Porn and karaoke. This may not sound like the most natural match-up in the world, but believe me, they're two great tastes that taste great together. And nobody understands this better than San Francisco bar owner/circus freak/Burning Man veteran Chicken John, who created the fledgling art form and has channeled into two distinct media—live performances and video.  The live performances, held at underground art spaces around the city, are nothing short of inspired, orchestrated insanity. Filipino trannies and drunken buffoons perform back-to-back renditions of cheesy Whitney Houston and George Michael classics. Peals of laughter fill the space as folks who'd be skewered by American Idol's Simon belt out their raucous renditions over some of the most, umm, interesting "vintage" porn films that Chicken John can find.While John swears that the videos aren't edited for maximum effect, there's no doubt that sometimes magic occurs and lightning strikes as the lyrics of a song and the sexy on-screen scenarios match up in moments of uncanny synchronicity. According to John, it takes more than just any average pornmeister to set up a Porn-E-Okie live show, so you kids don't try this at home, leave it to the experts. "You need to be a bit of a tech type," he said. "There are problems that you have to fix on the fly, so in that way, I'm a porn technician." Somebody get that man an union. In addition to the live shows, which have also been staged in Brooklyn, Chicken John is now selling videos chock full of bizarre and novel old porn clips, all set to the music of hits like Pat Benatar's "Hit Me With Your Best Shot" and (file under irony) Madonna's "Like A Virgin."  The videos, available in DVD and VHS formats, put a whole new spin on Porn-E-Okie, allowing for maximum juxtaposition of song and sex. Sure, nothing beats watching trannies belt it out live and in the flesh (not to mention gawdy transparent high heels), but here you have the opportunity to experience genius in the privacy of your own home/garage/rural shack.But Chicken John won't stop there—he isn't satisfied with anything less than Total Global Domination, natch. "I'm gonna build a web site so that people can stream it and do it in their own homes or at parties," threatens John. "Everyone loves it!" And how could they not?
