I am looking for well known English songs that are fun to sing to while traveling. Since English is but my 4th language, I generally do not know the lyrics by heart even if it is a song I have heard many times.
Any suggestions?
This will probably really hurt my male rep on this forum, but here it goes...
What about.....
"The wheels on the bus go round and round.....all day long"
"I am the music man.....what does he play...."
"show me the way to go home....had a little drink bout an hour ago....."
just a few classics to get ya going.
hehe. have fun.
Thanks but no thanks not really looking for annoying "European Vacation" type songs...
Maybe more like something cool to sing around a campfire in the African desert...
Some ideas ... On the road again (Willie Nelson) I'm walking (Fats Domino) Radar love (Golden Earring) 500 miles (Hooters) Route 66 (Nat King Cole) That kind of music?
Yep that's more like it Our love is here to stay (Gershwin) Delia's gone (Johnny Cash) Where do I begin (Shirley Bassey) You know I'm no good (Amy Winehouse) Hit the road Jack (Ray Charles) etc...
Not necessarily a good song to sing, but it is a wonderful
song to listen to.
Doors-LA Woman
Alabama Song (whiskey Bar) is a great Doors tune to sing to - thanks!
