Dukat watched in amazement as Major Kira and Cmdr Dax turned to face their audience and music began to play. Kira started.
"I left a good job in the city..."
"Down in the city..." Dax echoed in a surprisingly deep voice.
"They do this song every time!" Quark complained.
"Just be thankful they haven't made you a back-up singer this time," Bashir remarked.
"Rollin' on the river..." Kira crooned
"Rooollin' on the riverrr...."
The music suddenly got faster and Kira yanked her microphone out of the stand.
"Oh I left a good job in the city, workin' for the man every night and day, and I never lost one minute of sleepin', worrying bout the way things might have been! Big wheels keep on turnin'!"
"Turnin'!"
"Proud Mary keeps on burnin'!"
"Burnin'!"
"Rollin'! Rollin'! Rollin' on the river!"

"I don't think I've ever seen you look quite so energetic, Major," he said faintly. She smiled sweetly.
"Well, now it's your turn."
He snapped up. "Excuse me?"
"Go on, Dukat. It's your turn to pick a song," she said.
"I'm sorry to have given the wrong impression, Major, but I am merely here to observe," he stuttered.
"Nonsense, Dukat," Sisko boomed. "There's no such thing as an 'observer' at a karaoke!"
Before he could stop them, Sisko, Miles and Bashir had pushed him onto the stage.
"I must object, Captain!" he said.
"Objection noted. Now pick a song and get on with it. Doctor, you're after Dukat."
Panicking slightly , Dukat walked slowly over to the computer and scanned through the song-list...
