Sweet Serenade.

So… a quick question to the FIRST community.

I have a friend (you can refer to him as Lonely-in-Can-ayy-dia), and he’s kinda in a predicament. He wants to sing to this girl he knows, but he doesn’t know what songs to sing.

What songs do you recommend he sings her?

Thanks in Advance,
John

Happy Birthday…duh :stuck_out_tongue:

theres that witney houston song “I will always love you” … thats a great one :smiley:

Boyz-II-Men … So Hard To Say Goodbye.

Suggestion by Amanda Morrison

Ricky Martin - She Bangs

Suggestion by NOBODY

William Hung - She Bangs :smiley:

EDIT: Okay seriously now

Enrique Iglesias - Hero
All for One - I Swear
Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply
Perhaps some Backstreet Boys song???

Let us all know which one he uses and how it turns out!

Would it be inappropriate to ask what the intended result of this crooning is?

Total embarassment of the girl.

scours playlist

Baby Got Back!

Please tell us the whole story. Please! :slight_smile:

I was gonna say “The Dance” by Garth Brooks, but it may be more appropriate for him to put his arm around her and in a drunken manner start hollering “Man, I Feel Like a Woman” (Listen to the Shania Twain song by that name).

-Bill

You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling by the Righteous Brothers.

Best Friend by Queen
You Light Up My Life (can be done very over-dramatically)
You Are My Sunshine (this song sung to Mr. Lavery earned several people pimp buttons)
Any song by Barry Manilow, though that may embarrass him more than her

Heidi

I love you - you love me: the Barney Song

that song from lambchop!!

this is the song that never ends. yes it goes on and on my friend. some people started singing it not knowin’ what it was. and they’ll continue singing it forver just because this is the song that never ends. yes it goes on and on my friend. some people started singing it not knowin’ what it was. and they’ll continue singing it forver just because this is the song that never ends. yes it goes on and on my friend. some people started singing it not knowin’ what it was. and they’ll continue singing it forver just because this is the song that never ends. yes it goes on and on my friend. some people started singing it not knowin’ what it was. and they’ll continue singing it forver just because…

i cant believe i still remember that, though i do have a good memory. i guess its not that hard to remember considering it looped like 10 times at the end of every episode. ah, memories…

to be serious, though, he should sing a song that works well with his voice. people have different kinds of voices and different songs are made for different ones. can you imagine brittany spears trying to sing a slipknot song? barry white trying to sing a justin timberlake song? you gotta go with what fits your voice

Ok then – I retract my suggestion, and am researching instrumental songs now. Instrumental will work very well with this particular voice. :smiley:

Well, if the goal is total embarassment of the girl, then Baby Got Back would do nicely.

Uhm…lemme see what else would work…(launches Winamp)

Barenaked Ladies - One Week
Macy Gray - I Try (with the raspy voice and everything)
Cake - I Will Survive (don’t try that a capella, though)
Green Day - Minority (Just a shot in the dark)
Lionel Richie - Hello
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes - Mona Lisa (I have their cover of the song…I dunno who actually sang it. Nat King Cole?)
Missy Elliott - Get Ur Freak On (Shoot, ANYTHING by Missy Elliott)
Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Weird Al - Smells Like Nirvana (Okay, so the last two are the same. Ah well.)
Outkast - Bombs Over Baghdad
Outkast - Hey Ya (shake it like a Polaroid pic-shaaa!)
Wyclef Jean feat. The Rock - It Doesn’t Matter
Wyclef Jean - Anything Can Happen
Wyclef Jean feat. The Bee Gees - We Trying to Stay Alive (better with backup, but you’ll figure something out)

That’s what I can think of. Your mileage may vary. Batteries not included. (what is this, the FIRST kit of parts? :smiley: )

Thought of a couple more:

NSYNC - This I promise you
Daniel Beddingfield - If you’re not the one

Top Gun Maverick/Goose style, of course

“Cause she’s lost that lovin’ feeling”
“That lovin’ feeling? Oh no no no”
“Oh but she has”
“I hate it when she loses that lovin’ feeling”

Lol. Anyways. “Take My Breath Away” (Berlin), “Brown Eyed Girl” (Van Morisson), “Memory” (Sugarcult), “All for You” (Sister Hazel), “Somebody to Love” (Queen), and “The Reason” (Hoobastank) all work too. :slight_smile:

If he wants to serenade her, I’d recommend either Wonderwall or Champagne Supernova by Oasis, and also perhaps Sympathy or Slide by Googoo Dolls. Green Day’s “Time of your life” is always fun. Uh…those are all easy to sing.
