Craig Robinson: "My Karaoke Go-To Number, Saturday at Midnight, Crowd Is Hot, and Drunk, and Hungry..."

You've seen Craig Robinson in The Office, Knocked Up, Zack & Miri Make a Porno, and Hot Tub Time Machine, just to name a few of his myriad appearances on the big and small screen. Before he brings his stand-up routine and band, the Nasty Delicous, to the Neptune on January 12, Robinson took a few minutes to answer the questions in our Reverb Questionnaire.

Here's what he told us about Nirvana, dancing with Prince, and Susan Sarandon:

What music have you been listening to today? Did you like it?

I am currently in Rio de Janeiro and I have been listening to a tune called "Funk", and it is awesome.  They play it here for like an hour while other songs play over it.  I love it.

What's your preferred method for listening to music (iPod, car, home stereo, etc.)?

I love my iPod Nano, or whatever it's called. It's the itty bitty one that fits in a watch.

When was the last time you heard "Stairway to Heaven"? Did you turn it off?

Ummmmm.....like 3 weeks ago at, no that was "Dream On." I last heard "Stairway to Heaven" at a bar in Hollywood like a year ago and it was on the radio so I couldn't turn it off.  I left.

Do you play an instrument?

I play the piano. And I play it well

Do you still listen to anything you were listening to in high school? If so, what?

I still listen to a lot f music I listened to in high school including Prince ("Do Me Baby"), DeBarge ("In A Special Way"), and Justin Bieber ("Baby").

What was the first band/artist you saw in concert? Would you see them again?

First band I saw was the Jackson 5. And hell yes I would see them again except for...never mind.

What was the last band/artist you saw in concert? Worth your time?

Last band I saw was my band, the Nasty Delicious, and it was so worth my time I became a groupie!!! Then things got awkward and I went back to bandleader.

When you sing karaoke, what's your go-to number?

My karaoke go-to number, Saturday at midnight, crowd is hot, and drunk, and hungry..."Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana. Fuhgettaboutit!!!!

How do you feel about ABBA?

I've got two words for ABBA..."Dancing Queen." I really like that song.

What is the last song you want to hear before you die?

Last song before I die..."Windmills of Your Mind" by Michel LeGrand. Now every time I hear it I'm probably going to look around nervously.

Please share a favorite musical moment/story from your past.

I went to see Prince 5 times at the Forum in Los Angeles. On the last show I attended one of his singers, Shelby, pulled me up on stage (there were probably 40 other people as well) and I danced onstage with her and Susan Sarandon and Prince's dancers who are known as the Twins. Because they are twins. And I have video to prove it!!

Last Question: If you had a hot tub time machine, when, where, and who would you go back to, and how do you envision the situation unfolding?

If I had a hot tub time machine, I would go to the Neptune in Seattle, Jan 12, 2012 and rock the balls off the joint.
