perfectly. Just like the band. True story... when I was a skinny 16 year old I was in a really crappy band, but we had one song sooo down, (down to the cowbell), and at an open-mike night at a big time venue, we nailed it, identical to the original, with me on vocals, even though I'm otherwise a horrible singer.

I'm trying to assemble in my mind exactly how that would sound. Does not compute. But the idea is awesome. I'll keep working on this one.

(28,394 posts)When I was in the 8th grade, we had to sing "Silent Night" to audition for the glee club. I was the only girl who didn't get in.
In college, when we had a sorority singing competition, they made me stand in the back row and lip sync.
I do like to sing along with Elvis on my Sirius radio when I'm all alone!

Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy
I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come
Easy go
Little high
Little low
Any way the wind blows
Doesn't really matter to me
To me
Mama just killed a man
Put a gun against his head
Pulled my trigger
Now he's dead
Goodbye everybody
I've got to go
Got to leave it all behind
And face the truth
Mama ooooooooh...
Didn't mean to make you cry
Sometimes I wish I had never been born at all
Carry on carry on
Because nothing really matters
I see a little shilouetto of a man
Scaramoush scaramoush
Will you do the fandango?
Send a bolt of lighting
Very very frightening me!

Is he a go?
Oh mama mia mama mia let me go
Beelzebub has a devil of a sight for me
For me
For meeeeeeeeeeeee
So you think you can stop me
And spit in my eye
So you think you can love me
And leave me to die
Oh baby
Can't do this to me baby
Just got to get out
Just got to get right out
And meet her
Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
To me
To me
