"Probably the Hallelujah Chorus
Or Zadoc the Priest "
Oh, I love Zadoc the Priest. My dad used to be in the Westminster Choir, so there are a heck of a lot of choral songs, hymns and the like (including Gilbert and Sullivan musicals) that bring back great memories |

"Um. A song I once heard live from a band that never made it nearly 20 years ago. Apparently  "
Just reading that gave me an earworm. Two and a half minutes of snotty indie-punk called Halo by a no-mark band called Embassy. Saw them once in a proper toilet venue and bought the 7". Played it to death. And now the song’s stuck in my head again. So THANKS PREY.

You're welcome.
Mine was a b side to a single that never went anywhere and I can't find a copy of it anywhere. I seem to know all the words though. Or at least, my brain has filled in what I think the words were pretty effectively |

Both absolute belters to sing!
I'd sing anything and everything 
Mrs TMN x"
Aren't they!
I'd follow with a selection of Beth Hart, Gregory Porter and Amy Winehouse covers and Motown hits you have known and loved  with a few operatic arias thrown in for good measure.
Thinking about it this might be the reason I was alone  |

"Hasa Diga Ebowi from The Book of Mormon.
Actually y’all can listen.
“Fuck you god in the ass mouth and cunt / fuck you in the eye”  "
I loved that musical
I also loved how they made it local. "Nigel Farage" was the reference we got thrown in in Manchester |

Unchained Melody, somewhere between the Elvis version and The Righteous Brothers version.
I belt it out in the car a fair amount  .
I can hit all the right notes.
But never in the right order.
Mating foxes like it though . |

"What song would you sing? "
Does this have to include myself also??
I'm feeling uncharacteristically cheerful today so I'm gonna go for the Ode to joy.
Plus if it was good enough for Ludvig van B when he was deaf at the time, then it's good enough for me.
Failing that, Creeping Death by Metallica.
Okay. Seriously: Cowboy Song by Thin Lizzy, or Look at You by Screaming Trees. |

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
/
Lyrics
Now, this is a story all about how
My life got flipped-turned upside down
And I'd like to take a minute
Just sit right there
I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel-Air
In West Philadelphia born and raised
On the playground was where I spent most of my days
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin', all cool
And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
When a couple of guys who were up to no good
Started making trouble in my neighborhood
I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
She said, "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air"
I begged and pleaded with her day after day
But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way
She gave me a kiss and then she gave me my ticket
I put my Walkman on and said, "I might as well kick it"
First class, yo this is bad
Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass
Is this what the people of Bel-Air living like?
Hmm, this might be alright
But wait, I hear they're prissy, bourgeois, all that
Is this the type of place that they just send this cool cat?
I don't think so
I'll see when I get there
I hope they're prepared for the prince of Bel-Air
Well, the plane landed and when I came out
There was a dude who looked like a cop standing there with my name out
I ain't trying to get arrested yet, I just got here
I sprang with the quickness like lightning, disappeared
I whistled for a cab and when it came near
The license plate said, "Fresh" and it had dice in the mirror
If anything I could say that this cab was rare
But I thought "Nah, forget it, yo, holmes to Bel Air"  guess ill be b alone |
