Subject: RE: Songs I can't sing From: Pelrad Date: 18 Jul 99 - 07:41 PM Ha. Try singing "Bulgine Run" or any of a hundred other roaring or coarse sea chanties in a sweet alto voice. :-) With regards to Catspaw's interpretation, add to the list a few songs on Jean Redpath's album "Jean Redpath," and the song "Flying Cloud." I also am having scads of trouble with "The Blacksmith," mainly because I'm trying to learn it from Louis Killen's recording and I still haven't figured out what the hell key he sings in. (and the *&^$ melody seems to change slightly with each verse!) |

Subject: RE: Songs I can't sing From: Legal Eagle Date: 18 Jul 99 - 06:25 PM Well, since I was born if not into the English ruling class at least one which was at least past the 50% mark, quite a lot of Irish songs would sound as if I was being sarcastic if I sang them. The same goes for more than a few Scottish songs too. There are more than a few English trad songs which the French might think a bit off, too. |
Subject: Songs I can't sing From: Llanfair Date: 18 Jul 99 - 06:12 PM Talking about John Lennon in another thread reminded me of the frustration of not being able to sing "Woman". It's a fabulous song, but the gender can't be adjusted, and the sexuality of the song can't be ignored. Has anyone else such frustrations? "Working class Hero" is tricky, too! Hwyl. Bron. |
