I have no control over the person with the mic the first time, I do for the second.
At my bar gigs, I ask them not to, if the song has cursing in it, I will know when it is allowed as it is my music. Most places appreciate, my style. I work a bar on Saturday, another KJ works it on Thur and Fri. The folks wanting cleaner, and mellow come on Saturday. No bar is ever totall free of it.

I try my best to control it for the place and time.

I try to limit it to some songs, now some of the songs that have explicit lyrics have been pulled off my songlist. Most of the private service organizations(American Legion, VFW etc.)have policies that prohibit
profanity, and the one lounge that I have is a family restaurant first, lounge second, which means no bad words.

If someone gets out of hand, it is easy enough to press the mute button on the mixer, and let that person know that one chance is all you get, otherwise you are done for the evening period!

Plus I go over the ground rules at least a few times during the night. So noone can say I didn't warn you.

I’m not the profanity police. I have nearly 42,000 songs and, unfortunately I don’t know the lyrics to all of them. If I am working a club then it’s an over 21 crowd anyway. If the management wants a customer to stop then they can tell them that. If a private party has an issue with what their guests are singing then I politely inform them that there is no rating system on the karaoke disks. I then offer them the microphone to inform THEIR guests of any rules they may have.

Dick,
Who sings that and where is it available. I can't seem to locate it anywhere, what manufacturer is it?

Not Dick, but the song I think he is talking about was by Big Al Carson. Written on the fly one night when a drunk wasen't willing to leave the bar.

I don't know of it ever being released in Karaoke though.
