SUMMER CAMP SING-ALONG

[caliten]

Hey there campers! No camp experience is complete without at least one sing-along, so let's get one started. The idea here is that I'll provide a line from a song, and the next person has to ID the song title and singer, then post their own lyric for the next person to ID. Here's an example:

"I see a little silhouetto of a man"

and the next person responds Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen, and then posts a song lyric (just one line) of their own choosing. Make sense?

Let's get this singing started then!

"Ev'rybody dance now!"

(ps - I apologize ahead of time if you spend the next hour singing either of those songs for the rest of the day.)

Gonna Make You Sweat by C + C Music Factory

Twill be in the valley of love and delight

[Hillary]

Oh oh oh, I know this! This was one of my choir songs in high school. The name of the song is Simple Gifts, and it was originally written by Joseph Brackett. It is amazing how some things just stick in my head, but I can't remember what I ate for dinner yesterday.

OK here is mine...
"Let's get together, yeah yeah yeah"

[Dragonhome]

Let's Get Together' by Nobody's Angel.

Now this one will be difficult - not your usual group

Bitter words mean little to me

Watching me like you never watch no one
Don't tell me that you didn't try and check out my bum
Cause I know that you did
Cause your friend told me that you liked it

[caliten]

Merry Happy by Kate Nash, and I have to admit, I don't know that I've heard this one before.

And I'm going to offer up this one, more than just a single line, because my 10 yo daughter belted it out (very unexpectedly) in the car this evening:

Person man, person man
Hit on the head with a frying pan
Lives his life in a garbage can
Person man

but after this, back to just one line, please.

[shannonc]

Ooooh I knew this one without looking!

[slfam]

Wow! I had to look that one up and watch it on youtube! So, that little ditty was called Particle Man and was brought to us by Songwriters: John Flansburgh / John Linnell

"When you're a Jet you're a Jet all the way"

[caliten]

And those two dudes are in the band They Might Be Giants.

I cheated and used Google because I had no idea.

Jet Song - West Side Story


My lyrics:

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine...

[caliten]

Googling is perfectly acceptable.

*Sigh* Taking me back to my younger days... That's Purple Rain by Prince

DH and I were texting these lyrics to each other yesterday:

"I like watching the puddles gather rain"

[shannonc]

No Rain by Blind Melon (ooooooh blast from the past!)

Ok ok, here's mine...

"I am not a stranger to the dark,
Hide away, they say,
'Cause we don't want your broken parts"

[Tedasgram]

By Keala Settle, This Is Me from The Greatest Showman

Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small

That is not one I had heard of, so I Googled it ...

my wish by Rascal Flats. This is showing all sorts of songs I haven't heard yet, it is a great way to try out some new songs!

So you can keep me inside the pocket of you ripped jeans...

[Stefanie]

I had to google that one Corrin.
