The Transformed Man
I can't help it, but I often feel an overwhelming urge to overcome both my natural tone-deafness and indugle some of my tourette-esque tendencies in musical fashion.

Many a time I've been sat at the lights singing away and adding my own words to well known songs, much to the amusement of whoever is in the next car to me.

Okay, singing about "Tainted Muff" is puerile and childish but what the hell. If I can't corrupt the lyrics I'll drop in the occasional "arse" or "minge" as I'm singing away.

If I change stations and find something truly offensive (Mariah Carey, Celine Dion, Westlife etc) I won't hold back from yelling "Do fuck off now!" at the stereo. I've also been known to have full on rows with my Sat Nav.

Also, if I'm at a party where someone's playing Sing Star I absolutely HAVE to have a go. I can't be dealing with singing along to Girls Aloud or Steps, so I usually end up belting out my own special versions of Queen numbers in a style William Shatner would be proud of.

On Singstar.
Kylie Minogue - It's in my eyes (or something) becomes "Come in my eyes"

It's a crowd pleaser

Radio Ga Ga
I scored a whopping 4575 on this. I am officially a "Wannabe" (on easy level of course).

When sufficiently morose I do a very passable "Love Will Tear Us Apart" apparently. In your face Barney Sumner!

I can vouch for PJM - he even snatched the microphone away from his young nieces just so he could belt out 'I want to break free'!

CHCB - you're on!

Dear PJM
Bernard Sumner didn't sing "Love will tear us apart"- 'Twas the mighty late Ian Curtis. I know, I'm a pedant, but Sumner has NOWT on Curtis.

Belmsford

Bernard Sumner and New Order performed a live rendition of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" some years back at Glastonbury, I have a recording of it. It must be said (and I feel traitorous for saying this, I am a huge NO/JD fan and possess several white label LPs) that Sumner pretty much murdered it - I wholeheartedly agree with Sumner having nowt on Curtis!

My post was a rather obscure sideswipe.

Sorry PJM
Didn't realise Sumner had done a version, I must have blocked it due to the horror. Just found them doing it in Japan- Oh, the humanity! I thought that Sumner would have never done this, it seems like he has a problem remembering the words. Sumner- first up against the wall come the revolution.
