I was just thinking...I can't be the only one who has noticed that there are alot of songs with lyrics/vocal performances that are meant to be serious but come across as unintentionally hilarious?
One example that always cracks me up is the end of "Dude Looks like a Lady!" by Aerosmith...the part where Steven Tyler goes "Yow! Yow! Yow! Y-y-y-y-y-y-y-y-Yow!" The really jittery, stuttered yelp at the end always makes me just about die laughing
Last night at Roller derby.. the national anthem... oh god I was literally biting my tung they had two people trying to do this oldstyle harmony... oh it hurt.
I actually think my vocal training made it harder for me to do the screamy stuff...or maybe my voice is just too high.... (I'm afraid if I tried, it would end up sounding all Psyklon-9-ish....minus the weird digital-sounding flanger )

The singer in my band is like that, she learned proper and so for the longest time sounding hard was a problem, not that we do more then two or three songs where she actually want's/needs to and it's only a line here of there anyway.
I can sing [sort of], but I go for years at a time not doing so, so my voice is never in go practice

Exactly. Where do you think Adam Sandler got that one goofy voice?
I always think about 70's songs as if they're just talking about straight fucking(cause usually they are) and I mean lighter, pop/oldies tunes. My favorite is "It don't Come Easy" by Ringo Starr.
but this "love" of mine keeps growing all the time,
and you know it don't come easy.

i'll tell you, "The Star-Spangled Banner" is one of the most difficult songs to sing that i've ever sung or heard, and i've been singing since my mother drafted me into the church choir at age 5. the range from lowest note to highest note is farther than the range of the typical human voice regardless of range, so one typically has to start so low that you're croaking "o-oh SAY..." if you want to have any hope of hitting the high notes. when i watch sporting events i always cringe when the singer heads for "...the rocket's red glare..." because i know that 8 of 10 times it's going to hurt.
