Songs that you just have to sing


It occurred to me the other day as I was driving to work that I cannot help but to sing certain songs as I hear them on the radio - especially the one word songs like Tequila! You know, hum hum hum hum, hum hum hum hum, Tequila! I just have to sing it, even if I were sitting in church and heard in ever-so-faintly from some teenager's car's radio in the parking lot on a hot summer day. I'd still sing it!

There are others as well - Puff the Magic Dragon, for instance - you can't hear it without joining in verbally.

Of course Springsteen's "Born to Run" - I remember the college parties. Eeven the girls who didn't know the words would mumble inaduibly until the chorus kicked in, and then would loudly scream, "Baby, I was born to run - yes girl, to run!!!" Then they started to mumble again...

Another list. This time, it' sing-along songs.

Nessun dorma (complete to mopping your face with a gigantic handkerchief at the end)

Una voce poco fa (in the shower, in your best screechy falsetto)

The Lamb by John Tavener (Try to get all those chromatics right without peeking at the score...just try!)

Anything by Gilbert and Sullivan

You Were Always on My Mind (in the style of Willie, of course)

American Pie.........wait.... oh no....
here it goes in my head now.... and it's

"bye bye, miss american pie, drove my chevy to the levy, but the levy was dry, and good ole boys were drinkin' whiskey and rye........"
"Ghost Riders in the Sky". Now only if my voice was a manly as Miss Peggy Lee's.
I was driving to dinner tonight and thought of American Pie - Angela beat me to the punch - definitely the longest sing-along I can think of.
