I love this song, it moves me to tears when I hear it. Thanks cathy

It's that non-musical slightly whining, slightly grating voice. To be fair, I don't think yawping is a real word – just a family invention. grin Yes, it's just a song though less of the quality of Nessun Dorma or even When I'm Cleaning Windows.

I love this song. He has a great voice.

merlotgran Wed 24-Apr-13 20:57:08

I agree about the croaking grating, absent but I've heard a lot worse.. I think Mishap calls it vomit-voice!

His voice has a good range and it's a well written song.

No, sorry, it doesn`t do anything for me either.

I like 'yawping'. It's rather onomatopoeic.

Ana Wed 24-Apr-13 22:22:49

Sounds like a goldfish to me (yawping, I mean).

Sel Wed 24-Apr-13 22:27:21

I'm just going to love it cathy having previously dismissed 'when I'm cleaning windows' Thank you smile

Sel Wed 24-Apr-13 22:33:12

I love the fact the written lyrics scroll by - that would have saved me many embarrassing moments in the past, singing along to what I thought were the lyrics blush

cathy Wed 24-Apr-13 23:05:12

I know Sel thats so funny, I used to get the wrong words all the time, who cares though, what is it they say, sing like no one is listeningsmile

harrigran Wed 24-Apr-13 23:10:26

No, doesn't do it for me either. local builders are better singers smile

Ana Wed 24-Apr-13 23:16:28

We've had all sorts of clips on Gransnet - opera, jazz, old musical numbers...

A lot of them are not to my taste, but I don't feel the need to give a negative opinion, especially when the OP has expressed enthusiasm.

(Blimey, I sounded like someone else there....hmm)

Sel Wed 24-Apr-13 23:29:42

Ana my thoughts entirely smile

cathy first time I was aware I had a lyrics problem was singing to On Ilkley Moor Baht'at. No resemblance to what I sang as a child...and the problem has continued.
