Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

I can’t sing. A friend of ours, ( sings in a band etc) maintained anyone can sing despite me saying I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket. Pestered me so much I gave in when she said she would sing along with me, she soon changed her mind. lol

I can’t sing but I think I can, especially after a few drinks. My karaoke experiences are Don’t let the sun go down on me (I was George Michael my friend was Elton John as we made it the live version ), Valerie (obvs) on my dils hen do, and Waterloo- again a duo with my pal. Although I was awful I really enjoyed it tbh

A friend of mine who is an actor/ singer also says anyone can be taught to sing. He always quotes Rex Harrison in My Fair Lady. I beg to differ . I sound like a strangled cat.

I have no idea. But it's up there with YNWA.

Interestingly although I love Simon and Garfunkel I can't stand Bridge over Troubled Water

I'm not a fan either but I wouldn't get up and leave the room if Unchained Melody started playing

Good morning. What was supposed be a chill out day has been a bit stressful and frustrating so far. At about 10..30 last night I got a notification that there had been a transaction for Amazon Music on my credit card. £10. This was absolutely definitely not me. I know fraudsters often try a small transaction to see if it goes through and then do bigger ones if they are successful. I froze my card so all is OK. Here's the frustrating bit. This morning I looked up how to contact the card provider. They were open. I could choose webchat or phone. I chose webchat. Went through all the security, got through to a real person, explained what happened and was eventually told to ring. customer services. I'm not happy by now but do as I'm told. So I ring up, go through all the security again and speak to somebody who listens to my story and then asks me to go on webchat to report this. Aaaarrrghhh!!! I explained that I had already done this and was told to call. The alternative was wait until Wednesday when somebody could help me by phone. I've given up. My card is OK. I have no intention of unfreezing it so I'll wait until Wednesday.

Agree on the Simon and Garfunkel stance. There are many better songs.

I feel the need to stick up forBOTW . One of two iconic songs on the album , although for me eclipsed by The Boxer.

So long Frank Lloyd Wright for me off that album

 

[anjelikaferrett]

My two favourite Simon and Garfunkel songs are Mrs Robinson and The Sound of Silence.

The Boxer gives me goosebumps every time. People can have a tendency to overrate S&G but that’s a legitimately excellent song.
