Earnhardt Jr. said he and his wife visited a place named Bobby's Monkey Bar in Key West quite often. But on one occasion, he said he got drunk, to the point where he got up and picked Fine Young Cannibal's Good Thing to sing. He said,

"It's a song I like, but not something that's on my favorite playlist. But dude, I am not joking and Amy you back me up here, I get up there to sing this song and I'm instantly regretting this choice when I stand on stage."

This prompted Amy to claim that he didn't seem like he regretted it based on how he was dancing and working the stage at that moment.

She said it was 'amazing', and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was 'drunk enough' to do it a few times instead of it being a one-man show or a one-time deal. He clarified that even though he's karaoked before in front of his friends and family, his Bobby's Monkey gig was the first time he'd done 'legit karaoke' at a bar.
