Kilowog, after watching the Question chow through his peanut butter chili, gets a good idea for more distraction from the all the crazy post-near-world-death celebratory hookups going on

Dinah gets shoved to the front. "Hey!" she squawks. "Wait--hey--this isn't Japan! Participation isn't compulsory!" But the crowd urges her own, so she relents and takes the mike. "Okay. You asked for it."
Start spreadin' the news.... I'm leavin' today I wanna be a part of it-- New York! New York....
Dinah knows exactly where that applause originates, and it's not from Ray's sense of aesthetics. But she continues.
These vagabond shoes Are longing to stray And make a brand new start of it New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues Are melting away I'll make a brand new start of it In old New York If I can make it there I'll make it anywhere It's up to you, New York, New York.
As the applause for Dinah rolls out, Booker jumps up and grabs the mic, quickly looks through the song catalogue and makes his choice.
A party veteran knows that if you can dance, but can't really sing, the trick is to pick a talking-song and use some moves to get you through, so...
*ahem*
He raises the mic to his mouth, and...
I want a girl with a mind like a diamond, I want a girl who knows what's best. I want a girl with shoes that cut and eyes that burn like cigarettes.
I want a girl with the right allocations, Who’s fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack. She’s playing with her jewelry, she’s putting up her hair! She’s touring the facilities And picking up slack!
I want a girl with a short skirt, and a loooooooooong jacket.
He keeps it up, adding a few moves with each verse.
He's also very much trying not to look and see if Kara is watching him, because, come on. Not cool.
I want a girl who gets up early, I want a girl who stays up late. I want a girl with uninterrupted prosperity, Who uses a machete to cut through red tape.
With fingernails that shine like justice, And a voice that is dark like tinted glass. She is fast, thorough, and sharp as a tack - She’s touring the facilities and picking up slack!
I want a girl with a short skirt and a long, long jacket!
"Geez," Jakeem complains. "Old people songs." This means that the adults' attention is more on the stage than on the food which is good, but still his musical sensibilities are offended ... at least until a thought occurs to him, and he waves the Thunderbolt over to whisper a request in his ear.
The genie looks startled and then nods, and the microphone glows pink for a second. Suffice to say that the next to pick up the microphone will not be singing what they think they'll be singing ...
Mischeif managed, Jakeem heads off to hit the food again.
Ray stumbles a bit as he gets up on stage, humming something Sinatra-sounding, but as he grabs the mic there is suddenly a SCREECH as if a needle was being dragged across a turntable, and then Ray starts RAPPING:
Where he at! Where he at! Where he at! Where he at!
There he go! There he go! There he go! There he go!
Peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly! Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat! Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!
Now, break it down and freeze! Now, break it down and freeze!
Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat! Do the peanut butter jelly, peanut butter jelly, Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat!

These vagabond shoes
Are longing to stray
And make a brand new start of it
New York, New York
I want to wake up in the city that never sleeps
To find I'm king of the hill, top of the heap
These little town blues
Are melting away
I'll make a brand new start of it
In old New York
If I can make it there
I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New York.
Man, I suck at this....

The Question stayed with the chili Kilowog left him with, still eating. And listening. This would be beneficial for black mail later, surely.
