I'm going to ball you ... discreetly.
For years I have been promising to sing a song to you, Internet. A song that didn't involve screeching a sampling of the entire Mariah Carey catalog with all the hotness of a talented Mongolian Yak, or a random burst of musical joy as "WOULDN'T IT BE NICE" by the Beach Boys suddenly hits the cd player. Violently. Beautifully. Beach Boyfully.
Not that Laura and I aren't awesome beyond measuring for the above. After all, we're the kind of girls who cruise around in a minivan blaring a 1999 Monica, when the boy was still hers and no one could properly sing any of her massive run ons. EXCEPT MAYBE ME AND LAURA.
Like, we were connected even then in our love of Monica and Mariah Carey. Except that while she was chronicling the sexcapades of her rabbits with a disposable camera, I was wearing pants made out of vinyl and angst-riddenly making mixed tapes featuring Stabbing Westward, Marilyn Manson and ... the Spice Girls.
Anyways. A few years back I discovered this song ... this wonderful, magical, marvellous song that is now mainly my signature "I AM DRUNK AND YOU WILL LISTEN OR I WILL THROW THIS JAR OF PEANUTS AT YOUR HEAD" song. However, to be fair, I sing it everywhere and to everyone. There is something so deep and meaningful about the lyrics, in that way that they aren't just beautiful words ... it's also some really great advice.
And so, I present to y'all, a slightly rusty version of me singing one of my favourite songs accapella --
FUCK HER GENTLY.
Please be kind. I am no Raffi.
Also, that is CSI you hear at the beginning. I was nervous about singing in front of my iRiver apparently and had to have some Gil Grissom in the background for backup.

excuse me while I go to the bathroom and do naughty things....
... lol.
Ode to my car!!!!!!!!!
Okay, so my cousin's wedding was today. I missed most of it, but I attended enough of it to get intoxicated. Then I got to listen to this nugget of music history. Let me tell you, my life will be downhill from here.
Sung in the key of . . . S? Everything was fine until you hit the money note at the end, and my mo'jumping glass of V-8 exploded in my hand.
Do "Karate" next time. With inward singing.
Yikes!*
*interpret that as you will :)
I know I can't sing. This is why it is funny.
And that money note. That is the sound of raw, unharnessed talent I WILL HAVE YOU KNOW.
Nice sound ,there are potentials in there but first we must do something about the lyrics lol
Thats all they girls they aints they hello...........
Okay, come on now Sarah. We need more bloggin and less sleeping in parking lots. What the hell.
You sounded a bit nervous (attributable to your intentions of exposing your pipes to the clasically-trained ears of your average web spaz), and your keys were various--but you do have a very nice, warm voice. I am exactly the same, without the benefit of the nice, warm voice. I bet you'd sound excellent doing a mellower jazzy thing. And please don't take my comments the wrong way: James Taylor may sing "Seek and Destroy" and "Bulls on Parade" on HIS blog, but he saves "You've Got a Friend" for the albums.
You know that's what I thought too (after recovering frommy bathroon naughtiness). Your voice would sound really nice on jazzier tunes. At some moments it sorta reminded me of Norah Jones.
