Imagine £1 million was up for grabs. All you have to do to win it is sing a song from start to finish without getting a word wrong.

    Don’t let the sun go down on me.
    i actually used to sing the occasional song in various bands I was in, the most embarrassing was stairway to heaven, the most successful was Your Song. ?

    Meat loaf - bat out of hell. I listened to it from a young age because my parents were a big fan. So now I love it and know all the lyrics. Even tho it is nearly 10 mins long the album version lol

    Not that I can sing (altho I was an alto in the school choir :o ), it would have to be 'On Ilkla Moor baht 'at.' My parents taught me it, & we used to always sing it coming back into Yorkshire if we'd been away. I carried on the tradition with my children. Much to my surprise my daughter-in-law was the first to break into song the last time this happened, so I've 'educated' her as well. :)

    Two Suns In The Sunset.
    But the Pink Floyd purists would hate it because I'd want to add Calypso rhythms with whooping as a dig at the songs nuclear theme.

    TWOTHREEFOUR
    The sun is going down
    NEVERTOOKATEST

    Etc. A shame every musician fears being laughed at, instead of taking that and using it as bulletproof cocoon you're doing something right and should gain strength from.

    now where's my million £

    You haven't sung it yet @woodbine ;) 

    If you do, your £1 million will definitely be on it's way via... email. For sure.

    Good one @Username_removed..I love watching 'Springsteen on Broadway'...normally I get impatient when they talk more than they sing..but really enjoyed listening to him talk about his  life growing up...

    Thanks, I now have an ear worm, lol.   :smiley:

    I don't know if you heard it, but Jeremy Vine played it on Radio 2 the other day.

    Sorry @TheAlien - no, I didn't hear it on Radio 2; an opportunity missed, as I would have had to join in. :) Are you from Yorkshire?
