooman

We stop, laugh. I tell him good choice. He says, "You know Peter, you sing exactly like Bryan Adams! You do!" So I pulled a George Costanza and walked out on a high note. "Alright! That's it for me. Goodnighteverybody."
