Thread Name: Songs I can't sing
Subject: RE: Songs I can't sing
There are tons, but two come to mind. One because of the visual. I am 6'2 1/2 and about 18 stone. I have reddish blonde hair. I can sing Marley's "Redemption Song" with a superb Jamaican accent. But when you look like I do, people giggle when they hear it. Don't blame them, I would giggle if I saw me singing this song like that.

As to 'Spaw's interpretation, our band was asked to play a wedding on a cruise ship in Lake Michigan once. Of course they wanted Irish, but the Groom asked me to sing "Keeper of the Stars" (C & W) song for one dance. In the chorus that sucker does one of those 3 octave climbs that I just can't do. I played with that sucker forever but just couldn't get it right.
