Webster's Collegiate Dictionary(Tenth Edition:1993)上说：karaoke一词从1982年开始在美国报刊上频繁出现。它的解释是: a device that plays instrumental accompaniments for a selection of songs to which the user sings along and that records the user's singing with the music. （一种播放一些歌曲乐器伴奏的装置，用户可以随之演唱，并可以把演唱和音乐同时录下。）
Random House Unabridged Dictionary(1993) 的解释是: an act of singing along to a music video, esp. one from which the original vocals have been electronically eliminated. （一种随音乐录影带演唱的活动，特别是原唱被电子方法消除的录影带。）
