After surveying every prominent karaoke host in town to find out what the best new song of the year is (based on frequency of request), “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore was the near-unanimous response. I’ve yet to have the privilege of seeing it performed, but judging by its extreme difficulty level and given my near-20 years of experience witnessing performers stumble through any rap that isn’t “Ice Ice Baby,” I feel confident saying it may also be the hands-down winner of the most annoying karaoke song of the year.
