Music you sing along to - in the car, bath, when hoovering..

I love The Carpenters, John, do you sing along?

Just jumping back to the earlier thread, at the weekend I got the sheet music from the library for 'And We Were Lovers' and 'Who Can I Turn To' in the vain hope I might be able to bash either song out on piano or guitar and sing along.

We'll have to get webcams John!! then we can see you sing... and Marian hoovering!!!

Listening to the first CD of The Rare Monro. My favourite at the moment.

Me neither John - but it's fun trying!
Marian from Kent, gosh you really do NOT want to hear me murdering these songs! You'd be better off listening to Marian from Reading's builders! Far more tuneful!
Marian from Reading, a friend of my wifes walked in our house the other day and I was singing and hoovering at the same time - and doing a pretty awful job of both.
Imagine my horror when i discovered I had an audience.

Harry hoovers but like a one armed oarsman. He goes round in circles and the same with cleaning windows. He doesn't know they have corners.
He can't sing either.

or so his passengers have told him.

That's funny Lena, but don't forget us blokes have a knack at making tricky jobs easy.
That's because we probably don't do the job right, but at least we make it easier

That's true Gray, and don't rock the boat eh !! (skuse the pun ):lol: cos half a job done is better than none.

Harry must be happy in his work anyway Lena, and I'm sure he sings beautifully!!

What a good chap to even have a go at the windows!

Wish we could have seen you Gray! at least your singing was probably drowned out by the hoovering, and doesn't singing help with the housework, and any job really.

Some good house-husbands here..
We seem to have become a bit obsessed with hoovering and giving Hoover a lot of free advertising. Don't forget my original post said "hovering"!!!!

Yes, Harry is happy in his work, and that's what matters.

As for singing, though not recently, he has been known on occasions to take the mic.. and give a few renditions.

Perhaps the next thing we could all think about now is making a record.

From the postings, it sounds as though a little bit of encouragement is all that's needed.

I've got the cotton wool ready for my ears L&H

Gray, you didn't have a "piny" on when you were singing and hoovering did you, as that would be worth watching

I will not advertise for "Hoover" Marian, as I have a Dyson

Getting back to the thread, the "Rare Monro" -disc one- is majestic Marian

I am listening to disc three of the "Singers Singer" tonight, especially to listen to "Spring Is Here"

(Just realised it is in the wrong thread, after all)

Gray · Post by **Gray** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 6:23 am

Hi Robert

No, I swear there wasn't a piny in sight, so your comparison between me and 'Mrs Doubtfire' is way off the mark

I re-strung a guitar last night for a friend's son and listened to David Cassidy, Robert...I seem to remember you saying that you didn't think he was too bad..?
I know Jeff in the US hates his version of 'Cherish', but I had it on repeat play as I really like it! (Sorry Jeff

)

What's a piny Robert, ??? and posting in the wrong thread

This is getting serious

Marian · Post by **Marian** » Wed Apr 18, 2007 8:29 am

Looks like Robert's finally lost it

or at the very least is going downhill fast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
