And fair warning: If you should find yourself at a karaoke bar with Devon at some point, prepare for an epic sing-off.

“You Know That I’m No Good” (Amy Winehouse)
“Monday Morning” (Fleetwood Mac)
“I Put a Spell on You” (Nina Simone)

Maloney – a native of El Segundo – is returning home to a media realm that on the karaoke front is frequented most enthusiastically by The Daily Beast’s Jen Yamato.
