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.

What song would you sing?

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. ?

Tori_Scope

Good choice @leeCal! 

Why embarrassing?

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 ), 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.

@chiarieds that’s amazing. I’m from Yorkshire too. Nice to see a fellow Yorkshian (as I call it) lol xx

I'm a Yorkshire lass too 

Mine would have to be simply the best song it with my bestie on stage at my first  wedding 

MissMarple

Under this pressure I can’t even remember the lyrics of Twinkle, twinkle.

@janer1967 cool! ? and I love that song. Actually love all Tina Turner songs

"A thousand stars" a Billy Fury song that I definitely know all the words to, now where's my million £  

AZF

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.

In my rear view mirror

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.  

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