How about a GN virtual sing a long?

2,3,4 hit it katek! Oh no. What are we actually singing?

Yes how did we manage a real (not virtual) sing along?
I know there was a reference to a link where we could listen to it but can't access it.

Not sure I'd want to actually listen to it!

When this thread started I suddenly thought of "Button Up Your Overcoat" as husband was going out. I played it on youtube:

Well, I'm singing along to Fats Waller, thank you for the link on the other thread Fennel

oops, I mentioned another thread

Would you all like my moving rendition of ‘When Father Papered The Parlour’ ? What do you mean, NO!

I was once in a choir and we sang When Father Papered the Parlour lemongrove. It was many years ago. We did an evening of Victorian songs. One was especially melancholic, The Long Day Closes, right up the Victorians street. I had a good voice once, not so much these days though.

When my mum was in hospital we were chatting about when she met Dad and they danced to 'Autumn Leaves'. I burst into song, 'When Autumn leaves drift by your window....'

'You've always liked that song, haven't you Mum?' I said.

'I used to!'

We played it at her funeral. No I didn't sing it but it made me smile!

Elegran. GN organised a sing along at Christmas 2011 - we sang Oh come all ye faithful, turned on our web cams and all appeared by magic on the screen. Dozens of ladies of a certain age all warbling along together. I remember late DH cringing in the corner of the kitchen as I joined in ??
We should try it again.
?? GN ??

That sounds like fun!
Or not.
Can I mime? And play my air guitar?

Can I sing the descant please? I used to be in a choir.

Oh I was in a choir when I was 16! Alto, so usually somewhere at the back..... I also play the recorder!
Just saying.

I know masses of music hall songs, and they act as excellent lullabies - I serenade the DGC with a quick burst of 'Burlington Berty', 'Daisy Daisy' or their favourite 'Don't Jump off the Roof Dad' - and off they go to sleep (and yes, my whole family tells me that it's to escape...!)

DD2 normally tells me not to sing (for good reason lol) but she says I make it through "Stately as a Galleon" as per Joyce Grenfell so I'd give it a go :-) I'm brave enough you you ladies are :-)

This all sounds like enormous fun!

We could do stately as two galleons, can we dance as well then?

Jesus bids us shine,
With a pure clear light,
Like a little candle,
Burning in the night.
In this world of darkness,
So we must shine,
You in your small corner,
And I in mine.

You brought back memories of Sunday School, Jane10, though some of the words of this, I now realise, are a bit grim for tinies. The next verse talks of 'sin and want and sorrow.'

Gosh Gaggi, that brought back some memories, our local Methodist ministers used to set up at the bottom of our road. They called it Sunshine Corner and I used to trot along, this is one of the songs we sang, I was about 4 or possibly 5. I don't think I've heard it since.

How about "Drink to me only" that might be an appropriate one. You play and I'll join in anytime.

Or just the Mario Lanza song ‘Drink, drink, let the toast start’????

What about ...

I know a song that'll get on your nerves,
get on your nerves, get on your nerves.
I know a song that'll get on your nerves
and this is how it goes
(repeat ad nauseum)

Love to join in but ...
when I do have occasion to burst into song, DH often remarks
'can you sing over the hill and far away?'
the farther away the better!

Always look on the bright side of life

lemongrove I will have a look in the understairs cupboard to find my EP of Mario Lanza singing Drink, Drink etc.

Ouch, banged my head, but I found it.

Has anyone got an old-fashioned record player?

banged my head
that reminded me of the Stanley Holloway song:
'With her head tucked underneath her arm
She walked the Bloody Tower'
