Sing your heart out

So now that we've all bonded through the healing powers of song, what are some of the songs you had wanted to sing but were denied? For myself, I had been hoping to do some blues standards, like John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" and Cab Calloway's "Hi De Ho Man", and (though this isn't blues) some Johnny Cash (preferably either Ring of Fire or I Got Stripes, though they only had Folsom Prison Blues and Hurt there). I was also annoyed, though unsurprised, that they didn't have any Decemberists or Dresden Dolls songs there for Emmy and I to duet on, and they didn't have nearly big enough of a selection of Manson songs (or any Rev. Horton Heat songs), or I was definitely going to worry you all with them. One I was annoyed by was "Tear You Apart" by She Wants Revenge, which they did have and which I had put in, but apparently I had typed it in wrong, as it never showed up (this may explain some of the songs that nobody would claim, like the Flintstones theme).

Erm, ok, hopefully I can comment this time. Sheesh (technical difficulties).

I was hoping for some New Order and the Cure b/c I'm an 80s gal.

There were definitely some newer songs that they didn't have yet. Also, they didn't have some of my more obscure punk-pop-rock bands. But there were definitely songs they had that I didn't get a chance to yet. I didn't even begin to tap into my rock and old school pop artists!

So you were the culprit for Flintstones, what about the Yellow Brick Road?

You were hilarious, those songs that weren't even really words.

Are you refering to Freddy Mercury's crackheadedness on Under Pressure, or the poetic beauty of 21st Century Schizoid Man?

And yeah, they didn't have enough new stuff at all. No Ryan Adams, no Of Montreal, no Explosions in the Sky (well, I guess that's to be expected, given that they don't have a singer), no Those Poor Bastards, no nothing. All they had was that horrid Gwen Stefani yodeling song.
