Now would the scene have been at all frightening without those cacophonous organ notes? Certainly not.

...raucous singalong on Aha's Take on Me, our exhilarated group decided to extend the planned two-hour session to three. As Fox, an admitted "terrible singer," says: "It's about the natural high you get from singing." So book way in advance, as 250 divas-by-night regularly swell the joint to capacity.
