Phoenix and Maya: going HOG WILD on the classic Disney back catalog and all the best duets of the 80s.
Phoenix can actually sing quite well; he’s not going to have a side gig as a rock star but he was definitely good enough to be an actual singer at the Borscht Bowl Club instead of a shitty pianist if he’d wanted to
(he perhaps did not want to do something he actually cared about for money at that point in his life)
Maya cannot sing for SHIT but by God she’s not going to let that stop her
they do a great “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and take turns with who takes which role (Meg or the Muses) on “(I Won’t Say) I’m In Love”
they also do “Friends on the Other Side” because they think they’re funny
only in the first half of the evening, though, otherwise they end up kind of weepy drunk about it
If Miles is there: Phoenix will, at some point near the end of the evening, break out an incredibly sappy dad rock ballad. absolutely everyone can tell what’s going on, he’s not even trying to be subtle about it.
like, we’re talking “Faithfully” by Journey and “Just the Way You Are” by Billy Joel levels of sappy
I find it hard to picture a karaoke bar in Japanifornia having “Long Time Running” by the Tragically Hip in its repertoire but if I remember that this is a goofy tumblr post and there are no gods or kings, he would absolutely do that too, and if he did, Miles would break sufficiently to kiss him in front of all of their employees
Miles does actually come to karaoke a lot but he absolutely does not sing, he’s just here to be an appreciative audience.
on exactly one occasion, he’s been successfully dragged up to the mic. it took the combined forces of
Maya Fey
the absence of anyone who works for him
the Steel Samurai theme song
the extremely incorrect assumption that a Long Island Iced Tea is to a regular iced tea as Irish coffee is to regular coffee
incidental PSA: It Is Not
the resulting video is an heirloom of the Fey clan and one of Phoenix Wright’s most precious possessions
