Two songs are essential for any memorable karaoke night in Missoula: Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville" and The B-52s' "Loveshack." Guess where you'll find both, with stiff pours and a crowd to clap for even your worst rendition? As far as Best of Missoula voters are concerned, Solid Sound Karaoke at the Bowl Dog Lounge is the answer. Tom Scheidecker puts together a great set list from the pool of patrons brave enough to put their names on a slip. And who knows? Maybe the timid one in the group will prove a vocal Neil Diamond in the rough. Bowl Dog Lounge: 1615 Wyoming St; 721-5263; missoulabowling.com
