noun

  1. Synonym of karaoke (“form of musical entertainment”).““Generously coated in candy-colored skulls and psychedelic scenes of suffering,” the videoke machine, as Manila-based pop critic Alice Sarmiento describes it, plays a loop of a “muzak rendition” of Sinatra's anthem, its lyrics superimposed over video and tabloid headlines about the killings "with the words going up in flames as the song played."”
