| | To conclude: the eclectic and desperate efforts to sustain democratic postcommunist statehood vis-a-vis rashlike economic failures rocked a cradle the "Lithuanian Syndrome" was born in. | | | Is communism gone for ever despite the bizarre fallout of parliamentary elections in Lithuania, Poland and Hungary where former Communist Parties picked up the majority of seats? | | | And, after all, if coming parliamentary elections in Lithuania will give us the opposite result, should we take it as a trustworthy indication that the "contra-revolutionary" or leftist phase of the singing revolution reached its natural and happy ending? |

| | H-Net Review: Jeffrey S. Ravel on Singing the French Revolution: Popular Culture and Politics, 1787-1799 |
| | Further, after the August 1792 overthrow of the constitutional monarchy, it was the fraternal singing practices of the sans-culottes and the commercial opportunism of publishers anxious to cash in on patriotic sentiment which made song such a powerful revolutionary and republican force. | | | And, finally, during the Directory, both the government through the initiatives of the National Conservatory, and private citizens through less confrontational singing practices, tried to restore a social and cultural stability upon which the new republican polity could rest. | | | Their short-term failure, as Mason emphasizes, should not discredit the importance of directorial culture for an understanding of nineteenth-century republicanism. |

| | By this time, almost all revolutionaries praised singing as an ideal means to rouse republican enthusiasm. | | | As revolutionaries embarked on the republican experiment after the August overthrow of the monarchy, musical culture reached its zenith. | | | Meanwhile, republican celebrations of the sans-culottes raised the status of all kinds of "popular culture." Singing and song-writing were practiced widely. |

| | Song practice, then, was a public and a private activity that generated intimate connections between the public and the private spheres. | | | It appears during the revolution to celebrate the new American Constitution, the achievements of the National Assembly, the abolition of feudalism and for a provincial Hymn to Reason. | | | The tunes that helped to reinforce gender subversion in the private sphere in 1788 may well prove to act similarly in the public sphere after 1789. |

| | After a hard day at the office, the working stiff takes his band of associates over to the K-Club, where they all let loose their worries over soulful ballads. In these private rooms filled with smoke and drink, they unwind, and for a brief moment, become singing superstars. | | | As you might have guessed, the multiplayer is where it’s at, and it’s just tailor made for a party because it courts casual gamers in a non-threatening way. Everyone can open their mouth and sing a little, though usually their inhibitions have been to be loosened up a bit with some drinks. | | | If you’re not interested in being judged on your performance, Karaoke Revolution also includes a Free Singing mode. That way you can sing without getting scored, which is especially useful to the untalented or the wailers. |
