YouTube Karaoke is a collection of flash music videos and lyrics. As the name implies a lot of our original content came from YouTube. Unfortunately, due to Google's increasing censorship of YouTube, we now have to get our content from a variety of different places. The idea is that you press play, scroll to the lyrics, sing and be merry. Alcohol and audience are optional! To request a video email us (see sidebar).
Some of the sharper members of our audience have noticed that if you scroll and sing you lose sight of the video. If this bugs you that much feel free to just enjoy the videos instead of scrolling!

Orinoco Flow - Enya

Blurb:
In 1988 Irish singer Enya released the single "Orinoco Flow" (which is often incorrectly referred to as "Sail Away," a phrase repeated during the chorus. The US version of the single and the album cut are called "Orinoco Flow (Sail Away)"), which reached #1 on the UK singles chart for three weeks in October 1988.

In 1998 a special edition 10th anniversary remix single was released. The song was highly popular in the early ’90s and was featured on many pop music compilations. The song "Out Of The Blue" was also released as "Portrait (Out Of The Blue)" on other albums.

The division of syllables to follow the pattern of music may trick the listener into thinking that the song is written in Latin (as some Enya tracks are), but the lyrics are in fact English. At the end of the song she namechecks Warner Brothers Music UK CEO Rob Dickins and makes a more veiled reference to producer Ross Cullum.

Recently the group Celtic Woman has resurrected this song with their own arrangement.



Scroll and Sing:
Let me sail, let me sail
Let the Orinoco flow
Let me reach
Let me beach on the shores of Tripoli
Let me sail, let me sail
Let me crash upon your shore
Let me reach
Let me beach far beyond the yellow sea

Sail away, sail away, sail away,
Sail away, sail away, sail away,
Sail away, sail away, sail away

From Bisau to Palau
In the shade of Avalon
From Fiji to Tiree
And Isles of Ebony
From Peru to Cebu
Hear the power of Babylon
From Bali to Cali
Far beneath the coral sea

----VOCAL HARMONICS----

Sail away, sail away, sail away,
Sail away, sail away, sail away,
Sail away, sail away, sail away

From the north to the south
Ebudae into Khartoum
From the deep sea of clouds
To the island of the moon
Carry me on the waves
In the lands I've never been
Carry me on the waves
In the lands I've never seen

We can sail, we can sail
With the Orinoco flow
We can sail, we can sail
Sail away, sail away, sail away
We can steer we can near
With Rob Dickens at the wheel
We can sigh
Say goodbye Ross and his dependencies
We can sail, we can sail

Sail away, sail away, sail away
We can sail we can sail
