Thread Name: How to Become the 'Ideal' Floorsinger
Subject: RE: How to Become the 'Ideal' Floorsinger
Only one thing worse than hearing a singer who sounds bored with their song and that's getting that feeling of boredham singing a song you felt you ought to sing...

My favourite song's entitled 'Boredom'...

But anyway - when I was starting out as a regular floorsinger I had a very small list of songs that I was comfortable with. Most of them were traditional, some of them weren't, and one of them was "Between the wars". I never felt entirely comfortable with BTW - particularly the bit about moderation - and always had it as my backup song, number 3 on a list of two. I wasn't particularly pleased about the invasion of Iraq, but I have to admit I was glad to have an excuse to cross that song off the list.
