Do you know ALL the words to popular songs?
I'm not talking about songs like Happy Birthday or Jingle Bells. I'm talking about rock and roll, or country, or pop, or other songs like that.
I was thinking about it today. I have a lot of songs that I like and listen to a lot, but the words apparently go in one ear and out the other. If you ask me to sing "Thunder Road" or "Fred Jones Part 2", or "Piano Man", I can't do it without humming some of the parts. And I've heard these songs a zillion times. I'm not sure that I can sing a single song from start to finish. If you asked me, I would say yes, but if you tell me to do it, I don't think I can. So think about it for yourself. Can you sing any/some/many songs from start to finish without the music behind you and without singing along with the singer? If so, prove it. |

I voted yes. I wouldn't say I'd be able to blow the audience away I'm sure I'd muck up some of the words. I do however play one mean air guitar.

I voted yes, but really I couldn't stand in at a concert. I can't sing worth a darn. But I know lots of songs in their entirety.

There's a handful that I could recite the words in their entirety, but no one would ever want to hear me sing them.

I could pretty much write down about every Floyd song ever written. To sing it though would be torture...

I dont even know every word to songs I love. Many verses off by heart, but very rarely an entire song.
