"I'm not gonna be very happy when they put the shrimp on the barbie."

Those of you who know me know that I'm not a very good singer. There's a reason I joined band instead of choir.

Despite this, I've spent some time in the privacy of my own room (where no one can hear me) attempting to hum/sing along with some of the songs on my iPod. One thing I've learned from this is that for some reason I can sing with the male singers slightly better than I can with the female singers. It's not much of a difference, but a difference nonetheless.

The exception to this would be any song by Queen. That's just impossible.

Somewhat related quote-from-several-months-ago:
(singing Jazz Police)
Me: (singing bari part) Da da dada dada da duh dah duhdah duh da da
Dayv: (singing alto part) Bwaa daaa, bwaa daaaaa, bwadaaa bwee duh ba bow....
...
Dayv: It might help if my voice weren't lower than yours.

And another:
(singing A Whole New World at last exchange concert reception)
Dayv: (aside) Yes, keep modulating higher.

  1. Suuusaaaannnn!

    you think people have naturally high voices?!?!

    noooo!

    they train their voices that way!

    that's what makes them awesome!

    (my vocal range is pretty crappy too; I'm also flat)

  2. Who has the time to train to be awesome anymore?

    I think I'll just stick to lip-syncing from now on.
