[Guest Choken One]

"I will always Love You"

[Guest Youth N Asia]

I've been muttering "Keep Fishin" under my breath lately

[Guest Plushy Al Logan]

Currently I'm singing Van Halen's right now, even though I don't have the song with me any where.

[Guest The Camel]

Weezer - Buddy Holly, ever since the damned music video came with Windows 95

[Guest IDrinkRatsMilk]

"Cop Killer"

[Guest Respect The 'Taker]

Right now it's Madagascar - GN'R

[Yuna_Firerose 0]

"Real American"

[LaParkaYourCar 0]

Weezer - Buddy Holly, ever since the damned music video came with Windows 95

Holy crap Camel I haven't seen you in ages!

 

Oh and I don't sing along with songs very often.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Any song I know the words to.

[Guest The Metal Maniac]

Assuming there's no one around, I'll sing along to any song that I know the words to, depending on my mood at the time.

 

However, I must say that there's a much larger problem with singing songs while they're not playing. I've caught myself softly singing "Fuckin' an Animal" at work. I can't imagine it would be very good if a manager caught me wandering around, among customers and children, doing such.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

GWAR~! In my Animal...

 

I always end up mumbling some Primus or Zappa lyrics at some point in the day.

 

Also, whenever I get in or out of a car, I end up doing a mild deathgrowl to something like Stabwound Intercourse by Avulsed.

That goes perfect for a reply following my post, considering I have a Dave Brockie quote at the end of my sig.

 

I'M PULLING ON THE HORNS...

[Guest Michael Joel Benoit]

Ever since I saw the Michael Jackson interview, I have found myself singing Michael Jackson songs even though I'm not a fan of his. So far I've sang "You Rock My World", "Billy Jean", "Beat It", "Thriller", "Smooth Criminal", and "Don't Stop Till You Get Enough."

 

Wow, now that I think about it, he has made some really great songs.

[Guest Youth N Asia]

As of right this minute..."Blister in the Sun"

[Guest Kinetic]

I watch a lot of TV nowadays, so a lot of the songs in commercials have been bubbling up into my conscious mind during the day. What sucks is that, because I only hear what's featured in the commercial, I generally only know a verse or so from the song. There's this song from a commercial for one of those pocket computer deals where this guy and girl get on a bus but can't find adjacent seats to sit in, so they communicate via the pocket computer deals. The song is some sort of late 60s folk thing...it goes "she'll talk to you and no one else around" and so on. Very pretty. I wish I knew what it was.

[Guest Phoenix Fury Legdrop]

either Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" or Stephen Lynch's "Special Olympics".

[Guest Insanityman]

Every Offspring song, "Man in the Box", and I don't sing in my normal voice very often. So not that many. I sing in a voice that makes me sound like I've sucked helium, makes for a funny "Crazy Train."

[Guest Harry Hood]

Every day, El Scorcho by Weezer is lodged into my brain.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

I sing in a voice that makes me sound like I've sucked helium, makes for a funny "Crazy Train."

That's okay. I usually sing in a British accent for some reason.

 

And I once rapped "The Real Slim Shady" with a Scottish accent. Good times, good times.

[Guest Kinetic]

This just in: For some reason beyond my comprehension, my head has been invaded by "More Than a Feeling." And it looks like...yes, I am now singing the song out loud. Unfortunately, the only words I know are "it's more than a feeling (more than a feelin')." So I finished pretty quickly.

[Guest Eyeball Kid]

I had Shakira's "Underneath Your Clothes" festering in my brain earlier today, but I'm choosing to blame a friend for that, rather than accept I might actually like the song.

[Guest Agent of Oblivion]

Boston and Shakira?

 

Man, that's like negative 40 points of indie cred, or some shit. That said, Boston has a couple catchy riffs, and I would very much like to do unnatural things to Shakira.

[Guest hardyz1]

Stephen Lynch "Kill A Kitten"

 

Feed it turpentine

Or break its spine

[Guest Eyeball Kid]

Shakira's hotness makes up for her lame music. There's no excusing Boston, however.

 

That said, I feel no shame in singing along to Journey's "Seperate Ways." None at all.

[Guest Kinetic]

Like a lot of people of my age and social class, I was raised on classic rock. I've been around it my entire life and, given that these stations have added maybe three songs to their playlist since 1983, it's pretty much the same now as it was then. I used to feel ashamed and embarrassed whenever, say, a Boston song or "Show Me The Way" or something of that nature would get stuck in my head. Learning to deal with it has brought me a great deal of inner-peace and has allowed me to come to terms with my borderline white trash upbringing. I can now sing along to "Hot Blooded" with not one iota of shame or even ironic detachment.

 

All right now. Baby, it's a-all right now.

[Guest converge241]

That Nelly sneaker song

 

GET OUT OF MY HEAD DAMN YOU NELLY!!

[cawthon777 0]

Sad to say but I know the words to FAR too many songs - especially the shit ones I hate with a passion (remember that 'How Bizarre' song from a few years back? 1997 was not a good year for pop music).

 

Usually, as long as I keep the crap songs out of my head, it will be something 80s, Springsteen, U2, Tom Petty, Sarah Brightman, etc. Right now it happens to be 'Full of Grace' by Sarah McLachlan (featured in 'Becomming Part 2' for the fellow Buffy fans).

[Guest Hogan Made Wrestling]

I love signing along to Bon Jovi.

Believe me, I understand. Growing up in rural indiana in the 80s and early 90s led to my being exposed to the same material. Kiss, Seger, AC/DC, Foreigner, Molly Hatchet, Kansas, The Scorpions, and 38 Special. The local radio here is atrocious, with only maybe half a dozen tolerable songs played in a 24 hour period.

 

Fortunately, my dad had an extensive collection of worthwhile vinyl that I basically raised myself on. Sabbath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Zappa, Floyd, The Stones, and The Doors. Plenty of bands that were being shamelessly bastardized by the rock bands of my youth. Puberty then sent me into the angst bucket spiral, which was a pathetic phase I have locked in some stinking oubliette of my subconcious.

 

I can pretty much tolerate or at least ignore most of the older cheesy stuff, but I'll be damned if I don't know all the words.

 

Carry on my wayward son...
