Crazy Taxi

Late last night - after getting back from watching another shocking performance by Southampton FC - I was listening to Radio 5. They had an interesting piece on about a cabbie in Newcastle who had installed a "karaoke machine" in his cab. It had become hugely popular, with back seat divas now singing along rather than throwing up. What was really interesting were the songs mentioned - Elvis-Suspicious Minds, The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love. Ring any bells? Sounds like Sony's fabulous musical party game Singstar to me. What a great idea though. If it was a PS2 he'd installed in his cab- and they didn't say on the radio - then think of the options. Pro Evolution Soccer on the way home, or maybe passengers could compare driving skills over Gran Turismo. Crazy taxi indeed.
