I'm sure everyone can come up with a bevy of other songs Harem might "solo," especially with a few choice altered lyrics. You's and She's into Me's, etc. A few that pop to mind: I Touch Myself, Afternoon Delight, etc. Yeah, Harem makes no secret of her Suisapphism. She also does an excellent acapella "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
There is a party going on while all this jury rigged enchanting happens in one corner. The average super is exactly average when it comes to singing, meaning that karaoke night at Archon HQ is an atonal hellscape just like everyone other instance of karaoke that’s ever occurred. Before you disagree with me, take a moment to consider how much alcohol is usually consumed before and during the typical karaoke session. There’s only a few good singers on the team. Harem far above average. The thing that makes her exceptional, as Sydney points out, is her ability to accompany herself. Dabbler is also an incredible singer, as are most succubi, but as Decollette has pointed out in the past, Dabbler doesn’t have a lot of the standard succubus finishing school skills, so whenever Dabbler does sing, there tends to be side effects, like weird magic she can’t quite wrangle.
It's still daytime, (albeit late in the afternoon) so at least some of you might be wondering how Crimson is just casually hanging out there in the lounge. Well, she was already there from the prior evening, doing Council liaison stuff, and decided to hang out during the day since the meeting went late. Not that vamps can't move around during the day. The Council has windowless vans and drivers, for instance. They don't like traveling like that though, because they're one bad fender bender away from a shaft of daylight. I'm just saying it's possible. Also, while there are skylights in the ceiling of the lounge area, there's no direct sunlight on her, and presumably most vampires travel around with some pretty intense sunscreen in their purse, so she's fine unless the party moves out into the pool area before sundown.

If Harem's into chaphop, she could definitely mix up some pseudo-Edwardian rap lyrics in a barbershop quintet style. Mister B would be a salient reference, assuming he exists in the Grrlverse.
Eric Loken
To be fair, she is quite correct, that would completely fly as a record label.
Eric Loken
Heh... and I go down one post and see someone had already said it.

There's <u>nothing</u> wrong with barbershop; Sydney is just a snob. People who haven't heard good barbershop often denigrate it. Barbershop is actually an awesome artform that many people love. Done well, it's amazing. Think Pentatonix without the beat-boxing. Admittedly, done poorly it's back to karaoke night (and without the the backing instrumentals). There is some <u>excellent</u> stuff on the web. However, I mostly listen to men's groups, so I won't suggest any women's groups Harem could copy. Anyway, it is mostly a cover style - very little original music is composed for barbershop.

I love seeing "Disco Max" still popping off in the background.
Marc Vun Kannon
I love Sydney's facial expression in the last panel.
Doug Northcote
I think, if it's quiet out... you can hear the eye roll click in the last panel.

Imagine what she could do with Bobby McFerrin material.... ^___^

Suisapphism… “self-lesbianism”… Dude, they’re all her - it’s just complicated masturbation.
Dave Barrack
Sui – “self” as in suicide, which breaks down into “self” and “murder” Sapphism, as in sapphic. So, self lesbianism. Yes, I made the word up, but from existing word bits.
Richard Riley
Per the cast page, "each body is capable of totally independent action, she can perform multiple disparate and complex tasks simultaneously." And she should definitely be in Pitch Perfect!

I tried Googling "Suispappism" - it said "Did you mean: Suespuppies? It looks like there aren't many great matches for your search." Then it provided one link - this comic page.

What's wrong with barbershop?
James C
Not the Jackson 5?
Brett
I would suggest I Think I’m a Clone now by Weird Al. Perfect song for Harem.
James Domec
The arms in panel 2 are freaking me out.
Marc Vun Kannon
I would think that one mind would have a bit or trouble making multiple different notes come out of multiple mouths. Which one of them is the beat-boxer? Will she be in Pitch Perfect 4?
Justaguy
It can't be both?
FeyOne
I completely missed that detail until I read your comment and went back to look for her! It's fantastic!
Justaguy
(Very incomplete list) The Bangles Diana Ross and the Supremes. Martha & The Vandellas En Vogue Expose Wilson Phillips The Shirelles Destiny's Child TLC Pointer Sisters The Go-Go's Bananrama Expose I'm sure at least 5 people have said the Spice Girls by this point Girls Aloud Pussycat Dolls Wonder Girls (K-Pop) Little Mix Fifth Harmony The Body Snatchers Celtic Woman Lesbians on Ecstasy Cherri Bomb Dixie Chicks The Organ Poison Dollys Pussy Riot (may require speaking Russian) Screamin' Sirens Supercute And finally The Whoreshoes.
Thomas Dorner
Is that still debugging or are the having fun at Max's expenses? ;-)
Justaguy
Oooh, Rainbow Max.
Kizik Ucalegon
Rocketman, in the style of William Shatner, with each word spoken by a different Harem.
Michael Obert
Uh, Spice Girls? Hello, Lol. Harem's even got all the hair colors going on!
Christophe GABEL
I love multicolor Maxima in the background!
