Sing out loud...sing out strong

This is one of those posts that will get edited from time to time. I've been singing karaoke for a while now, and this will be my list of best efforts. The songs that I know I can nail.







Mister Cellophane



Robin says this is my best ever. I actually received applause before the song ended - probably for hitting the right high note toward the end. Soon as I can get the sheet music in & practice a bit, this will become my favored audition song. The karaoke version is kinda weird, it includes movie dialog between the verses. Why the hell do that?




Little Red Riding Hood



Tried this for the first time recently. It's a lot of fun to do and suits my voice.




Highwayman




I think I'd like this one best if I could find someone else to share verses with. But I think I've found my best take on it alone. It's tough, being the only person who knows some of these.




I Crush Everything




Of course, I enjoy doing most Coulton songs. I love singing Code Monkey and Re: Your Brains, and I'd try Space Doggity if I could find a karaoke for it. But this one I feel best at. Unfortunately, my current favorite singing spot doesn't have any of them and won't allow personal discs. I'll have to see about getting him the song files.




Ring of Fire




It may just be personal conceit, but I'm pleased with my Johnny Cash impression.




Act Naturally




This one is just fun to do and I don't screw it up.




Everybody Loves Somebody Sometime




Whenever I try to do a crooner song, it comes out sounding like Dean Martin anyway. So he's my crooner of choice. I think my dad tried awfully hard to look like him.



Update 8/8/2012 - The Curly Shuffle






I surprised everyone with this song, and then Robin suprised me by including it among my best. I think that it would be better with a chorus of Stooges helping out, but hardly anyone knows it.
