Your top ten songs to sing/sing along with

Not always the same as favorites! For me, more personal in some ways...

In random order:

1) Anything from "Abbey Road" (exact one varies, although currently "Octopus' Garden" is getting a workout as a lullabye).

2) Paul Simon, "The Cool, Cool River." I like singing a lot of stuff from his Graceland/Rhythm of the Saints period, but this one in particular for some reason.

3) CSN, "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes." I can never decide which harmony to do consistently though.

4) Righteous Brothers, "You've Lost that Loving Feeling." Although I occasionally sing other lyrics...

5) The Ode to Joy from Beethoven's Ninth. I switch parts around.

6) Rollins Band, "Liar." Very cathartic.

7) Annie Lennox/Howard Shore, "Into the West." Another lullabye fave.

Devo, "The One You Want." Discovered it late via the "Tank Girl" soundtrack.

9) The Moody Blues, "Legends of a Mind." "Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary, Timothy Leary..."

10) Johnny Cash, "Ring of Fire." Or maybe "Folsom Prison Blues."

Nearly anything Cake comes to mind, most particularly their "I Will Survive" cover.

Rollins?

The man doesn't quite write hummable tunes, does he?

Mr. Rollins is not a balladeer, no. But much of that track is actually spoken. The rest is screamed. Or laughed.

I'll sing along to pretty much anything. Mainly oldies on the radio. I went through 5 musical cds on my drive to & from Toronto a couple of weekends ago because I was afraid I'd fall asleep. Belting along to the songs helped keep me awake & might have saved my life too.

My favourite song to sing right now is "Someone To Watch Over Me" by George & Ira Gershwin. My dogs really seem to like it.

Duke also loves the "Love" ballad medley from Moulin Rouge. I call it "his" song because he always starts wagging his tail when I start singing it.

I'm odd. I'm willing to work with that.
