Doesn't look like its available anywhere, not in my collection or as you said on sunfly etc. Could email sunfly and ask if its due to be made anytime soon?

It's definitely out there because I've had guys sing it in the bad old days when I did karaoke. I'm thinking it was Sunfly or that mob that did the psychdelic tie die background s?

I haven't got this track in my karaoke collection and I've been collecting karaoke since the "sport" first hit the UK all those moons ago!!! My collection includes some harder to find tracks (seeing as a lot of my discs are imports) so it's quite unusual for me to not have a track or at least not be able to source a track.

I've checked the libraries of all the usual suspects in case I've missed something and I can't find it there, either. Maybe the one Jim saw was a custom-made track, perhaps?

Okay, that's the "forum-alities" out of the way (see what I did there?? ;) ) let's get on with the discussion!

I've had a look at the YouTube link and it looks like it's a DIY karaoke track. I've certainly not heard of "ALFBIO67" as a karaoke manufacturer in all my years as a karaoke enthusiast. I'm not saying that DIY karaoke is a bad thing - I've been known to make my own tracks for personal use in the past - but it would be safer for a commercial KJ to obtain the track from a reputable manufacturer/retailer to be certain that all the appropriate copyright permissions are in place.

Also, I cannot find anywhere that this particular version is actually for sale. The only way I can see a KJ being able to use this track is to either stream it direct over the internet from YouTube or download the video from YouTube which is strictly forbidden.

All in all, I think it would be a much better idea to approach the manufacturers and ask for them to consider making an official, legal karaoke version with all the relevant licences in place.

UPDATE:

I've just Googled "ALFBIO67" and the results I've gotten aren't good, I'm afraid. I've found that his karaoke is described as "KARAOKES MADEHOME" and a lot of them are hosted on / linked to by sites that UK ISPs have been ordered to block. I'm allowing the link to YouTube simply because of YT's credibility and we're presuming that the video has passed YT's checks. Whilst fine for home use, I'd strongly urge sourcing these tracks elsewhere for commercial purposes.
