I was amused to find out recently that two of Kate's songs
are on a standard distribution disk used in many Laser Karoake
widgets which you see popping up in bars everywhere....

The two songs are: _Wuthering Heights_, and _Babooshka_.

Babooshka, I can kind of understand, straightforward singing,
or as straightfoward as Kate gets, and a reasonable range....

However, Wuthering Heights baffled me. I honestly can't
see anybody who doesn't have Kate's tonal qualities and control
could do it reasonably, by any stretch of the imagination. And,
listening in for a while that night, and even getting up to do
one myself, I can say first-hand that the significantly greater
percentage of people singing at those have no tone, and can
rarely carry a tune in a bucket...

Anyways...Just for your information and amusement.
