What song would you sing?

[Weetomuncher]

If you had to release a musical single which was a cover version of an existing song then what would you want to sing?

I'd probably pick "I Just Called To Say I Love You" as sung by Stevie Wonder as it was the first record I ever owned when I was 4 years old.

[CassandraL]

Probably a Marilyn Manson song. Hell the guy's done enough covers it's about time he got some done of his own stuff. :biggrin: (Oh Marilyn, what ever happened to you?)

[CutterMike]

"Sit On My Face (And Tell Me That You Love Me)" by Monty Python







...What...? You asked!

[Cayman]

All Of My Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MVY9j30Wdk) by ABC.

[Mormel]

If I could sing, probably "The Dive", by Culture Club. It's not well-known, it has a bit of a contrast between the verses and the chorus, and it's not too simple a tune to sing either, I imagine.
All Of My Heart (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MVY9j30Wdk) by ABC.Nice one. I didn't know you liked ABC.

[David O Burcham]

Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4"

My life has been pretty much one big writer's block... the guitar solo is pretty sweet, too.

[escapegoat]

I'd do a cover version of David Bowie's "Modern Love", but I would slow it down slighty and do it only with piano accompaniment.

For some reason, I think it would sound really cool that way....

[bringthenoise]

"Windowsill" by Arcade Fire

[Jae Namkyoung]

Love Drunk by Boys Like Girls.

[Calvin Government]

"It's the End of the World As We Know It" by REM

I have a terrible singing voice, but that one generally impresses people if you talk fast enough.

If the question is, which would I do if I could sing, well, that'd take some serious thinkin'.

[Free-Man]

Can't narrow it down to just one:

Space Oditty: David Bowie

I'll Be There: Four Tops

Smooth Criminal: Michael Jackson

My Drive Thru: Pharrel, Santigold, and Julian Casablancas (with my friends!)

[shanejayell]

Almost anything from Rocky Horror Picture Show.

:)

[Christopher Cross Is God]

"Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" by N-Trance .......Such a challenging song to sing. I'd have to go for a pseudo urban carnival barker schtick, while interversing with Rod Stewart-esque vocals.

Love the song, though, so I'd be up for the challenge.

[supamike]

i started a joke by the bee gees.

[NickThompson]

I touch myself by the Divinyls. I'd be the years Who let the dogs out :smile:


Seriously, I dunno, Welcome to the Cheapseats by the Wonderstuff? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dVA3V_kCkaM

[Cam63]

Probably Khe Sahn.

[40footwolf]

Super hard, but right now I'm leaning towards "Holland, 1945" by Neutral Milk Hotel.

[supamike]

mandy by barry manilow.

[Night Swordsman]

Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin'.

And ALL of you would be forced to sing the chorus with me. All nine times. :biggrin:

(It's NOT hard to follow...)

[Christopher Cross Is God]

I'd like to hear a YABS chorus for the Alanis Morissette version of "My Humps"......

I would rather gargle glass. Then again, many YABSters would agree for this to happen.:rolleyes:

"A Helping Hand" by Paul Kelly.

[JTPencils]

Every Which Way but Loose - for me... ah heck, there's a slew I'd be willing to warble. I'm not shy!

[Infra-Man]

Either The Talking Heads' "This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody)" or a Billy Bragg/The Jam/Ted Leo-style cover of Brinsley Schwarz's "(What's So Funny 'Bout) Peace, Love, and Understanding."

The b-side would be cover of Elliott Smith's "Say Yes" performed with/produced by Jon Brion.

[Romero]

Looking Glass' 70s classic "Brandy, You're a Fine Girl"

[beetlebum]

Io Canto.

Which appropriately enough, means "I Sing."

Either that, or Blood by Editors.

I have it stuck in my head, and it's my new theme song.

[invisiboy]

I can do a pretty mean "Are You Lonesome Tonight" (Elvis Presley). :)

[sweetdreams]

Dylan's Subterranean Homesick Blues.
(ironically I've seen Alannis Morrisette do a horrendous version of this on some awards show)
