Wanted - Song Suggestions

[saxy_jag]

Need suggestions for fairly easy songs that a small group of bloke-y blokes might want to join in with.

Don't need reasons why they shouldn't.

there is nothing like a dame

[Purple_Popple]

What age group jag?

[EcclesCake]

What's the context?

[saxy_jag]

Mainly 40 something, some family men, couple of ex-military, a bit sporty and a bit domesticated, sometimes quite blue! They're my office team who keep giving me excuses as to why they can't/don't sing, yet remain interested in my own singing progress. I just want to start by offering them a couple of recorded tracks to sing or whistle along to ad hoc, so probably a bit of rock/pop or maybe even something they can take the mickey out of.

'Nothing like a dame' is something that could work once they were on board. Might be a bit frightening for them begin with, though.

What about rock anthems that we all wail along to in the car?

Starting them off on familiar stuff might be the ice breaker they need?

[Gromit]

I'm too sexy for my shirt.

[saxy_jag]

My own bloke has just suggested The Proclaimers' '500 miles'. It might work, and they could well be hearing it in their cars because it's just been included in a new film. I reckon they'd know it well enough to muck about with it too, which would be a great confidence booster.

For The Longest Time - Billy Joel.

'Silver Lining' could work. Well known, lots of fun and easy to learn. I may just ask the boss to pop this on the office Christmas play list. Thanks flipnflap.

Any song by Status Quo would do. Then they can all do the headbanging thing as well............and the air guitars.

[saxy_jag]

flobadob, much as I love that song, I couldn't bear to work with it. Kenny Rogers was my late dad's favourite singer and the song lyrics are a piece of advice he quoted at me time and again. I'm afraid I would spend all my working time crying my eyes out. ;-)

The Monkees - Daydream Believer or I'm A Believer.

Favourite Christmas song to shout along too is Slade - Merry Xmas Everybody.
