Title: Songs that you can't help but sing along to
Post by: Samus Aran on July 27, 2009, 06:01:37 PM
Even if they're not necessarily my favorite songs, there are some songs that I just have to sing along to if they come on, especially if I'm driving.

Modest Mouse - Float On
Keane - Perfect Symmetry
The Who - Baba O'Riley, Behind Blue Eyes, Won't Get Fooled Again
The Beach Boys - Wouldn't It Be Nice
The Beatles - just about every song by them that I know well enough
Oasis - Live Forever
Rage Against the Machine - Know Your Enemy
Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
The Rolling Stones - Sympathy for the Devil
Led Zeppelin - Rock and Roll, Black Dog, The Ocean
Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby
Iron Maiden - Hallowed Be Thy Name
The Flaming Lips - Do You Realize??, Race for the Prize, Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1, Fight Test
Deep Purple - Highway Star
David Bowie - Moonage Daydream
Blue Oyster Cult - Burnin' For You, Flaming Telepaths

But perhaps most importantly: Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis. I can sing this song all day and never get tired of it.

I'm sure there's lots more that should be on my list, but those are all the ones off the top of my head that I pretty much always sing if I hear them.

Yeah, at least to try, but my favorite song of his, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, goes too high for my voice. :(

I can actually sing pretty good falsettos, but obviously, you can't falsetto quiet, so I rarely have a chance to practice them ;_;

I'm listening to the Beach Boys right now. AWESOME singalong music.

...every song I know the words to.  baddood;

That would be fun to sing along to if it wasn't done to death. Now everyone and his brother thinks it's so hilarious to sing Don't Stop Believin'.

So? I don't like my voice either, so I may not sing around most other people, but I'll sing loud and proud and enjoy every minute of it if I'm alone. You could do the same. It's fun.
