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,but not when other people's around..I have a terrible voice😉

[–] TexasJack (12516) 7 years ago

Sure, but far from anyone’s hearing, for their own good. 🙂

My dad actually has a very nice singing voice.

Went up on stage and sang "In The Air Tonight" by Phil Collins for a school concert years ago.

That's awesome. I love that song.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I love that track. I've done it at Karaoke, but I've always wanted to do legit Phil Collins style and sing while drumming. I think I will have to make that happen. There's only so many drummer-singers. I guess I could do stuff from The Band, their drummer sang a bit.

I'm a terrible singer, but occasionally I do sing.

Only when I'm drunk. So the answer is yes, very often.

It's a deal!

I sing all the time. I'm not that great, I don't care if people hear me or like it though. I just like singing along and dancing to my favorite songs.

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

It's definitely a skill that can be improved with practice, and not caring what people think of it is sort of an essential element in the early stages. It may even be an essential element to a happy life.

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

I would love to sound like Adele or Grace Potter. It definitely makes me happier if a good song comes on while I'm at work, gets me moving a little bit faster, little more pep in my step if you will.

Are you really a waitress thewaitress? Back when I was a waiter I had certain songs that I loved to come on and others that I dreaded. I loved when Fleetwood Mac would play and I hated John Mayer.

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

Nope, manager at a dollar store. :) I spend about 35 hrs a week walking up and down aisles and dancing to the rare non-country song that comes on. John Mayer ain't bad but I love some Fleetwood Mac too!

I just think if I hear "your body is a wonderland" ever again I will puke. It was like every other song in my Applebees days.

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

that's how I feel about "hey bartender".

[–] PeteRose (2893) 7 years ago

I had a different job where I would repeatedly hear "Happily Ever After" by He is We. It's god awful and it was always playing!

It's case you're unfamiliar:

It may have sounded good at one time, to someone other than me, but not after 1000 listens.

[–] thewaitress (1616) 7 years ago

I might like that song every once in awhile but not everyday, especially multiple times.
