LP-02 · The living room

  • All ages
  • Kids pick first
  • No karaoke version needed

Everybody picks. Everybody sings.

The kid picks the movie song. Grandpa picks Motown. Only one of them ever had a karaoke version, and that was the whole problem with family karaoke night.

lyricspin skips it. Play the original from the turntable, the TV or a Bluetooth speaker, and the words scroll in time for the whole room. No karaoke version? Sing the real one.

Side A · 01 — Run the night

How to run it.

  1. Put the words on the big screen

    Prop a tablet by the TV, or cast the browser tab to it, so nobody's huddled around one phone and everyone can read verse two from the couch.

  2. Kids pick first

    Go around the room, youngest first, no vetoes. Yes, that includes the fourth encore of the movie song. Grown-ups pick the record.

  3. Let a whole side run

    Drop the needle on an album side and lyricspin follows it track to track, hands-free. Instant setlist, and nobody has to reach for a phone.

The night

Side A · 04 — Questions

Before you pass the mic.

What do we need for karaoke night at home?
Something that plays music (a TV, a turntable, a speaker), a phone or tablet with lyricspin open nearby, and ideally an inexpensive karaoke mic or two. That's the whole kit: no karaoke subscription, no special versions of songs.
Is it OK for kids to use?
Yes. There's no account, no chat, no uploads and nothing to download. It's a web page that listens to the music and shows the words. The lyrics are the real lyrics, so pick songs the way you would for a car ride.
What if a song has no karaoke version?
Doesn't matter. lyricspin works with the original recording, so if the song exists, it can go on the setlist.

Side B · 01 — Another night

Tonight's setlist: anything.

Any song, any speaker, no karaoke version required. Free, no login, right in your browser.
