Do you like to sing to your favorite songs while they are playing?

Asked by RayaHope (7448points) August 29th, 2022

I’m no singer but I do like to sing anyway and I try to emulate their voice as much as possible. I try to learn all the words even though I’ll never be good at sounding like the artist.

NO…I can’t sing a single note & I don’t want to dishonor the original artist!!! I do sing it in my head where I can’t screw it up with reality…I have a beautiful voice inside my head!!!

ALL. THE. TIME.

Singing in the car or singing while cleaning house is my thang. I have a halfway decent voice too.

My daughter and I will drive around singing together.

We would always sing in the car with whatever was on the radio.

Yes. And very loudly!

LuckyGuy's avatar

Yes! Sometimes I’ll try to harmonize. Sometimes I’ll follow the lead. And sometimes…

I’ll grab my harmonica and try to match chords and melody. I mostly do that in the car when listening to the radio.

@Forever_Free On stage? Like karaoke or are you a professional?

Nomore_Tantrums's avatar

Only in my shower when no one is around. And even that stirs up every dog, cat, and coyote in 27 counties. As in, please shut him the f;;:‘k up! This is animal abuse!

@RayaHope Yes, Live with an audience. Yes, we get paid by the establishment that hires us. Spotify and Apple Music revenue is kind of a pittance.

Favorite family songs: American Pie, Wish You Were Here, and any Beatles song.

RayaHope's avatar

@Nomore_Tantrums LOL!! ...so that was the awful noise I heard. ;}
@Forever_Free What do you sing? What kind of music/artists or your own bands stuff. Singers really get me lit if I like their stuff.

Well, yeah…..I’m alive. Don’t all live humans do that?
;)

RayaHope's avatar

@SnipSnip maybe but I almost never hear anyone singing. I sing a lot even if people are around sometimes :)

smudges's avatar

Well of course!

smudges's avatar

ME: Ohhh that’s a good song! <sings along>
YOU: Yeah, who sings that anyway?
ME: James Taylor
YOU: So let him sing it!

I used to wish I could sing…now I wish you could!

What did you do with all that money??
What money?
The money your mother gave you for singing lessons!

RayaHope's avatar

LOL!
ME: Bought some really good noise canceling headphones.

smudges's avatar

LOL too funny!

I do.

Some of my favorite sing-along-songs are:

Hallelujah. I know the video is 99% instrumental, but I know most of the words.

Roast of Cimarron- Poco. I can hit the high notes, but Timothy Schmidt’s soprano at the end is stratospheric.

Military Madness- Graham Nash.

Keepa Rockin’ in the Free World- Neil Young

Silence is Golden- Tremeloes.

Unchained Melody- Bobby Hatfield.

Where Have All the Flowers Gone- Kingston Trio. One of my favorite anti-war folk tunes.

Stop This Flame- Celeste. I try to sing along with this one, but she does the “You’ll never stop this flame….” part with such Celestial power that all I can do is STFU and cry.

@Brian1946 Unchained Melody- Bobby Hatfield. OH YES this song is da Bomb!! I love this ꒒ ꒩ ꒦ ꒰

Brian1946's avatar

I love that you love it! It’s wonderful when someone else feels the same about something so beautiful. :)

I actually took some singing lessons from an artist named Connie Lim.

RayaHope's avatar

Oh I love her wispy airy voice. You actually sang with her? Wow you guys are amazing.

Brian1946's avatar

No, I did not sing with her, but I wish I had suggested it when she was teaching me.

RayaHope's avatar

^^ Still WOW! I have never been that close to a celebrity and to have her teaching you…just wow!

smudges's avatar

I love Where Have All The Flowers Gone!...know it by heart and sometimes it comes to mind and I just sing it out of the blue. And Silence is Golden, and Unchained Melody!

RayaHope's avatar

^^ Unchained Melody! I also know and LOVE! ꒒ ০ ⌵ ୧ ♡

@Brian1946 We’ll have to do a duet at Tops the next time I’m out your way. I’ll bring my harmonicas.
