Title: Singalongs
Post by: RangeRoverA1 on February 02, 2017, 07:07:58 AM
i.e. songs [usually with simple silly repetitive words] you listen to, then end up singing with singer.

To me it's "I'm Henry the Eighth I Am" by Herman's Hermits (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4OS17lqHiE) & "Mr. Sandman" by The Chordettes (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CX45pYvxDiA). Those bam-bam-bam's, can't resist them. In Hermits' case, I even say "2nd verse same as the 1st!", in the same intonation.

Friday On My Mind by The Easybeats and Good Vibrations by you know who are two that immediately come to mind - only when I'm at a pub though, and I'm already pissed

A number of abba songs, broadway musical songs, journey songs, and me too: livin on a prayer. Melodrama, bathos and pathos get me singing.

Yellow Submarine
Cool pick. Don't forget last 5 minutes in "Hey Jude" - "Na...na,na, na-na-na-na...na-na-na-na" etc. It can go like that non-stop.

...Build Me Up Buttercup...

I heard this the other day at the grocery store. The cashier started singing along and then I joined her.

I read recently if you are in a foreign country and want to pick out the Americans, play "Sweet Caroline." Who among us can resist singing the chorus - Sweet Caroline, BUM BUM BUM. ...

Surfin USA, Yellow Submarine and the Hokey Pokey are good too
