Ten Hardest Songs to Sing...

I think the title says it all...


Tom Lehrer - Poisoning Pidgins in the Park
...This song is not on the list because the lyrics are complicated or because they are hard to remember. It is because it is hard to sing with a straight face. I can just imagine some looser trying to sing this song while walking through a park on a date. The fun version of this song is not available because embedding was disabled but you can view it here...


Eminem - With Out Me
...Never has such a scathing attack on the an artist’s world grown to such popularity. This song and the subsequent video show that Marshall Mathers is truly a master of contemporary topics. Touching on everything from the FCC to Chris Kirkpatric of *NSYNC. The Hardest part of singing this song is having that much hate to sing about.


Yakko Warner - Yakko’s World
...Remember those t shirts that said, "If you see the Police... Warn a Brotha..." Yeah well this song is nothing like that. This song whole concept is just to teach or amuse, someone into listening to a list of all the countries of World. While not a complete list at the time, let alone now, it is very entertaining. Plus it uses the Mexican Hat Dance as the tune. From landscapers to to practitioners of Mexican Judo... Everyone enjoys the Mexican Hat Dance...


Chumbawamba – Tubthumping
...Once again its not about the lyrics. This time it is about the endless repetition of one line. There was a time when my friends and I would have karaoke night. Well one night after a few too many beers I got it into my head to sing this song. Needless to say I have up half way through just because i got so sick and tired of singing along.


Snow - Informer
...Back in 1993 this was one of the coolest songs ever... EVER!!! But then it became 1994 and suddenly we all knew better. With songs such as this it’s a miracle that white Canadian reggae did not take of as a musical genre. This song is so difficult to sing along that I did not know that the narrator is accused of participating in a homicide. I guess that is what Wikipedia is for.


Billy Joel - We Didn’t Start the Fire
...Originally written because Joel wanted to become a history teacher. It is a great confrontation to the state of things when the song was written. There have been many rumors about a sequel to this song for years but Joel is constantly denying the rumors. I am betting if he crashes another couple of cars in Long Island he will get around to going back to the well.


Bare Naked Ladies - One Week
...It’s kind of sad that this One-Hit-Wonder’s song has to be a pain in the ass to sing. What is it about Canadians that gives them a propensity to come up with these songs. The best part of this song is all the cool stuff that is mentioned along the way. Nothing but lists...


Garth Brooks - Ain’t Going Down (’Til The Sun Comes Up)
...Who says country isn’t fun. There is nothing like trying to sing this song with a busted ankle. I knew next day I would be leaving to go deep sea kayaking for 50 miles but hey what did it matter. I was having fun pretending to sing along...


R.E.M. - It’s The End Of The World As We Know It
...This is the hardest song on the list because as far as I know there isn’t a human being alive who knows all the words to this song. Also, it has basically dropped from radio play and aside from watching Independence Day over and over I do not know when I will hear it again.


Blues Traveler - Hook
...The funniest thing about this song is that even though its number one on the list, the difficult part of the song does not start until three minutes into it. The first time I was able to sing this song in its entirety I jumped up and down. Still I was on the second floor of my then apartment and managed to piss of my neighbors...


Ok thats it... Leave some feed back to tell me if I left something out... I wonder how many people listened to all the songs...
