Songs You Just Should Not Try To Sing
I was surfing You Tube today and listened to some great songs I like. There are just some songs you can't improve on. The voice is one-of-a-kind and a classic. No one should even try to sing. Here are a few I think qualify...how bout you guys?
I Left My Heart In San Francisco - Tony Bennett Crazy, or anything by Patsy Cline Chances Are - Johnny Mathis Over The Rainbow - Judy Garland Make The World Go Away - Eddy Arnold 23 comments from 16 users

Had to add one more to my list: When You Wish Upon A Star (Jiminey Cricket AKA Cliff Edwards) Cried as a young child when Pinocchio got swallowed by the whale. Sad, but my mom was asked to take us out of the FOX Theater because of the noise. posted by

Totally on the same page with you, Goofy. I get chills just looking at the song titles. I'll offer a few more: Dream a Little Dream of Me - Cass Elliott Johnny B. Good: Chuck Berry It Ain't Easy Being Green: Kermit If I Only Had the Nerve: Bert Lahr (The lion) Patsy Cline - ANYTHING The Sound of Music: Julie Andrews All The Way: Sinatra (I was conceived, I'm told, with Sinatra singing this in the background) posted by

Wind Beneath My Wings by Gary Morris was the very best rendition. First time I heard I Will Always Love You was in The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas and Dolly Parton sang (as well as wrote) it. It was a heart ripper then and again in The Bodyguard. posted by

Any Mariah Carey songs. I don't think people really understand how they sound trying to hit those notes. posted by

I know all the words to I Left My Heart In San Francisco, but federal law forbids me from singing it or any other song... posted by
