Title: What's the Most Difficult Song To Sing?
Post by: 2 of 3 on August 01, 2016, 04:29:16 pm

I was thinking more about popular music than anything else. What song is just ridiculously difficult to sing?  :P

Dang.  Great great question.

Here are some songs that come to mind.

Happiness Is A Warm Gun. 

Without You.  Nilssons version.

Monkberry Moon.

Star Spangled Banner is hard because of the range of notes.

Take On Me.

And this...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHc4u-1QIk (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEHc4u-1QIk)

I was thinking Send in The Clowns would be tough.

'There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart)' by the Eurythmics. No one has ever dared to cover that!

'Take On Me' was another good choice  8)

I was watching this earlier and was impressed that Alanis doesn't have to wind up to hit the high notes. I've noticed a lot of singer sort of "merge" into hitting notes instead of just hitting the right note immediately. I also love the sound of the drums on this.

Yes 2, that is crazy easy for her almost.  And...I took my computer over to the drums and tried to play along with the song.  I didnt quite get it perfectly but realized how cool it was.


What Jewel sings from 1:50 on is actually hard even for her.  For the rest of the humans on earth it is nearly impossible.
