										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Even the biggest pop stars of the 1980s can agree: Karaoke bars are great. I had this idea to have an artist invite a bunch of her friends into a private karaoke room and perform one of her own songs, to see what it would sound and feel like to perform it with a weird MIDI track and botched lyrics. I can&#8217;t think of a song I&#8217;ve heard performed at karaoke more than &#8220;Eternal Flame&#8221; by the Bangles, so I asked the Bangles&#8217; own Susanna Hoffs (whom I met on the video I directed for Aimee Mann and Ted Leo&#8217;s band the Both) to give it a try. She was game, delivering an incredible performance of the song, answering a bunch of karaoke-related questions I asked her, and totally nailing the high note at the end!<br />
