Do you sing?

I do a lot when I'm by myself. Occasionally I will do karaoke. My standards for karaoke night are Crocodile Rock, Runaround Sue, Runaway (Del Shannon), Creep by Radiohead, Plush by Stone Temple Pilots, Another Day in Paradise, and always always Ziggy Stardust. I really like to do any Elton John because his voice fits mine well, and I can do any 90s rocker voice song. Think Alive by Pearl Jam. But I can sweeten it up and do Paul Simon or with Garfunkel. I have a bit of range but I've never been too serious about it. The only bands I've been in I was the drummer, and I am a good drummer, but I'd like to be a singer I think. At 30 I might be a bit old to go for music, but you never know. Right now I'm working on the Joan Baez version of Silver Dagger. Do you sing?

Yes , just not very well - still , I enjoy it. I am a real crooner in the shower.

[–] slimone (7996) 7 years ago

Yes, when I'm listening to a CD while driving in my car.

I do - but only to my dog - once caught the attention of some tugboat sailors working on a dock nearby - don't care, still sing to my pooch. It was like being interrupted from one of those Disney sing-along moments dagnabbit.

All the time. Usually have music on 10-12 hours a day.

I usually take whatever song is on and change the words to my dogs names.
They love it.
I'm wailing they're howling and jumping around.
Quite the spectacle but loads of fun.

"I usually take whatever song is on and change the words to my dogs names."

😂 I'd pay good money to hear that, including your backup howlers.

Today was Carry on my Wayward Son.

My version was

Once I rose above the Indee and Tazer
Just to get a glimpse beyond the Gizmo
Bella was soaring ever higher, but the pups flew too high

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Ha ha!

Do you take requests?

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

We probably could. Should make some videos and upload them.
Like I even know what that is!

Most of the time it makes no sense but the pups do love me singing their name.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Here's my request.

I can't help it, it just makes me happy! PLUS, your pups will have to love it 🐾🐶🐾

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

The song isn't on my ipod but it would be a great song for this!
It would actually be perfect.

I'll see what I can do. Everybody's napping now.
Another hour or so until dinner.
This may be epic!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Any time you and the pups are ready to perform and making your recording debut, I'm all 👂s and eager!

How did I know you weren't someone able to resist MC Hammer!

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I think I like it because "U can't touch this" is so easy to remember!
That's about my speed nowadays.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Ha! There is that.

But there's also that great bass that makes you want to get up and DANCE. And the pants. The PANTS! He pulls them off and looks great, and I don't care what anyone says.

[–] godewey (16472) 7 years ago

I think I'll stick to tapping my foot.
Nobody wants to see me jumping around with my pants off.

Haven't been outside and done that in years!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Foot-tapping is a time-honoured method of minimalist dancing 👍

Oh come on, what fun is jumping around with your pants on?

And no more rain!
Last weekend we already set the record for the most
precipitation in May and it wasn't even half over yet.

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

Whut, you've had recent deluges there too? This ain't right.

You can send* some of your rain over this way; we're still in a drought.

*Please note I said some. Another deluge we do not need.

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 7 years ago

I love singing! I sing in a cover band for fun, in the shower, around the house. In fact you can't shut me up. I also record some stuff on my Mac

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

That's the spirit! What songs do you cover with your band?

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 7 years ago

Mostly rock like ACDC, Creedence, the Stones, the Baby Animals, Nirvana

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I love all those. Especially Creedence. I hate the fuckin Eagles man.

[–] somesunnyday (2078) 7 years ago

Me too Dude!

[–] Catbookss (13664) 7 years ago

I do, usually in my car. Unfortunately I have precious little in the way of singing chops 😬

[–] Kazak (2194) 7 years ago

Along.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77999) 7 years ago

I frequently sing but i really am awful
I save it mostly for my commuting so as not to harm the ones i love

I did the entire Bat Out Of Hell song the other day driving home from work-
I really rocked that shiznit!!!

Im pretty certain i sounded awful
Not a single regret;)

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I love Bat out of Hell. It's one of my standard car CDs.
